Status: Legacy / discontinued
One of QNAP's early single-bay NAS units from around 2005-2006, in a fanless aluminum case that stays silent. It has one gigabit port, eSATA and USB for external drives, and Q-RAID 1 to mirror the internal drive to an external one. With a 266 MHz chip and 64 MB of fixed memory it's very basic - fine for simple file sharing, but I'd go newer for anything else.
