QNAP has been around since 2004 which may not sound an extremely long time at all, but in their time spent inside the networking sector they?ve made inroads into a rather competitive arena. Their current portfolio includes a large selection of network-related devices for enterprise, SMB, Home and SOHO users. This is actually our first outing with QNAP and after hearing good things about the brand we?re anticipating good things today.

Today we'll be taking a look at what QNAP has to offer in the TS-251 and TS-451 ? two NAS units which are designed to cater for Home and SOHO users. Both products utilise 2.41GHz dual-core processors and DDR3 memory on the hardware-side and take advantage of the new QTS 4.2 OS on the software-side.
