QNAP Core 2 Duo based TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS

Yummie ... recently we reported about the QNAP's 4-bay TS-439 Pro Turbo NAS, which was perfectly fine for the average home-based storage junkie, small businesses need something with a bit more potential.

Meet the TS-809 Pro Turbo, an 8-bay behemoth capable of housing 8 SATA hard drives (up to 16TB, or .98 million copies of Friday the 13th, when 2TB HDDs are widely available). The unit gets powered by a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, which definitely means that your next NAS may posses more processing power than the antiquated PC it's connected to.

Additionally, there's 2GB of DDR2 RAM, read / write rates of 126MB/s and 111Mb/s (respectively), and support for a litany of business-related advanced features.

Equipped with eight 640GB HDDs the unit would consume roughly 81W. No word on pricing, I think it's safe to say it won't be cheap.
