Intel Core i5-1235U, up to 4.4GHz.
Fixed memory configuration; not expandable.
M.2 2280 adapters are pre-installed.
Thunderbolt Networking up to 20Gbps.
Connect workstations over Ethernet.
Data integrity and SSD optimisation tools.
Choose supported E1.S SSDs or M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSDs. Each bay has a pre-installed M.2 adapter and a PCIe Gen 3 x2 connection. The NAS supports hot-swapping.
The compact set-top enclosure measures 60 × 215 × 199mm and weighs 2.24kg.
Plan your drives: SSDs are sold separately. E1.S drives must be no thicker than 15mm; M.2 heatsinks must not exceed 4.5mm in height. Check QNAP’s drive compatibility list before purchase.
Use Thunderbolt for a direct workstation connection, or use the 10GBASE-T and 2.5GbE ports for network access.
Thunderbolt connection requirements: QNAP specifies up to 20Gbps for Thunderbolt Networking. Use a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable and a compatible host; Mac connections require macOS 13.5 or later. Third-party Thunderbolt external storage is not supported.
QuTS hero provides ZFS data-integrity features and SSD optimisation, including self-healing and SSD extra over-provisioning.
Deduplication: Inline data deduplication is disabled by default. QNAP recommends leaving it disabled because of this model’s memory limitations.
Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports support 10Gbps connections, alongside one USB 2.0 port. HDMI 1.4b provides output up to 4K at 30Hz, and hardware-accelerated transcoding is supported.
The NAS uses a supplied 120W AC adapter.
