Introduction

First things first, I'd like to thank QNAP for supplying us with the QNAP TS-109 Pro Turbostation.

The QNAP TS-109 Pro Turbostation is a NAS device aimed at home use. It comes packed with many features to replace the average home server while being small and using little power. While aimed to be a storage server (datastorage, web, database) the TS-109 also has features like a DHCP server and printer sharing. The TS-109 doesn't come with a harddisk though, you have to add one yourself. Main storage comes from normal 3.5" SATA disks though you can add an eSATA disk and up to three USB drives (without using hubs). These expansion options make the TS-109 a long term investment.
