Ryzen 4-core/8-thread CPU
AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B processing at 2.2GHz supports demanding storage and virtualisation workloads.
8-bay tower NAS
The QNAP TS-873A-8G is a diskless 8-bay tower NAS powered by an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B 4-core/8-thread 2.2GHz processor, with 8GB DDR4 memory, dual 2.5GbE, two M.2 NVMe slots and two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots.

It is an eight-bay desktop NAS for centralised storage, SSD caching, virtual machines, containers and flexible deployment with QTS or the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system.
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 storage, virtualisation and multi-user workloads.
This configuration includes 8GB SODIMM DDR4 memory and supports up to 64GB using two 32GB modules. ECC memory is supported, and a dual-DIMM configuration requires a pair of identical DDR4 modules.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s bays support compatible 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA solid state drives.
Two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots support compatible NVMe SSDs for SSD cache acceleration and Qtier storage optimisation.
Two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports support 2.5G, 1G and 100M connections. Port trunking can provide transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
Two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots support compatible network, storage, USB, wireless, Fibre Channel or graphics expansion cards.
The supplied product information supports hosting virtual machines and running containerised applications alongside storage services.
The TS-873A-8G supports QTS and can be switched to the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system according to storage and data-protection requirements.
It is a diskless eight-bay tower NAS with an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, dual 2.5GbE, dual M.2 slots and dual PCIe expansion.

The bays support compatible 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA solid state drives.
Yes. It includes two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots for compatible NVMe SSDs used for SSD caching and Qtier.
No. The supplied information states that M.2 SSDs, SSD cache drives and SSDs installed through PCIe expansion slots are not hot-swappable.
It includes two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports supporting 2.5G, 1G and 100M connections, with port trunking up to 5Gbps.
Yes. Optional 5GbE or 10GbE connectivity can be added through a compatible PCIe network adapter.
The TS-873A-8G supports QTS and can be switched to the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system.
Yes. GPU pass-through is supported when a compatible graphics card is installed.
The supplied specifications list a three-year QNAP manufacturer warranty.
