QNAP TS-233-US Reviews

Assembly is easy; Set-up not so much

By Frank
Rated 5 out of 5

Most important - after implementation, the NAS has performed brilliantly (for 2 weeks so far) and I'm very satisfied. This was not a kit so I had to install disks and configure the unit. I used the same type of disk that comes in kits and physical installation was a snap. As others have written, configuring requires a fair bit of knowledge. I was lacking but was able to figure it out over a couple of hours. I may not have the most optimal installation but it works great for me.

Great NAS

Bought this unit to migrate from an older QNAP TS-133 to the TS-233 to take advantage of the latest QNAP operating system. Removed the two 4TB WD drives from the TS-133 I had been using and inserted them into the the TS-233. The drives were immediately recognized with no formatting required and no data loss. The first backup ran according the previous backup schedule with no problems. Seamless transition (the way things are supposed to work). Very happy with this purchase.

Asked by: William
Yes, the QNAP TS-233-US 2-Bay NAS Enclosure could be used with a single drive, but this would preclude any type of RAID, which would diminish either performance or parity.

Can I set this up to back up an external HDD and the internal SSD of my MacBook over ethernet every night?
Asked by: William
Yes, you can use the QNAP TS-233-US 2-Bay NAS Enclosure as backup storage for your MacBook, you would have to use the QNAP software to setup automated backup times for your drives and your computer would have to be on at the time at which you setup the backup to occur.
