QNAP TS-832PX NAS With 10GbE port and two 2.5 GbE ports

QNAP Systems announced the release of the TS-832PX Network Attached Storage. This NAS device is built on the AnnapurnaLabs Alpine AL324 (Arm Cortex-A57) quad-core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz. The processor has 4 GB of DDR4 RAM in the form of a SO-DIMM module. It is possible to increase the amount of RAM up to 16 GB by replacing the module.

The NAS case has eight drive bays for 3.5” or 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s drives and Hot swap is also supported. The advantages of NAS systems include the presence of a 10 GbE port and two 2.5 GbE ports. In addition, the NAS device includes three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. It is possible to install an expansion card, for which there is a PIe Gen2 x2 slot.

However, the manufacturer warns that adding an expansion card will negatively affect the speed of the 10 GbE port since it will be allocated a portion of the PCIe bus bandwidth. The available expansion cards include a 5 GbE / 2.5 GbE network adapter, a QXP-W6-AX200 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless adapter, and a QXP-10G2U3A USB 3.2 Gen 2 controller.

With dimensions of 188.2 × 329.3 × 280.8 mm, the NAS weighs 6.38 kg without drives. The app-driven operating system of the TS-832PX provides many solutions for various business needs. HybridMount and VJBOD Cloud provides file-based and block-based cloud gateways for cloud storage; QVR Pro provides a professional-quality surveillance solution; and HBS features backup, restoration, and synchronization tools to ensure that your data is well preserved.

Also featured is the Notification Center, which centralizes all system alerts and warnings for simplified administration tasks, and a Security Counselor which features anti-malware scanning and provides advice for strengthening your security settings.
