Eight-core processing and expandable memory

The Intel Atom C5125 processor provides eight cores at 2.8GHz. The NAS includes 8GB non-ECC SODIMM DDR4 memory and supports up to 64GB using two 32GB modules.

ECC memory is supported. For dual-DIMM configurations, use a pair of identical modules.

  • AES-NI encryption is listed in the specification.
  • Intel QuickAssist Technology is described for compression and IPsec/SSL cryptography workloads.
  • The listed maximum concurrent CIFS connection figure is 2,000 with maximum memory.

Dual 2.5GbE, M.2 NVMe and PCIe expansion

Two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports support 2.5G, 1G, 100M and 10M speeds, with Port Trunking and network fault tolerance described in the product information.

Two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots support compatible NVMe SSDs, while two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots can add faster networking, QM2 or Fibre Channel connectivity.

  • Optional 5GbE, 10GbE or 25GbE adapters are supported.
  • Wake on LAN is supported through the 2.5GbE ports.
  • M.2 SSD hot swapping is not supported.

Virtualisation and scalable storage

The product information lists centralised virtualisation storage, virtual machines, containerised applications and SR-IOV support.

Compatible TL-R1620Sep-RP and TL-R1220Sep-RP JBOD units can add capacity for up to 48 additional drives.

  • QTS is installed as standard and can be switched to QuTS hero.
  • The lifecycle statement describes planned availability and support through 2030.
  • The chassis depth is 297.4mm for compact rack deployment.

Redundant power for system availability

Two 300W redundant power supply units with 100-240V input are included.

The redundant design helps maintain system operation if one power supply becomes unavailable.

  • Three 60mm system fans are listed.
  • The listed disk-standby consumption is 54.331W.
  • The listed typical operating consumption is 78.73W with drives fully populated.

Important purchasing and deployment notes

  • The NAS is supplied without storage drives; compatible hard drives or solid state drives must be purchased separately.
  • M.2 SSD hot swapping is not supported, and optional faster networking requires compatible PCIe hardware.
  • Use a pair of identical DDR4 modules for dual-DIMM memory configurations.
  • Review storage and operating-system requirements before switching between QTS and QuTS hero.
