Fast file transfers, easy to use Web interface, comprehensive connectivity
QPKG add-ons can be difficult to configure, can't read/write drives with HFS+ file systems, no LCD status screen
The QNAP TS-259 Pro Turbo NAS offers a powerful Atom processor that provides fast file transfers and streaming performance. Though QNAP doesn't sell the cheapest NAS devices, businesses that need fast performance and good backup measures will find that th...
Excellent performance, Excellent features, Runs quiet and cool, Low power consumption, Plenty of ports: 5 USB, two eSATA, and two Gigabit Lan
Only 1 USB on the front
QNAP has designed the perfect NAS for home users. The Atom-based TS-259 Pro offers excellent performance. The unit excels in many areas such as multi-user environment, HD content transfer, and file copy. While the unit does not always beat other NAS p...

All of this performance comes at a price, though. A drive-less unit will set you back about £440, or £150 to £200 more than two-bay consumer-grade models. But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and we're talking Batmobile versus a bunch of ...
Clunky interface, Long setup, Intimidating to mass consumers
QNAP has many competitors in the small business NAS market. While the TS-259 admirably features iSCSI service for virtualized and clustered work environments in addition to extensive security and administrative features, there are some missteps and an...
The fastest NAS box we've ever tested--by a factor of two--also packs in the features for both home and office users. But the speed comes at a price. ...
59.0/44.8 MBps best read/write performance, New v3.xx administration GUI, VMware Ready iSCSI for virtualization deployments, Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Level Migration, 2Bay SATA hotswap RAID storage, Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controllers with teaming and failover, Preinstalled PHPMySQL and Apache web server, RAID0/1/JBOD disk configurations, Four HighSpeed USB2.0 ports USB
SAS version for enterpriseclass, 15,000 RPM drives not available, Some capabilities will be too daunting for a novice SOHO user
Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure that all a...
Good performance, Tons of features, Fairly easy to use, Uses both 3.5” or 2.5” drives
Fan can get loud, Rather expensive
The QNAP TS-259 Pro is a powerful and useful NAS box, it's a great choice for either home or business uses. Overall it's not a bad product, the noise level could be a problem, but that's only if you keep the box nearby. I have my Thecus N3200 pro unde...

Small businesses that don’t need much storage but require fast performance and flexibility will find the QNAP TS-259 Pro Turbo a useful NAS device. Some features aren’t as easy to use as others, however, so the less tech savvy may need to frequent the...
Very powerful with Intel Atom processor, No significant performance loss with any RAID 1, Quick file transfers, Flexible design, lots of software options available
you QNAP for making this review possible.
Good things come in small packages and the QNAP TS-259 Pro is exactly that. You shouldn’t be fooled by the small footprint. Packed inside this small chassis is a very powerful dual core Intel Atom processor with 1GB of memory. The result is a powerf...
