The TS-230’s write speed of 72MBps was a bit faster than the TerraMaster F2-210, but the DS-220j beat it by 12MBps. The TS-230 turned in decent results on these tests, but it couldn’t keep pace with our Editors’ Choice for affordable two-bay NAS drives, the Synology Diskstation DS-220j. To test NAS performance, we use a 4.9GB folder containing a mix of music, video, photo, and office document files to measure read and write performance.

The TS-233 provided solid file transfer scores in our testing: Its score of 87MBps on the write test was identical to that of the Synology DiskStation DS220j and 17MBps faster than the TerraMaster F2-210 (70MBps). To measure NAS read and write performance (file transfer performance), we move a 4.9GB folder containing a mix of music, video, photo, and office document files from the NAS to a connected desktop system and back again. It took almost 12 hours for the drives to synchronize, at which point the TS-233 was ready for file transfer testing.

Next, I launched the QTS management console and created a volume and a storage pool with a RAID 1 configuration, which yielded a total storage capacity of 9.02TB. I gave the NAS a name, created a password, and used DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.Īfter several minutes, the drives were initialized and the NAS restarted. I clicked on the drive’s entry in the utility and clicked Start Smart Installation. When I opened the utility, the TS-233 was instantly recognized.

I powered up the NAS, and downloaded the QNAP Qfinder Pro utility. I started by installing two 10TB Seagate Ironwolf drives and connecting the NAS to my network using the included LAN cable. Testing the QNAP TS-233: Plenty of Speed for Home UseĪs with other QNAP NAS devices, the TS-233 was easy to install. To protect your data from malware, tap the Malware Remover icon to create scanning schedules and view event logs. To schedule Snapshots, tap the Storage and Snapshot icon, which opens a screen where you can also manage storage pools and check disk health. (The last is for performing data backups to and from an external USB drive.)

You'll also find a power button, a USB 3.2 port, and a One-Touch Copy button. The enclosure measures 7.4 by 3.5 by 6.1 inches (HWD), and the front sports LED indicators for system status, LAN activity, drive activity, and USB One-Touch Copy activity. The TS-233 uses the same chassis as the TS-230 that we reviewed last year, but instead of a baby-blue finish, this model comes in white.

It was a snappy performer in testing and proved easy to install, but it lacks multi-gigabit connectivity and doesn’t offer quite as many apps as our Editors’ Choice pick for two-bay NAS drives, the Asustor Drivestor 2 AS1102T. Small and stylish, this NAS offers a number of QNAP and third-party applications for storing and organizing photos, music, video, and other multimedia files. The QNAP TS-233 ($199) is a reasonably priced two-bay network attached storage (NAS) device designed for home users who want to store and share data in their own private cloud.
