If you happen to have a NAS unit that is 3 years or older, it is about time to start looking for an upgrade. Not necessary because you need the additional performance from the newer processor upgrade (though it never hurts) but rather, newer NAS devices are equipped with faster 2.5 gigabit ethernet port (2.g GbE) as standard than the gigabit ethernet port found in older models. As network transfer speed is often the slowest component in any NAS, the upgrade would be the most significant performance boost that you would notice. QNAP has a wide range affordable network products ranges from switches, network cards, and routers that provides a one-stop-shop for anyone who is looking to upgrade to a 2.5GbE. And the latest family of consumer and small business NAS, the TS-x35D family, is just the forward looking device that would not only satisfy your current storage need but also is ready for the future.
