Slick NAS admin UI, Highly featured, SMS alert support, High transfer speeds
Cheap display on the NAS, "Stations" need to be overhauled
The QNAP TS-509 Pro comes highly recommended — its a highly flexible NAS with an interface thats gaining usability as time goes on. Its weak point is in its add-ons — the Multimedia and Download Stations could do with a complete rework.

Newegg lists the QNAP TS-509 Pro at 899.00 and the Thecus N5200PRO at 749.00. From a feature standpoint both products have more or less the same functionality but ease of use and as we put on display today, performance clearly goes to the TS-509. So...
eSATA and Dual Gigabit ports, fast transfer speeds, comprehensive remote administration features, RAID 5 and 6 configurations, compatible with 1.5TB hard drives
LCD could be more functional, learning curve for Web interface
The TS-509 Pro is a comprehensive and functional network-attached storage device that gives users plenty of reasons to centralise their data. With handy administration features and the ability to expand storage on the fly, there’s little reason not...
We wouldn’t go so far as to recommend the QNAP TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS to small business users with relatively little technical knowledge, as its price and sheer range of features mean that it remains very much a product for corporate users. However, it ...
High performance, Feature rich, Easy to use, Builtin power supply, Plenty of external connection options, Highly moddable, Configurable without PC
Expensive, Slower with huge files
The QNAP NAS devices use mostly the same firmware, if you like one youll like the others. Features that actually separate the models come in the hardware and the (storage) expansion options. We already knew the firmware is easy to use and full of feat...
Extremely powerful NAS product, 64.0/68.3 MiB/s Gigabit Ethernet read/write performance, RAID-0, 1, 5, 6, 5Spare, Single, and JBOD disk configurations, Dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs with teaming and failover safety, High-quality durable metal enclosure, E...
Does not offer Jumbo Frame functionality, Basic web interface compared to competing options, QNAP does not offer a local US support telephone line, Integrated PSU could cause trouble if replacement is needed out of warranty, Package includes obsolete C...
Benchmark Reviews believes that manufacturers should be educating consumers with their product packaging, so they can make the most informed decision possible. This is why we ratie the retail package presentation. in terms of the TS-509 Pro NAS this ra...
Finally a NAS appliance with RAID support, Powerful 1.6Ghz Processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM, Touch-n-Go PC-less interface configuration, Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports, 5 USB ports, 5 Hot-Swap SATA drive Support, Energy Saving Design, Network Event Logging, Device He...
Cannot upgrade installed software without OS flash, No "door" to hide the hotswap bays.
When it comes to a cool feature packed Network Attached Storage device you'll be hard pressed to find anything more versatile than the TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS. It comes with a whole laundry list of features specific to the task of serving up files but a...
It could have been a perfect ride for the QNAP TS-509 but as we deal with so many products that acquire updates over time, we have this rule we can only include what is available, no matter what. That means QPKG options at this time are not completed. Mos...
Up to 5TB of storage possible, Easy to set up and maintain, LCD for basic functions, Numerous features, Quiet operation, Two gigabit LAN ports, Five USB ports
Expensive
It's rare to come across a product that exceeds my expectations as much as this NAS did. Even excellent products usually have some minor issue that I come across during a review, but it was difficult to find anything negative at all to say about the ...
