Product information

Pros and cons

According to our NAS expert

  • Thanks to link aggregation, you can combine network cables for a higher throughput speed.
  • Thanks to the Quad-Core processor, the NAS can handle more demanding tasks than a Dual-Core processor can.
  • You can easily create backups with a single push of the Instant Backup button.
  • With 1GB of RAM, the NAS isn't suitable for demanding tasks like transcoding videos.
  • The NAS doesn't have an HDMI port to directly connect it to your TV or monitor.

Interesting device, especially considering the price.

  • (probably) simple installation
  • Good software
  • Fairly quiet
I already had a qNap before I bought it, but it was defective. However, the disks do not. My first step was to just stab the discs. The TS-231P2 booted up but was not seen on the network. Only after I removed the disks and rebooted did the device get an IP address. Then I put the drives back in. I got a message that the disks had already been used in a qNap and whether I wanted to save the data. Of course I said yes. The installation seemed to start, but after a long time still nothing had happened. Finally I was able to update the Firmware, and the drives were reinitialized. No more data, but luckily I had a backup. After that, the installation went smoothly. I suspect that with new disks the installation would have been very simple. For its price, the TS-231P2 is very interesting. Certainly not only suitable for Backup. I use it for Streaming via a Sonos One, and also via Kodi on a PC that is connected to my TV. I don't notice any delays or hitches

Great product

  • Simple installation, to do for me as a layman.
  • Does exactly what I expected it to do.
  • At first, the software did not want to install, afterwards seemed to have to do with an update exactly that day.
Just works well, both in the house on the WiFi or remotely easy to operate and set up. For me as a layman certainly a stroke of luck.
