QNAP Updates Their NAS Boxes to Play Nicely With Consoles

We have reported on the very cool NAS devices that QNAP has been producing in the past and it looks like they have added a major piece to their offerings. They have updated the firmware for two of their new NAS devices; the TS-109 and TS-209. They have added DLNA support( Digital Living Network Alliance ) so that their NAS boxes can be used to serve up content to the any device on the network able to handle DLNA.

The really cool thing is that they really are aiming at the newest generation of gaming consoles since they all support DLNA. Now their NAS devices appeal to a much broader base of consumers. There are a lot of people out there that love their Xbox 360 and PS3 not only for the games that it allows them to play, but for acting as the center of their digital media universe. Having NAS devices able to serve up content for these devices makes the prospect of not needing another device to handle the media streaming all the more promising.

We hope to get the TS-109 in house soon so we can try this out and see how it performs.
