Around back the TS-669 PRO features the Power Supply unit, two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two eSATA ports, two 90mm cooling fans, a VGA port for maintenance, the K-Lock Security Slot, and the Password & Network Settings Reset Button.
The exterior, as a whole, is well polished and the TS-669 PRO does not fray from that QNAP style we have become accustomed to.
Inside the TS-669 PRO, things start to heat up. First, this NAS is much more than meets the eye. These devices no longer serve just files, they are business ready. As with almost all
QNAP devices, this one shares a unified firmware that offers:
- FTP Server
- File Server
- Backup Center
- Web Server
- Radius Server
- Syslog Server
- Printer Server
- Surveillance Station
- VPN Server
- LDAP Server
- Proxy Server
- Music Station
- Photo Station
- Video Station
- DJ Station
- Cloud Access via MyCloudNAS
- Mobile Applications
- Much More with QNAP QPKGs
The list is virtually endless.
QNAP packs FIPS 140-2 certified AES 256-bit volume based data encryption for those concerned about storing sensitive or confidential data. This type of encryption requires that a password or key is provided in order to access any of the data stored. Obtaining this level of encryption is no easy or cheap task for QNAP to accomplish. The testing and validation required to be certified is a necessary measure in order to have storage products sold to the Federal Government. Along with the security that encryption brings you, there still remains the ability to limit accessibility to the NAS based on IP filtering and user/group level access rights as well as policy based automatic IP blocking.
