Adorama is currently offering the QNAP TS-230 2-Bay NAS for $147 shipped. Down from its usual $180 going rate at Amazon, today’s offer is still one of the first times we’ve seen it on sale, beats our previous mention by $3, and marks a new all-time low. This 2-bay NAS from QNAP is an ideal solution for home backups, media storage, and more with support for up to 32TB of storage. Alongside H.264 hardware decoding and real-time transcoding that’ll make it a solid Plex server, there’s 2GB of RAM as well as a Gigabit Ethernet port that enables up to 113MB/s transfer speeds. So far it carries a 4.9/5 star rating, and other QNAP NAS are well-reviewed. Head below the fold for additional details.
A more affordable alternative to consider would be going with Synology’s 1-Bay DS120j NAS at $100 instead. This option will only hold a single hard drive, rather than two like the lead deal, but it’s a much lower price point to consider for getting in the NAS game for the first time.
If you’re looking for a higher-end option, Synology just recently unveiled its new 5-Bay DS1520+ NAS. This model packs plenty of notable specs including 451MB/s speeds, expanded I/O, and 20% performance gains over the previous generation. Get all the details in our launch coverage right here.
