QNAP Systems today announced a 5-bay RAID NAS for SMB and Enterprise users.

The TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS supports single disk, JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 5, 5+ Hot spare and 6 modes as well as online RAID capacity expansion and level migration. Five drive bays support hot-swappable SATA drives up to 1 TB for a total capacity of 5 TB.

The NAS is powered by an Intel Celeron 1.6GHz CPU with 1GB of DDRII memory. Dual gigabit LAN ports can be configured for failover, load balancing, or serving two different subnets. Other features include an LCD status panel, schedulable power on/off, Wake on LAN and S.M.A.R.T. drive reporting.

Serving features include CIFS/SMB, AFP and NFS filesystems, FTP (including secure FTP) and USB printer. The HTTP service includes MySQL and SQLite databases, an editable php.ini, phpMyAdmin for database administration and the Joomla content management system.

Media serving features include a TwonkyMedia server for UPnP/DLNA media streaming and iTunes server. There is also a built-in download agent for HTTP, FTP, and BitTorrent files.

The TS-509 Pro will be available later this month, priced at $899 MSRP.
