Synology recently released multitasking operating software and QNAP have recently updated their own software package to offer a more responsive user interface while splitting all functionality into easily understood sub categories.

We browsed to the IP of the NAS unit, and were immediately greeted with a welcoming configuration interface.

The software package guides the user through all the necessary main stages to configure the NAS system. All of these settings can be changed later.

The TS-259 Pro+ supports single drive configurations, Raid 0 and Raid 1 and JBOD linear disk volumes to cover all dual drive requirements and demands. Once we are happy with the final setup choices we can quickly overview the listing before formatting the installed disks.

The main panel is a very stylishly designed piece of software with an Apple Macintosh ‘dock' feel about it. There are many quick ways to access the support forums and to talk directly to customer service, but most of the functionality is handled by the main administration panel.
