QNAP TAS-268 Dual Bay NAS review

A Closer Look At The QNAP TAS-268 NAS »

QNAP TAS-268Network storage is becoming more and more popular with the home user. As their data needs change, so does they way in which they store their data. More and more, I see each individual family member has their own PC and rather than just share a folder on one of the PCs, it makes sense to have a low power device on the network for storage. However, a NAS can be quite a challenge for some to set up as they were initially build for businesses. The QNAP TAS-268 aims to help change that with the help of Google’s Android operating system.

 

 

Unlike other NAS units that we have reviewed from QNAP, the packaging is decorative. Typically a QNAP NAS comes in a plain cardboard box with a small sticker detailing the model number but, since this NAS is aimed at home users specifically, QNAP chose to use a line art drawing of the NAS. The box also features specifications and features on the front and rear of the unit.

 

Inside, the QNAP TAS-268 is further protected from damage as it is encased in a rigid foam insert. There is a plastic cover that is attached to the NAS to protect the finish from scratches and scuffs.
