High-speed networking for shared storage
Two 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports provide built-in options for higher-bandwidth file sharing and team collaboration. The 2.5GbE ports support 2.5G, 1G, 100M and 10M speeds.
- Wake on LAN is supported through the 2.5GbE ports only.
- Jumbo Frame support is included.
- The supplied information also references optional QNAP 10GbE, 5GbE and 2.5GbE expansion options.
Backup, synchronisation and data protection
The supplied product information lists Hybrid Backup Sync for backup and synchronisation, Boxafe for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 enterprise accounts, and snapshot protection for recovery from accidental deletion and malware attacks.
- Hybrid Backup Sync supports backup and synchronisation to other NAS devices, servers and cloud storage.
- Boxafe is listed for emails, cloud drives, contacts and calendars.
- Snapshots record system status and data for protection and recovery.
PCIe and storage expansion
One PCIe Gen 2 x2 slot supports a compatible QNAP expansion card for additional networking, SSD caching capabilities or wireless connectivity. Capacity can be expanded with supplied QNAP TR RAID expansion enclosures or TL JBOD units, and cloud gateway support is listed for hybrid-cloud workflows.
- Optional M.2 support is available through a PCIe adapter.
- The supplied specification warns that PCIe bandwidth limitations will restrict NAS 10GbE performance.
- Four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports are included.
Supplied SMB signing acceleration results
The source states that QTS 5.1.0 supports AES-128-GMAC acceleration for SMB 3.1.1 signing. In the supplied CrystalDiskMark 1MB read test, the TS-1232PXU-RP-4G recorded 68 MB/s with AES-CMAC and 738 MB/s with AES-128-GMAC.
- Client: Windows Server 2022, AMD EPYC 7232P 3.0GHz, 128GB DDR4 and 10GbE NICs.
- NAS test storage: Samsung 860 PRO 512GB drives in RAID 5.
- QTS 5.1.0 was used for GMAC and QTS 5.0.1 for CMAC.
Important buying and deployment notes
- The product name identifies this NAS as supplied without disks; compatible drives are required.
- Use only QNAP memory modules to maintain system performance and stability.
- The PCIe Gen 2 x2 bandwidth limitation may restrict performance from an added 10GbE card.
- Supplied benchmark figures depend on the listed test environment and should not be treated as universal performance.
