Final thoughts and rating
QNAP has come out all guns blazing with the TS-259 Pro+ Turbo NAS, and the end result is impressive.
Read and write performance is excellent across the board, and QNAP's extensive feature set is second to none. Coupled with a user interface that feels intuitive and streamlined, it makes for a compelling NAS package with only one notable drawback; price.
Fetching £475 at retail, the TS-259 Pro+ is one of the most expensive two-bay NAS solutions on the market and will likely appeal only to those who require its high-end business features.
For everyone else, the Synology DiskStation DS210+ consolidates performance and features to meet a more realistic £275 price tag.
The Good
Excellent read and write performance
Easy-to-use interface
Feature packed
The Bad
One of the most expensive two-bay NAS solutions on the market
