Press Release Body: QNAP's recently launched All-in-One, 5-bay TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS

SmallNetBuilder and presented its stable and superior performance in the benchmark
test. "QNAP has gone all out to make its five-drive NAS a top performer.TS-509 Pro
sets new performance highs", summarized in the review article. The benchmark test
measures the average file system performance of the NAS at Ethernet connection speed
under linear array and RAID 5 mode. The results show that QNAP's TS-509 Pro

The TS-509 Pro is designed for small business to enterprise users who require
performance, features, capacity, and manageability. "We aimed at providing a really
good solution for business users to meet their storage and file sharing demand. At
the same time, the file transfer performance is the key to business productivity
enhancement. We believe the TS-509 Pro is the answer to these requirements", said
Jeffrey Chen, QNAP's Quality Assurance Manager. "According to the NetBench test
results in QNAP lab, the TS-509 Pro is 3 to 10 times faster than all the other NAS
at the same level. Our NAS is able to provide steadily outstanding performance
during multiple concurrent data access. This reflects the TS-509 Pro\'s capability as
the most ideal file server solution in a business environment."
