With its sights set on making network attached storage (NAS) solutions more accessible to the home user, QNAP has expanded its Turbo NAS line with the launch of the Prosumer-orientated TS-410.

The four-bay NAS, pictured below, features a quartet of hot-swappable SATA bays that support both 2.5in and 3.5in drives, giving a maximum theoretical capacity of 8TB.

Designed as an “affordable” solution, the TS-410 sheds the high-end hardware found in QNAP’s enterprise-orientated models in favor of a Marvell 800MHz CPU coupled with 256MB of DDR2 memory.

There’s support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 5+spare and JBOD configurations, and both RAID capacity expansion and online RAID level migration are present. Despite the Prosumer target, the TS-410 also retains a touch of high-end functionality with features such as a built-in iSCSI target service, dual Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, four USB ports and two eSATA ports.

As you’d expect, the unit is DLNA-compliant and provides a host of QNAP goodies – including a built-in media server, download station, photo server and an AJAX-based web interface.

Interested? QNAP has the TS-410 available immediately at a cost of £315.
