QNAP TS-332X 2GB 3-bay NAS

QNAP's TS-332X-2G desktop NAS is a secure, efficient storage solution for your data. Unlike the usual external hard drives, the NAS (network-attached storage) device can be directly integrated into your network. This gives all computers connected to your network access to the device and data. It offers you over enough storage space and requires far less electricity than regular PCs. The desktop NAS device and is equipped with an ARM Cortex A57 4-core 1.7 GHz processor. Several users can access data at the same time thanks to the 2 GB of RAM. The following data storage forms are available for this desktop NAS system: 0, 1, 5 and JBOD. Using a JBOD architecture to create a multi-disk storage space means you can combine hard drives of random sizes and will not lose the storage capacity of any of them. This is not the case with RAID levels.

When using RAID 0, hard drives (ideally of equal storage capacities) are interconnected and work in parallel — this means a higher, faster performance as computer tasks are not handled by just one drive. However, there is no fault tolerance because data is not mirrored, which means this RAID level is better suited for high speed storage of large volumes of data. Using RAID 1 means you get high data security. This is achieved by mirroring, which simply means that your data is duplicated from one drive to another, so that if one fails, nothing is lost. This also means that the total storage capacity of your drives will be halved. RAID 1 is best suited for smaller NAS systems. RAID 5 stores your data on multiple drives, which gives you high data security. If a drive begins to fail, the data it holds will be recreated and distributed to the other drives allowing users to continue working uninterrupted. For larger NAS systems with more than three hard drives RAID 5 is the ideal choice to retain optimal data security and total drive storage capacity.
