For CES 2017, QNAP announced several new NASes ranging from personal to enterprise designs. But the company also waded into the wireless router market with its TGX-150.
QNAP calls it a NAS, but with Gigabit WAN (1) and LAN (4) ports and built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi access point, you could be forgiven for thinking of it as a Wi-Fi router with a single 2.5" drive bay for hard drive or SSD storage. The TGX-150 runs on an Intel AnyWAN GRX750 dual-core (up to 2.5 GHz) NPU with 2 GB of DDR3 RAM, 512 MB of flash memory and one each USB 3.0 Type A and Type C ports.
The QNAP TVS-882BR is an 8-bay NAS with an expansion bay suited for one 5.25” or two slim sized optical drives. This new NAS is available in four different Intel powered sub-models, including TVS-882BRs with Core i3/8 GB RAM, Core i5/16 GB RAM, Core i7/32 GB RAM, or Core i7/64 GB RAM configurations. Additional interfaces include five USB 3.0 ports, four GbE ports and three HDMI interfaces. Two M.2 slots are also available for additional SATA storage, while three PCIe Gen 3 expansions slots can be used for additional networking, controllers, or NVMe SSDs.
QNAP’s new enterprise-class NAS, the TS-1685, gives businesses plenty of space with its twelve 3.5”bays, four 2.5” bays, and six M.2 slots. For networking, the TS-1685 also includes four GbE ports, two 10Gbe ports and, if needed it also has three PCIe expansion slots that can support additional network cards, as well as storage, graphics or USB 3.1 expansion cards.
TS-1685 can get its horsepower from several supported Intel Xeon D processors and can handle up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory.
The TS-1685 runs QTS 4.3 and supports a variety of enterprise-class applications, including Qtier for SSD caches acceleration, virtualization and containerization for applications, centralized management of other QNAP NAS devices, and snapshots for data protection.
