AMD Ryzen processing and expandable memory

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.

  • 64-bit x86 architecture with AES-NI encryption support.
  • For a dual-DIMM configuration, use a pair of identical DDR4 modules.
  • Optional hardware-accelerated transcoding is available through a compatible PCIe graphics card.

Eight SATA bays and M.2 NVMe acceleration

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.

  • The system is supplied without hard disk drives.
  • The main drive bays are hot-swappable; M.2 SSD hot swapping is not supported.
  • The supplied description identifies Edge TPU-assisted AI image recognition through the M.2 expansion capability.

Multi-gigabit networking and PCIe expansion

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.

  • Optional 5GbE or 10GbE networking can be added through a compatible adapter.
  • Four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports provide up to 10Gbps connectivity: two Type-A and two Type-C.
  • Wake on LAN is supported through the 2.5GbE ports, and Jumbo Frame support is included.

Short-depth rackmount design with redundant power

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 100–240V input provide a redundant power design.

  • The 297.4mm chassis depth excludes the ear hook and protruding part of the power supply unit.
  • The supplied information supports virtual machines, containers and block- or file-based cloud storage gateways.
  • QTS or QuTS hero can be selected according to deployment requirements.

Important purchasing and deployment notes

  • This NAS is supplied without storage drives.
  • M.2 SSD hot swapping is not supported.
  • For two installed memory modules, use a matched pair of compatible DDR4 modules.
  • Confirm compatibility for drives, memory, expansion cards and rack hardware before purchase.
