Overview

TS-231P3: Quad-Core NAS with Feature-Rich 2.5 GbE LAN

Featuring a 1.7GHz Alpine AL-314 quad-core processor and 2.5GbE LAN connectivity, the 2.5"/3.5" QNAP TS-231P3 offers home users multiple features including snapshot-based backup, file synchronization, and private cloud services. The TS-231P3 is also a home entertainment centre for streaming photos, music and videos to multiple devices either locally or over the internet.

Deploy your home network

Powered by an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314 1.7 GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB or 4 GB DDR3L RAM, a 1 GbE network port and a 2.5 GbE network port, the TS-231P3 includes a 2.5 GbE RJ45 port, which delivers up to 2.5 times the speed of regular Gigabit Ethernet and enables smoother multimedia playback and everyday use. The TS-231P3 ensures data security by supporting 256-bit AES encryption and various local/remote/cloud backup options

Easy and Secure File Management

File Station enables direct management of files stored on the TS-231P3 and in the cloud. Users can easily transfer files from their PC, drag and drop files between folders, rename/delete files, and set folder/file permissions to prevent unauthorized access. Similarly, users can use Microsoft Office Online to directly view/edit Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-231P3. Confidential/sensitive data can also be encrypted for added security.

Multi-point file backup, access and synchronisation

The TS-231P3 supports file sharing protocols (including SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS) for Windows, Mac and Linux/UNIX devices. Combined with Qsync (a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a secure and high-capacity data centre for file synchronization), any file uploaded to the TS-231P3 becomes available to all related devices, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Hybrid Backup Sync helps backup/synchronize data on the TS-231P3 to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage for disaster recovery. In addition, QuDedup technology greatly improves the efficiency of multi-version backup to destination storage, while optimizing storage utilization. You can install the QuDedup Extraction Tool on your computer and restore deduplicated files to their normal state.

Protect important data with snapshots

Snapshots help protect data by recording the entire NAS system state and metadata. With snapshots, users can quickly restore files to previously saved states if files are accidentally deleted or modified, or if the system is compromised by malware. QNAP snapshots are block-based and save only modified data. Not only do they save storage space, but they also reduce the time needed to back up and restore data.

Monitor system status and data security

The Notification Center consolidates all QTS system events and alerts, providing a single app solution for notifications. Security Counselor recommends actions and settings to enhance the security of the TS-231P3.

Extend the functionality of your NAS

Container Station integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies, allowing users to host and operate containerized applications directly on the TS-231P3. With many popular and fully configured applications available on the integrated Docker Hub (also for automation and multimedia), the TS-231P3 provides users with a wide range of high-potential functions and application capabilities.

In addition, the TS-231P3 includes apps for backup/synchronisation, content management, communications, downloading and entertainment. All apps can be installed with a single click from the QTS App Center.

Simplified photo management

QuMagie brings you a whole new experience in photo management. By incorporating a deep learning AI algorithm, QuMagie enables facial recognition, object identification, and geotagging of photos on your NAS. Similar photos are grouped into AI albums (i.e. People, Objects and Places). Other useful features include built-in chronological scrolling, customizable folder covers and a powerful search tool, providing you with the ultimate photo management and sharing solution.

    Product bought from LDLC on 7 Dec 2020
    Number of reviews: 2 Average rating: 4

    Does its job, very slow to start

    I discovered Qnap with this product.
    I'm not sure it's suitable for a beginner: its hard drive settings are not intuitive.
    It takes at least 5 minutes to start and as much to stop...
    There are however many more positive points:
    - Its transfer speed
    - the integrated tools like "qsync".
    It is compatible with the freebox pop network (2.5GB)
    I replaced its 2GB memory stick with a 4GB one available from LDLC for 25€.
    I prefer its performance to that of my old Synology whose range is still limited to 1Go.... network
