DNS-323 vs. QNAP TS-209

D-Link has 500 Mhz Marvell 88F5181.
QNAP has 500 MHz Marvell 5182.

QNAP has Web Server with PHP and MySQL built in and even has step by step instructions for setting up phpbb as a forum on their nas.

You would think that the cpu in the DNS-323 would be robust enough to handle PHP and MySQL, unless the Marvel 5182 is that much better than the 88F5181.

This is what makes the big difference:

Re: DNS-323 vs. QNAP TS-209

Very interesting model... I hope that QNAP TS-209 will don't have so much problem with stability and firmware. Info here: http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=82
P.s. i hope that this model will have unix system like DNS-323, and it will be no problem to optimize fun plug to it

Remote login your TS-209 Pro by SSH (secure shell) or Telnet connection.
TELNET CONNECTION BUILT IN!! Also support ftp http and bittorent downloads!!! bandwidth control!!!! EXT3!! One touch USB auto copy!!!SOUNDS FANTASTIC!

Re: DNS-323 vs. QNAP TS-209

My choice was a CH3SNAS (its the same as the DNS323), only because the price of the CH3SNAS was 140 Euro and the TS-201 (not the new TS-209) was 320 Euro. The DNS323 has not all built in, but you can install the most with fun plug. (Of course not the 1 touch copy button wink )

The QNAP NAS is a ready to use station, all you would like is built in. But than I would prefer a ALL6500, nearly the same price, but full Debian firmware, means that you can install all the neat linux things (let the NAS run as a really server or media center or ...)

Btw: my DNS323 is a littler bit slow to convert and stream media data (and the QNAP has nearly the same technical data)

Re: DNS-323 vs. QNAP TS-209

Yep, price is an issue.

I have found the TS-209 Pro for $US 429 and the non-pro for $379. 
For $50 the Pro adds Active Directory tie in and Linux NFS and AppleTalk protocols.

The Synology DS-207 also has Apache and MySQL built in but is closer in price to the D-Link.  It has less hardware than the QNAP.

Pricewise, I like the D-Link, but I really want a good webserver with database and I am concerned that the DNS-323 can't handle it.  Also the TS-209 and DS-207 have Apache and MySQL presetup.

I might add that I already have the DNS-323, but haven't opened the box yet because I thought that I might have to sell it to get the QNAP or Synology.

Re: DNS-323 vs. QNAP TS-209

I wouldn't mind the active directory - that's a nice feature to have on a NAS in a Windows environment - I wonder how difficult it would be to add through the fun_plug.

And since I'm posting let me ask the question that I've been itching to ask from day 1 - this is a cheap NAS box, with just enough resources to do what it's designed to do - be a NAS server.

If web and database are important to you, buy one or build one,

I thougth of that, but I like the tiny form factor and power requirements of the NAS boxes.  This is meant to be up and running 24/7.  Otherwise I would just use one of my spare tower boxes with its 300-500 watt power supply.
