| Marketing description |
| Equipped with AMD Ryzen V1000 series V1500B quad-core processor and 10GbE/2.5GbE connectivity, 9-bay TS-h973AX combines a high-capacity hybrid storage system in a compact chassis. With five 3.5-inch SATA 6Gbps drive bays, two 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe SSD slots and two 2.5-inch SATA 6Gbps SSD slots, TS-h973AX can take advantage of SSD caching to accelerate IOPS-intensive applications. With the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system, TS-h973AX ensures data integrity and supports block-level inline deduplication and data compression, nearly unlimited snapshots and real-time SnapSync, to meet the demands of mission-critical file servers, virtualization servers, collaborative video editing and efficient data backup and recovery, with performance, reliability and lower total cost for business-class use. |
| Product features |
-
Absolute performance with AMD Ryzen and up to 32 GB RAM
Powered by AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 series V1500B 4-core/8-thread, 2.2 GHz processor, TS-h973AX delivers aggressive yet energy-efficient performance for computationally demanding applications. AES-NI encryption support boosts encryption performance while preserving the security of your NAS data. SSD drives can be installed flexibly for cache acceleration to maximize network and disk performance in data-intensive applications.
-
Two U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSD slots for optimal I/O and low latency
TS-h973AX has four 2.5-inch SSD slots; slots 1 and 2 support both high-performance U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSDs and cost-effective SATA 6Gb/s SSDs. For latency-sensitive applications, you can use U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSDs, which deliver up to 32Gb/s bandwidth for optimized performance and efficiency. You can also use the QNAP QDA-UMP adapter to replace U.2 NVMe SSDs with cost-effective M.2 NVMe Gen 3 x4 SSDs, maintaining high performance while saving costs.
