Music server within a hi-fi system.
Unlike Synology, which imposes its disks, QNAP gives you the choice to suit your use.
Designed for individuals and small businesses, the QNAP TS-216G NAS offers 2 storage bays and a 2.5 Gbps network connector. With this NAS, you can not only enjoy easy access, sharing and synchronization of files with multiple devices, but also run productivity tools and multimedia applications to streamline your workflow and data management.

Powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0 GHz processor, 4 GB of built-in RAM, two network ports including a 2.5 Gigabit and support for two SATA 6 Gbit/s drives, the TS-216G provides reliable read/write performance to run a variety of home and business NAS applications. The TS-216G includes hardware accelerated AES-NI 256 encryption for all shared NAS volumes and folders, boosting system performance while securing sensitive data.
Access NAS folders as if they were local folders: you can map your TS-216G NAS folders as a network drive on the computer and easily access them as a local drive.
Connect from anywhere via the Internet: Open a browser, connect to your TS-216G, and you can access your NAS files via File Station. You can also mount cloud storage on File Station and manage all your files from one place.


If you're curious about Docker or a hobbyist developer, Container Station on the TS-216G integrates lightweight LXD and Docker virtualisation technologies, so you can run any kind of application you've containerised. You can download apps from the integrated Docker Hub, including popular, fully configured applications, and deploy them with a single click. From smart homes to multimedia applications, you can explore your creativity and bring containerised applications to life.
In addition to Container Station, other apps (including tools for backup/synchronisation, content management, communications, downloads and entertainment) are available from the App Center. Simply click and install apps on demand to increase the functionality of your TS-216G.

Music server within a hi-fi system.
Unlike Synology, which imposes its disks, QNAP gives you the choice to suit your use.
To be seen in the long term as my previous Qnap nas ended up having problems but apparently it was due to the range of Celeron processors at the time which had problems with accelerated decay...
Smooth ordering and delivery at an attractive price.
The NAS itself doesn't meet my needs. Perfect combined with SSDs, very quiet and consumes very little power.
Very well-made NAS.
The settings are a little complex, but that's usual for QNAP (compared to Synology), but the level of performance of this NAS is unrivalled at this price level.
I've been using it for over 1 month now and it's working perfectly!
