Atoms on the network
QNAP
has released the SS-839 Pro Turbo NAS, which it claims is the world's
smallest 8-bay, Intel Atom network attached storage device.
The gear can hold
eight 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state disks (SSD) and it is targeted at
business users who want high performance, stability, scalability, low noise
and low power consumption.
The SS-839 Pro uses low power Intel Atom N270
1.6GHz CPU, disk on module (DOM) architecture, and 2GB DDRII memory. It can
store up to 4TB and has two eSATA and five USB ports for storage expansion
and external storage backup.
Mostly it is designed to be quiet and save
juice. The power consumption of the NAS with eight hard drives installed is
about 34W, which is almost 60 per cent less than general 8-bay, 3.5-inch
NAS.
It runs with Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX operating systems. No word on
price yet.
