Price looks intimidating, Not so high transfer speeds with RAID 6/5 arrays, Long boot time (>5min), No USB 3.0 support (QNAP just informed us that all new TS-x19P models will have USB 3.0 ports), Short warranty
The TS-419P II is certainly not the most affordable NAS out there, although it belongs to QNAP's lower-end category. Nevertheless after testing it for some weeks I realized that it offers many more features, beyond what average users require, so its pr...
Personally, I've been using the TS-419P II as a home NAS for some time and it has done a fantastic job as a backup unit first and a multimedia server second. The beauty of this device is simply the fact that it has 4 drive bays, which allows for greater e...

97 / 89 MBps best read/write performance, System software is SOTA and continually updated, Support Apps available for multiple cloud services, Support App available for Mobile access, VMware Ready iSCSI for virtualization deployments, Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Level Migration, Hotswap RAID storage, Dual Gigabit Ethernet with teaming and failover, RAID 0/1/5/6/10/JBOD disk config
Write speeds in RAID 5 still limited by the installed computing power, USB 3.0 ports not included, only USB 2.0, A few advanced capabilities will be too daunting for a novice SOHO user, Many consumer HDDs not suitable for RAID, and enterprise units are $$$
