[ad#review1012-top]ThinkComputers has an outstanding appreciation for QNAP’s network attached storage devices. We really liked the TS-109 Pro and TS-209 Pro II, and recommended highly the TS-409U rackmount unit. QNAP’s back with the TS-809 Pro, an eight bay tower NAS with dual Ethernet interfaces, five USB ports, and a serial and VGA port. This beast sports a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, plus a feature new to QNAP’s devices: PC-less installation. ThinkComputers has the review.

Packaging
The QNAP TS-809 Pro has the standard incredibly informational packaging for which QNAP is arguably famous. They have a tendency to smash every little piece of information onto the packaging.
The rear shows benchmarking graphs and more information. A friendly welcome message greets folks when they open the box.
It’s very well packed in dense foam. The package includes the device itself, a power cable (no adapter required!), a network cable, and some documentation. Also included is a CD with newer firmware on it, but there’s an even newer firmware available on QNAP’s web site.
