Although severely hindered by both its lack of available apps and limited global availability the brand new XCubeNAS XN5008T NAS Server doesn't only look great (winner of the Japanese Good Design Award) but it offers impressive performance levels especially 10GbE ones.

Although originally NAS servers were used just for file sharing (centralized storage) through the years they've assumed several other roles so currently people also use them to back up their files and/or entire systems, receive/send emails, download files, host web pages, archive and stream media, record video from IP cameras, platform deployment and much more. As a matter of fact thanks to the large number of available applications by some of the leading manufacturers the vast majority of all the NAS servers we've tested to date has been aimed towards both home and small/large office use. However although many people ask more from a NAS server there are always those who may only ask for the basics but they expect excellence. QSAN takes pride in catering to the needs of such users/consumers and today we're testing their mid/high-end XCubeNAS XN5008T SMB model.
