About QNAP TS-228A
FEATURED REVIEWS
Good Budget NAS
So far so good. Put 2 x 4 TB WD Reds in here in RAID 1. Performance is pretty snappy. Hybrid backup sync works well. Pretty quiet, only noise really comes from hard drives. Plex works fine for streaming (I assume it won't transcode well but haven't needed to try).

High-End Snapshot Protection For Files & Data.
QNAP has extended support for file snapshot protection to our entry-level NAS. Snapshots were originally only possible on high-end business systems, and they allow you to record the system state and data content at a single point of time. With snapshot protection, if you accidentally delete/modify files, or if any hard disks should fail or your network is infected with malware, you can quickly restore files to a previous point in time.
