QNAP Launches Quad-core AMD Ryzen TS-x73A Series NAS

QNAP Launches Quad-core AMD Ryzen TS-x73A Series NAS

QNAP Systems, Inc., today introduced the TS-x73A NAS series featuring an AMD Ryzen V1000 series v1500B quad core 8-thread 2.2 GHz processor and 2.5 GbE networking.

This reliable and secure NAS series delivers high cost-efficiency with multiple value-added capabilities, including PCIe expansion, multi-cloud backup, cloud storage gateways, multiple backup and data protection methods, and storage capacity expansion solutions. The TS-x73A series uses the app-driven QTS operating system but can switch to the ZFS-based QuTS hero to provide users with greater choice and functionality.

The TS-x73A series includes 8 GB DDR4 RAM (supports up to 64 GB, supports ECC RAM), and the two -built-in M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD slots allow users to leverage Qtier Technology and SSD Caching to achieve optimal performance. The dual 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports can deliver up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds under Port Trunking. The two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots allow for installing expansion cards to enhance NAS functionality - such as a 5 GbE/10 GbE network card, a QM2 network/storage card, a wireless adapter, or a SAS/SATA expansion card for connecting to TL SAS, TL SATA and REXP expansion units.

Graphics cards are also supported by the TS-x73A series, allowing for optimized graphical calculations and transformations. This can greatly boost the performance of applications such as video editing, 4K UHD transcoding, and imaging processing in QTS. Graphics cards can also be allocated to virtual machines via GPU passthrough. Specifications:

  • TS-473A-8G: 4 drive bays, 8 GB DDR4 memory (1 x 8 GB)
  • TS-673A-8G: 6 drive bays, 8 GB DDR4 memory (1 x 8 GB)
  • TS-873A-8G: 8 drive bays, 8 GB DDR4 memory (1 x 8 GB)

Tower model; AMD Ryzen V1000 series v1500B quad core 8-thread 2.2 GHz processor; 2x DDR4 SODIMM dual-channel RAM (up to 64 GB, ECC RAM supported); hot-swappable 2.5-inch/3.5-inch SATA 6 Gbps hard drives or SSDs; 2x 2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN ports (compatible with 1 GbE); 2x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x1 slots; 2x PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots; 3x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port.

Nice upgrade previous Intel solution... but a word to the wise: these don't have HW video transcoding, so although the CPU is much better, it might get a bit stuck with some forms of live video streaming.

I never really understood the purpose of that. You don't save bandwidth decoding before the data is sent over the network. I've had no problems just simply using a video player that reads the files directly, unless I'm trying to watch something in 4K over my crappy 802.11n wifi, but none of my wifi devices have 4K displays so it's a non-issue. The only purpose I see of transcoding on the server is if you're lowering the video quality to prevent buffering issues. I'd rather just spend the money to improve my network.

Some people stream outside their own network (I do sometimes) and if internet is sketchy on the receiving end, auto-transcoding comes in handy.
