Product description Built as a high-performance and budget-friendly storage solution for SMBs, the TVS-951X 9-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP features a hybrid drive bay design with five 3.5" SATA III drive bays and four 2.5" SATA III drive bays. When 2.5" SSDs are installed in their dedicated bays, you can enable SSD caching and Qtier auto-tiering technologies to boost overall system performance.
The TVS-951X is powered by a 1.8 GHz Intel Celeron 3865U Dual-Core processor and 2GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM in a 1 x 2GB configuration. The memory can be upgraded to 32GB by using one 16GB module in each of the two SO-DIMM slots, and network connectivity is achieved using one 10 Gigabit Ethernet port and one Gigabit Ethernet port. When connected via the 10GbE port, data can be read at speeds up to 779 MB/s and written at speeds up to 739 MB/s. When transferring files with encryption, read speeds can reach 720 MB/s and write speeds max out at 363 MB/s.
Use the three 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports to connect this QNAP NAS to other devices, allowing you to easily transfer large media files and expand NAS storage. Users can also take advantage of the HDMI 1.4b output to watch 4K media files on their HDTV, or stream to compatible devices using Plex. To aid in this, the TVS-951X supports hardware decoding and real-time transcoding, and resolutions are supported up to 4096 x 2304 at 24 Hz. Additionally, the this NAS is validated with AES-NI and FIPS 140-2 AES 256-bit encryption, helping to prevent sensitive business data from unauthorized access and breaches.
