QNAP is one of the most famous manufacturers of NAS devices, and recently in our market can find virtually all of these companies offer.

How otherwise and is the perfect network player there, and always has something that can be improved further.

QNAP NMP-1000
NMP-1000 is more or less standard size for this category of device, with a basis of 204x176.4 mm and a height of 62mm. The casing is made from high quality plastic, which is definitely taken from the NAS device for the company, this time in combination of black and dark gray matte finish. On the front there is a LCD display that is hidden behind transparent plastic and which can not be seen until the device turns on. There are three buttons above, Powe, Menu and OK but we believe that most users rely on the excellent remote control, which admittedly is a bit oddly spaced keys, but it is extremely good, and the most important keys in the dark light. From the side of the player and the hole that serves as a dock for the hard disk drive that is installed there, and the process is very simple, the hard drive is placed into a plastic tray that is then easily inserted inside. By default, the file system is NTFS, but also supports FAT32 and EXT3. As far as discs, can be used 3.5 "SATA models with a capacity of 2TB.
QNAP NMP-1000 connectors on rear and front, inside
The back of the connectors are strong, than the power (adapter supplied in the box), LAN (Gigabit), eSATA and USB connection to PC or another external drive, and component, composite, S-Video and HDMI video and RCA stereo, optical and coaxial S / PDIF audio connector. It should be noted that the package does not get an HDMI cable that will need to purchase separately. This device can be used with the most basic functions as a NAS (ie the drive can be accessed directly from the network), the File and FTP server functionality and support for BitTorrent client (torrent files can be removed without a power-up). Supported an impressive variety of multimedia formats, and you should immediately say that NMP-1000 all read quickly and without chopping including full HD video, and all our attempts to slow him down failed. Subtitles are considered as our characters, and it is good that the font size can be selected. The interface is pretty fast and easy to operate, and what draws attention is the support for certain Internet services like YouTube clips, Flickr photo galleries, trailers Apple, Internet radio and weather.
Summary
We're liked the fact that there are LAN, USB and eSATA connectors for connection to a computer and adding external drives, but keep in mind one thing, the transfer speed of this device are not impressive. The fastest of course go through eSATA interface, while USB and LAN behind a lot and will say to copy a DVD may take up to 20 minutes (download). This however should not necessarily be such a big disadvantage, since the main role of the device still work with multimedia files, and NMP-1000 for this gets very high marks earned. Price is not small, but the market is difficult to find a device that incorporates so many features and this works well.
