Original Press Release:
QNAP's New Affordable 3-Bay 10GbE NAS: TS-332X Provides 10GbE SFP+ Connectivity, Three M.2 SSD Slots, SSD Caching and Auto-Tiered Storage
Taipei, Taiwan, September 3, 2018 - QNAP® Systems, Inc. today released a new quad-core 3-bay NAS – the TS-332X – that allows for building a RAID 5 array for balancing capacity and protection with the fewest disks. The TS-332X also provides a 10GbE SFP+ port, three M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSD slots, and supports SSD caching and Qtier™ auto-tiering technology to help tackle performance-demanding business operations. Featuring a minimalist design, the affordable 10GbE-ready TS-332X can easily fit any commercial space.
“The TS-332X is a small NAS, but it is packed full of competitive features,“ said Dan Lin, Product Manager of QNAP, continuing “It allows for RAID 5 protection in a budget configuration, supports M.2 SATA SSDs, and performs efficient tiered storage. It is a cost-effective 10GbE NAS that empowers even the most budget-conscious small offices to upgrade their entire IT infrastructure.”
The TS-332X uses an AnnapurnaLabs, an Amazon company Alpine AL-324 quad-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A57 processor, features 2GB/4GB DDR4 RAM (upgradable to 16GB), and comes with a 10GbE SFP+ port to provide compatibility with high-speed networks to empower large-data applications, fast backup/restoration, and containerized applications. The TS-332X sports a stylish and elegant look with an industrial design concept to provide effective airflow and cooling, and its tool-less 3.5-inch hard drive installation allows easier system setup and maintenance.
The TS-332X supports up to three SATA 6Gb/s M.2 SSDs with 2280 form factors (sold separately), allowing users to create a high-capacity SSD cache for boosting IOPS-demanding applications, or RAID 5 tiered storage with balanced performance and redundancy protection. Coupled with QNAP’s Qtier technology that empowers the NAS with auto tiering, storage efficiency is optimized constantly across M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs with improved overall system performance.
The TS-332X runs the intelligent QTS operation system that simplifies NAS management with greater flexibility and efficiency. Block-based snapshots enable comprehensive data protection and instant restoration, providing a modern way for users to effectively mitigate the threat of ransomware. As an all-in-one NAS solution for file storage, backup, sharing, synchronization and centralized management, the TS-332X is a productivity boost for daily tasks. Users can install various apps from the App Center to extend NAS functionalities, such as Container Station for LXC and Docker® containerized applications, QmailAgent to centralize email account management, and QVR Pro to create a professional video surveillance system (with 8 free IP camera channels, and expandable up to 16 channels with optional licenses).
With VJBOD (Virtual JBOD), the unused storage capacity of TS-332X can be mounted using iSCSI as a virtual disk of other QNAP NAS. It is a great benefit for organizations with multiple QNAP NAS and helps achieve optimal capacity utilization in a cost-effective way.
