Comments about Qnap TS-869 Pro Turbo NAS Server:
Using it as NAS for media and computer backup, streaming to PS3, Popcorn hour, LDAP and FTP.
Works flawlessly and fast. Some applications with it, most of them I don't really see a point in using (photo, music etc station), but they might find be of importance to someone. Memory can be added, but even with current use the 1GB provided seems to be more than enough. Happy with the purchase.
