Quad-core processor delivers high performance
Equipped with an AnnapurnaLabs, an Amazon company Alpine AL-314 quad-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A15 processor, 1GB/4GB DDR3 RAM (expandable to 8GB), the TS-231P2 is a high-performance NAS for home, workgroups and SOHO users providing outstanding performance of up to 209 MB/s read & 157 MB/s write throughput. With AES 256-bit full NAS volume encryption, the TS-231P2 provides transfer speeds of over 157 MB/s, boosting system performance and security while ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive personal data stored in the NAS. When used with a compatible 802.11ac or dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11n USB Wi-Fi adapter, the TS-231P2 becomes an ideal media center with remarkably high speeds for transferring a large amount of files and streaming bandwidth-intensive multimedia.
