The inclusion of the ARM processor shows that QNAP does not intend the TS-233 to be a workhorse, it is geared more towards simple storage and basic tasks. Although the drives are hot-swappable, having to remove a screw from the bottom and exposing the device's innards seems like more of a risk than simply shutting it down. This makes the device look a lot nicer, as well as adds protection from someone accidentally (or on purpose!) removing a drive from the NAS, but it also means you have to remove the cover when you replace the drive. The second thing you'll realize is that there's no direct access to the drive bays. In addition, it's not glossy, so it doesn't attract fingerprints or cat fur, which is handy if you have pets. Many people won't care, since server devices frequently get hidden in a closet somewhere, but for those who keep their electronics on display, the TS-233 just looks nice. In a world where most of the devices I've reviewed are a plain black box, this was a welcome change of pace. The first thing you'll notice is that the device is a stark white with a sleek carbon fiber-like black stripe on the front.
