QNAP’s new Turbo NAS TS-x21 and TS-x20 Series devices are aimed at being powered by the company’s new QTS 4.0 operating system and features one, two or four SATA drive bays.
QNAP has launched the Turbo NAS TSx-20 and TS-x21 series for “home users and home offices” that offer one, two or four SATA drive bays and are powered by the company’s QTS 4.0 Turbo NAS operating system that brings a number of interesting features to the market.
One such feature is Qsync and “smart mobile apps” that allows remote access and sharing of files stored on the server from mobile devices and seamless file synchronization.
