On hand is the new QNAP TS-431 budget NAS offering home users 4-bay storage at an affordable price. Although this is a budget orientated NAS the TS-431 still has plenty to offer users in the way of features and performance...

Back in July 2014 we got our first look at the QNAP TS-x51 series when we checked out the TS-451, the 4-bay model. Powered using an Intel Celeron J1800 "Bay Trail-D" (22 nm) SoC, this NAS offered Full HD transcode support making it the ultimate home theater solution. The TS-451 impressed us immensely with its strong performance and surprisingly affordable $450 price tag.
