TAIPEI, Taiwan--(Business Wire)--
QNAP Systems, Inc. today announced the world`s first one-bay and two-bay NAS

"The new generation TS-119 and TS-219 Turbo NAS are the most affordable NAS
servers with iSCSI application for personal and business users. The built-in

Laurent Cheng, Product Manager from QNAP. "The built-in UPnP/ DLNA media server
(TwonkyMedia) of the TS-119 and TS-219 supports numerous DLNA media players such
as Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming consoles and High-Definition media
players (compatible with NFS). The users can even use their iPhone and iPod
touch to play the music and video or view the photos on the NAS." 

The TS-119 supports 2TB SATA hard drive and the total storage capacity can be
expanded to maximum 4TB by eSATA or USB storage device expansion. The unique
fanless design enables an absolutely quiet working environment. Its power
consumption is less than 13W which is ideal for operation 24x7 at home or in the
office. The TS-219 is a powerful NAS which supports two hot-swappable hard
drives, up to 4TB storage capacity, RAID 1, Online RAID Capacity Expansion, and
Online RAID Level Migration. The TS-119 and TS-219 come with Turbo NAS beta
