QNAP TS-659 Pro got great review by Recorder.dk in Denmark (2010/01/29)
QNAP has again impressed and surprised us from our review. What strikes me is that we have managed to increase read and write speeds, without increasing power consumption. Actually it has reduced power consumption by more than 20%, and increased especially write speeds to something you only experience in Formula 1 class. ... Looking overall at the new user interface, everything is easy to go to and it is understandable. Danish is available at any point types, so Mr and Mrs Jensen can easily follow. ... We must say: You have taken us off-guard QNAP TS-659 Pro is our new reference on this page. It has the warmest recommendations here.
