297.4mm short-depth 2U
The compact rackmount chassis supports installations where available cabinet depth is limited.
8-bay 2U short-depth rackmount NAS
The QNAP TS-873AeU-RP-4G is a diskless 8-bay rackmount NAS with an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B 4-core/8-thread 2.2GHz processor, 4GB DDR4, dual 2.5GbE, dual M.2 NVMe slots, PCIe expansion and two 300W power supplies.

It is a compact 297.4mm-deep, 2U NAS for storage, virtual machines, containers, SSD caching and hybrid-cloud deployments that also require redundant power.
Compare NAS types, storage considerations and practical features before selecting your next network storage system.
The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B provides four cores, eight threads and a 2.2GHz clock speed for demanding storage and virtualisation workloads.
This configuration includes 4GB SODIMM DDR4 memory and supports up to 64GB using two 32GB modules. ECC memory is supported.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s bays support compatible 3.5-inch hard drives and 2.5-inch solid state drives.
Two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots support compatible NVMe SSDs using PCIe Gen 3 and above for SSD cache acceleration and storage optimisation.
Two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports support 2.5G, 1G, 100M and 10M connections. Port trunking can provide transfer speeds up to 5Gbps.
One PCIe Gen 3 x8 slot supports compatible networking, QM2, Fibre Channel and graphics cards.
The chassis measures 88.6 × 432 × 297.4mm and is designed for compact racks, smaller media cabinets and installations with extensive cabling.
Two 300W power supply units with 100240V input provide a redundant power design.
It is a diskless eight-bay, 2U short-depth rackmount NAS with AMD Ryzen processing, dual 2.5GbE, M.2 and PCIe expansion, and redundant power.
