High performance and advanced RAID redundancy
QNAP TS-409 Pro is a 4-bay, hot-swappable, Linux embedded All-in-one NAS (Network Attached Storage) Server specifically designed for business users who need fast performance, mass storage, and useful server features. Adopting 500MHz CPU and 256MB DDRII large-sized memory, it fully enhances the performance and breaks through the deficiencies of other traditional NAS models. Advanced RAID configurations for non-stop service are also supported. RAID 5 is a widely adopted configuration for highly economic data protection that allows one drive failure with the system running. RAID 6 allows the failure of maximum two drives to offer business a more advanced data protection.
