Overview

TS-230: Your personal multimedia cloud

Powered by a quad-core Realtek RTD1296 processor, the QNAP TS-230 offers home users multiple features including snapshot-based backup, file synchronization, and private cloud services. The TS-230 is also a home entertainment centre for streaming photos, music and videos to multiple devices either locally or over the internet.

Compact and powerful


The TS-230 features a Quad-Core Realtek RTD1296 processor at 1.4 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, and a 1GbE network port to deliver transfer performance of up to 113 MB/s. If you choose to encrypt your files with AES-256 bit encryption, performance is still at 113MB/s - so you can ensure your privacy without sacrificing performance.

Real-time 4K Transcoding

The TS-230 supports 4K (H.264) hardware decoding and real-time transcoding, allowing you to convert videos into universal file formats that can be played back smoothly on multiple devices. Therefore, you can easily share movies or travel videos recorded on your NAS with your family and friends through shared links, so they can watch videos anytime and anywhere.

Securely connect remotely

No matter where you are, myQNAPcloud allows you to be always connected to your TS-230 at home via the Internet using a unique domain name. It becomes easy and convenient to access, manage and share NAS data. In addition, myQNAPcloud ensures the security of the remote access service with 2048-bit SSL keys.

Advanced Photo Management

QuMagie brings you a whole new experience in photo management. By integrating the QuMagie Core AI deep learning algorithm, QuMagie enables facial recognition, object identification, and geolocation of photos on your NAS. Similar photos are sorted into albums (including people, things and places).

    Qnap TS-230

    The NAS is exactly as described in the product.
    The installation and configuration is easy to get started. Wait for the installation (automatic, for example).
    In case you have to start from the beginning (complete reset): Once you have stopped completely remove the disks and format them with another machine.
    To make a Cloud-like drive (access from outside): as for everything, a good security is essential (for my part, the day of the installation, I had attempts to connect to the FTP from Russia and the USA).

    Good value for money.

    A perfect little NAS to use as a backup and a shared family media server (with Plex).
    Quick and easy to use.

    A very respectable Nas!

    I've had this Qnap TS-230 in my hands for a few months now. It is perfectly suitable for private use (which is why I bought it), although all Qnap features are accessible, but limited by the 2 bays.
    As far as read/write speeds are concerned, meets the specifications well.
    I didn't get it for its aesthetics, but the quality of the plastic is acceptable. Sound wise, it's pretty quiet, depending on the discs mounted.
    As they say, "Does the job well!
    Also recommended for your first NAS.

    confusion and energy management

    Simple use as a file server and backup (no raid and other. only two large disks accessible from all devices in the house). Only clients under linux in 'samba' protocol.

    It works but :

    - Too many applications that do more or less the same thing (backup for example), unclear documentation, too many menus. A lot of waste of time for simple needs. Many useless applications.
    - Questionable power management. Even if I try hard to optimize the settings, by deleting the indexing-multimedia, my disks start up very often while not being used by the clients. I have to say that I'm not sure what to do with my computer, but I'm not sure what to do with my computer, so I'm not sure what to do with my computer.

    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for the price.

    Very disappointed

    I was disappointed with the model which does not allow me to encrypt shared folders. I contacted the technical support who did not give any answer to my request and who, after having put me on hold, closed the ticket without having resolved anything...
    NAS replaced by a synology...
