The video station allows you to archive and store your personal video collection easily.  You can access your videos from anywhere and share them with friends/family.

Notable Mentions:

  • Download Station: If for some reason you didn’t want to download files to your PC or from your PC, you could do so via the Download Station.  Support for FTP, Bit Torrent, HTTP, RapidShare, and my favorite… Magnet links.
  • File Station: Access the files on your NAS from anywhere
  • HD Station: With QNAP HD Station you can enjoy a Full HD movie experience on the big-screen TV via HDMI and my absolute favorite bit of software, XBMC.

That just scratches the surface!  You also have all the applications available to you from the App Center.  The App Center is an easy way to install more than 100 applications to extend your NAS functionality.

ASUSTOR AS5008T Review

ASUSTOR has become one of my go to manufacturers for NAS. They have made some great NAS at some very affordable prices. Naturally, as time goes on, components are less expensive for consumers and for manufacturers. This allows NAS makers to pack more power into their storage appliances without increasing costs. In some cases, we are finding more powerful NAS at lower costs. To compliment this decrease in costs, production ramps up, R&D ramps up, and product enhancements increase. Ok, the point of all that? ASUSTOR has released a new 8-bay NAS, gave it more power, slapped a new name on it, and... lowered the cost. Enter the AS5008T.
