Maximize uptime with hot-swappable E1.S / M.2 SSD
Frontline video production teams are sometimes at risk of project interruptions due to unexpected SSD failures in storage devices. The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable SSDs, along with conditional automatic RAID replacement with spares. If an SSD enters a critical state, the system automatically moves data from the affected drive to a spare in the RAID group, seamlessly integrating it into the existing RAID without the need for RAID rebuilding. This significantly reduces the risk of data loss.

Hot-swappable E1.S SSD: Future-proof storage
The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable E1.S SSDs, providing reliable high-density data transfer with optimal cooling efficiency and making it perfect for accommodating future storage needs.

An optional E1.S to M.2 adapter allows M.2 SSDs to become hot-swappable. This enables replacing SSDs without downtime and enhances system maintenance flexibility.

Seamlessly compatibility
Tested for reliability and seamless integration with QNAP NAS for peak performance.

High-speed and low latency
Up to 70,000 IOPS (4K random write) boosts the efficiency of VFX editing and small file access.

Long-lasting durability
Designed for 24/7 high-intensity read/write workloads with extended lifespan.

5-year warranty
QNAP E1.S SSDs backed by a 5-year limited warranty for long-term reliability and peace of mind.

The warranty is void if the SSD's TBW exceeds the specified product limit.

Power loss protection
Supports PLP (Power Loss Protection) to prevent data loss or corruption during unexpected power outages.

Self-encryption
TCG Opal SED hardware encryption protects confidential files from unauthorized access.

High-performance SSDs. Effective heat dissipation.
Designed with an excellent cooling system, the TBS-h574TX is equipped with dual fans and supports SSD heatsinks (heatsinks sold separately) to effectively enhance heat dissipation during intensive workloads, allowing creators to confidently enjoy the ultimate performance of SSD.

M.2 / E1.S SSD may overheat and suffer decreased performance during high-speed operations. It is recommended to purchase and install heatsinks on SSD controllers to enhance heat dissipation for stable high-speed transfer performance.

Thunderbolt™ 4 direct connection to workstations for higher productivity
The TBS-h574TX has two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports for high-speed data transfer (up to 20Gbps bandwidth). Mac® (including M1 and M2 chip models) or Windows® workstations can directly connect to the TBS-h574TX for fast and smooth real-time video editing, allowing for the transfer of a 1TB 4K video just in 11 minutes.

Notes:
• QNAP Thunderbolt NAS adopts Thunderbolt Networking for peer-to-peer connection, up to 20Gbps.
• Mac® system requirement: macOS 13.5 (or later)
• Connect the TBS-h574TX to your Mac® or Windows® PC with Thunderbolt™ 4 / Thunderbolt™ 3 cables and your connected devices with the Thunderbolt icon
