QNAP

Get fast and reliable network attached storage with the TS-673A 6-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP. Featuring a 2.2 GHz AMD quad-core processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM, this NAS is built for responsive processing and supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, JBOD, and Single modes. Two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports enable fast networking speeds, while six SATA III drive bays accommodate 2.5 or 3.5" SSDs or HDDs. Two M.2 SSD slots are also present, allowing for streamlined performance via SSD caching. Connect accessories via three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, as well as a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. Install various adapter cards via two PCIe 3.0 x4 expansion slots, including an optional entry-level NVIDIA GPU for graphics-heavy virtualization, or a 10 GbE networking card for faster performance. Utilizing AES-NI encryption, this NAS enclosure ensures data security while serving files. A buzzer and Kensington Lock slot also provide physical security measures. Monitor drive activity at a glance using the LED indicator. A 92mm system fan and 60mm CPU fan ensure internals remain cool, while delivering a low noise level of 20.3 dBA. The QNAP TS-673A runs on the QTS 4.5.2 operating system and is compatible with QuTS hero.Dual 2.5GbE Ports Both 2.5GbE ports are backwards compatible with 1GbE/ 100MbE speeds. Up to 5 Gb/s transfer speeds can be achieved by using port trunking.Expansion Ready Add extra functionality with PCIe cards, including 10GbE ports, SSD caching, extra USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, wireless networking, or Fibre Channel adapters. Please note, the TS-673A uses high-profile expansion cards.Supports NVIDIA Graphics Cards Supports entry-level NVIDIA graphics cards for video processing or GPU-passthrough to VMs.Dual M.2 SSD Slots Two M.2 PCIe NVMe slots accommodate SSDs, available separately. Employ Qtier Technology and SSD caching for constant storage optimization.Supports VMs Host containerized applications and virtual machines with various operating systems.QTS Operating System Features QTS operating system and supports switching to ZFS-based QuTS hero for greater reliability.AMD Ryzen Processor The TS-673A features a 2.2 GHz AMD Ryzen V1500B quad-core processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM. Supporting up to 64GB of memory, this enclosure also features USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for speeds up to 10 Gb/s. Furthermore, one USB Type-C port enables fast transfers of large media files across devices, providing you with a more efficient workflow.2.5GbE Switch Transform your network with a wallet-friendly 2.5GbE switch Upgrading your network shouldn't break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1GbE. QNAP offers 2.5GbE switches that support Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T and allows you to use existing Cat 5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS for implementation of high-speed, secure, and scalable network environments without going over budget.Supports QuTS hero The TS-673A also supports QuTS hero, QNAP's ZFS-based NAS operating system. Providing end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression and compaction), and more, QuTS hero uses additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data. Please note, QTS and QuTS hero use different file systems. You must remove all the drives from the TS-673A before switching from QTS to QuTS hero. QuTS hero requires a NAS with at least 8GB of memory, and inline Data Deduplication requires a NAS with at least 16GB memory. For optimal performance, 32GB memory is recommended. It is recommended to create an SSD RAID with at least two SSDs for the QuTS hero system drive to attain optimal system performance. Please note that M.2 SSD hot-swapping is only supported by M.2 SSD slots on PCIe cards (such as the QM2). M.2 SSD slots that are built into the NAS do not support hot-swapping.SSD Caching SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-demanding applicat
