This from QNAP could be just the thing

The post QNAP TS-431XeU-8G 4-bay Rackmount NAS Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
QNAP's TS-431XeU 1U rackmount NAS sits in the companies SMB product line and has been designed with smaller racks in mind as it has a much shorter depth than standard. It comes with four drive bays, quad-core CPU power and an integrated 10GbE SFP+ port.

With its 291mm depth, QNAP has designed the 4-bay TS-431XeU with the smaller or space constrained office in mind, where a full size rack isn't an option but a smaller unit can be accommodated. Apart from its shallower than standard depth, the other major feature of the NAS is the integrated 10GbE port, but this isn't a standard RJ45 10GbE port but rather a SFP+ one.

Powered by an AnnapurnaLabs Alpine AL-314 32-bit quad-core 1.7GHz, the TS-431XeU uses DDR3-1600 memory and comes off the shelf in two memory configurations; the 2GB TS-431XeU and the system QNAP kindly supplied for this review, the 8GB TS-431XeU. 8GB of memory is the maximum amount that the TS-431XeU's motherboard can support.

QNAP back the TS-431XeU with a two year warranty.
