The editors didn't like
Room for only one internal hard drive
Runs a bit hot due to lack of cooling
The size would have allowed an internal power supply
Doesnt come with a hard drive
The lack of a hard drive makes us frown slightly
But it also drops the device's price. So really
This is a plus disguised as a minus.
Update server is incredibly slowpop a movie in when a new firmware comes out
Needs SFTP for secure
ViatheInternet transfersI dont like FTP over SSL
When backing up a flash drive on the front port
One must eject the unit from within the administration...

Read speed not as fast as write speed
Jumbo Frame feature doesnt help much
Runs slightly hot
No HD temperature monitor
Some software (QGET and NetBak) does not work with Mac
The leading single-drive NAS server from QNAP, TS-109 Pro, produces ambiguous impressions. On one hand, it offers excellent design, a good case (acting as a heat sink), so its practically noiseless. Excellent speed for copying large files, it even br...

On paper, the TS-109 Pro looked like a giant and in many regards; it lived up to those claims. With its low wattage footprint (QNAP claims that the TS-109 Pro only uses 6.6w of power when in sleep mode and a paltry 14.4W when in use) and full list of ...

TS-109 Pro was packaged in a highly informative box, which basically had almost every feature of the unit written on the outside, a big plus because it literally eliminates the possibility of the users not knowing what they are getting, or having any d...
The QNAP TS-109 Pro is a very easy to use NAS solution - it can easily handle the file, print and web serving needs of a home or a small business. It is not a very fast server however - at the default settings you can expect to average write speeds of...

By all measures, this beats what Ive personally got running as my NAS: an old Dell Dimension with a Pentium 2 300 MHz processor, 64 MB of PC100 RAM, and a 6 GB hard drive and dual network cards. The TS-109 has a 500 MHz ARM processor and 128 MB of DD...
The QNAP TS-109 Pro Networked Attached Storage unit is one of the most feature-packed NAS units available for the consumer. Not only does it come with every feature under the sun that you would want in an NAS, but it is highly configurable and sports ...
By far the QNAP TS-109 Pro’s greatest asset is its long list of features, including everything you could possibly ask for in a NAS device. The functionality of the unit was excellent as it was easy to setup and use. Although the appearance of the un...

The QNAP TS-109 Pro is a feature packed NAS with excellent transfer performance. It has maintained the same feels and looks of the TS101 but has upgraded the processor, memory, and software. Personally, I really enjoy the web interface file manageme...

When I received the unit the first thing I noticed was the price, I actually thought "Id never buy this myself", however, now that Ive been using it for a while I think I should be keeping the device in service.Nearly all tasks of my current home ser...
