QNAP TS-219P II

QNAP TS-219 PII

QNAP's NAS systems are often very well-designed. The NAS devices are often very sturdy and have good performance. Their latest 2-bay NAS designed for home and SOHO—the TS-219P II features an upgraded processor compared to the TS-219+ model that was released late last year. The new model features the Marvell 2.0GHz processor, a speed bump from the 1.6GHz found on the older 2-bay NAS. Other than this, the two devices are pretty much similar internally as both share 512MB of DDRIII RAM and 16MB of flash memory. Our review sample is shipped directly from Taiwan so the box is a little dented. As always, there are plenty of information on the outside of the box detailing the specification of the device and its various features. Inside we can see that QNAP secures the NAS in padded foam so no damage is found on the sample. The accessories are placed neatly in a separate box. Inside, we found the NAS comes with: Power adapter Installation Quide Bag of screws A network cable Measuring at 168.5 mm (H) x 102 mm (W) and 225 mm (D), the NAS weighs 1.28 kg and is pretty standard in size for a two bay NAS.
