The TS-101 is a network-attached storage appliance from QNAP Systems Inc. The system is the size of a USB harddrive with a fanless housing.

Out of the box, the TS-101 has the following features:
:*File Server (the storage of large amounts of data on the internal SATA hard disk in the TS-101.)
:*Multimedia Station (a web interface used to manage images, audio or video files, and print or play photos by slide show.)
:*Download Station (a p2p BitTorrent application to download files without using a PC.)
:*Mirror Station (allows you to mirror data in the TS-101 to a USB hard drive or the latest released eSATA hard drive box.)
:*Disaster Recovery (remote disk backup over internet/local network connections to another storage device.)
:*Web Server (serves static web content by default; the latest firmware upgrade supports SQL and PHP.)

:*FTP Server (permits FTP access to the data on the TS-101.)
SlimServer on the TS-101
The box supports SlimServer software, an open source Perl based audio server supported by Slim Devices. This is available as an optional upgrade through some suppliers.
The SlimServer functionality on QNAP TS-101 is an option and there is a support community actively involved in commenting and creating new features/plugins for the QNAP SlimServer solution.
