Pros and cons

According to our NAS expert

With a Dual-Core processor, the NAS can handle multiple tasks at the same time.
The NAS has room for 4 internal hard drives to store your files extra securely.
With 1GB of RAM, you can work on the NAS with more than 10 users at the same time.
No internal hard drives included, check out our bundles.
The NAS doesn't feature an HDMI port, so it can't be connected directly to your TV or monitor.

Description

With the Qnap TS-431P, you can store all your documents and media files centrally in your own cloud. This NAS has 4 bays for both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard drives and SSDs. The TS-431P has a Dual-Core 1.7Ghz processor and 1GB of RAM, so you can open files with several people at the same time. Because this NAS has 4 bays, you can create multiple RAID arrays to securely store your files. The NAS is equipped with a user-friendly operating system with apps for entertainment, storage, and backup options. This way you can easily stream movies, photos, and music to your smart TV or media player. You can use ChromeCast, DLNA, or Airplay for this, for example. Link aggregation is possible through the dual Ethernet port, which increases the internet speed.

Review is 7,6 out of 10.

Great device as "Cold backup storage".

Easy installation of 2.5 inch HDD/SSD (no need to use bracket)
Supported SSD Cash option
Many options for HDDs (tunning)
If you put in hdd that makes a lot of noise, you will hear it easily.

Well, I'm happy with what I use it for!!!

Review is 8,4 out of 10.

Good, quiet, fast NAS with many features and Apps.

Quiet
2 LAN ports
Fast
Software not clear

After years of experience with the competitor Nas, still opted for this QNap, it is a solid, fast and quiet device. Great to use as a NAS, even for novice users. Extra functions such as The Surveillance Station App was not structured logically for me and was also not compatible with my cameras. The AntiVirus App also did not work as expected. Since I didn't want to puzzle for too long to get everything working, I decided to return the QNap and add a little money, so that I can buy a nas from a, for me, trusted brand with trusted software

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

Great 4-bay entry-level NAS

Extensive software
LACP bond
Too bad that the drive trays are also completely made of plastic

Mainly used by me for Apple time-machine backups and bought to replace an old Mac mini server with an even older Drobo. In some simple tests I get speeds of around 130-140 MB/s with bonding. Only problem was that automatic firmware updates didn't work and gave an FW004 error. After manually updating to 4.3.6.1070, this problem was quickly resolved.
