Expand your network storage capacity to handle demanding, bandwidth-intensive workflows such as 4K/8K media streaming and post-production with the QNAP TS-h1090FU 10-Bay NAS Enclosurefrom QNAP. This high-performance rackmount enclosure features ten lockable 2.5" bays that support U.2 PCIe Gen 4 and SATA III solid-state drives that may be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD, or Single mode to balance between your speed and data redundancy needs. Powered by a 3 GHz AMD EPYC 7302P 16-core processor with 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory, the TS-h1090FU can smoothly handle a multitude of simultaneous tasks.

Integrate the TS-h1090FU into your network through its dual 2.5G RJ45 Ethernet ports and two 25G SFP28 ports for blisteringly fast fiber connections. Additionally, the ZFS-based QuTS hero 5.0.0 operating system supports inline data deduplication and compression, which significantly extends SSD lifespan by reducing I/O and SSD storage consumption.

The 10 drive bays allow you to build a high-performance array with U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSDs or SATA III SSDs. Latency-sensitive applications can be bolstered with U.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs to attain optimized performance and utmost application response times.

The TS-h1090FU is equipped with a 3 GHz AMD EPYC 7302P 16-core processor, which is based on the "Zen 2" architecture with 7nm process technology. It also has 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory that detects and corrects single-bit memory errors for higher reliability. The TS-h1090FU includes 12 Long-DIMM slots, supporting up to 1TB memory to handle memory-intensive workloads such as virtualization and 4K/8K multimedia applications.

The two 25G SFP28 SmartNIC ports (compatible with 10G SFP+ and 1G SFP) also support iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) to increase performance of data transfer between NAS and VMware ESXi server and offload CPU workloads. With port trunking and auto negotiation, the TS-h1090FU empowers your organization with the bandwidth and reliability to allow thousands of endpoint users to smoothly access data stored on the NAS while satisfying the most performance-demanding applications.

The TS-h1090FU is equipped with two PCIe Gen 4 slots. With twice the I/O performance of PCIe Gen 3, the TS-h1090FU can take advantage of PCIe cards to expand application potential.

QuTS hero combines the app-based QTS with the 128-bit ZFS file system to provide flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance to tackle the complexity and performance demands of modern IT. From storage management, virtualization, to collaborative media workflows, QuTS hero streamlines your business-critical tasks.

QuTS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies (including inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction) to reduce file sizes, conserve storage capacity, and optimize performance. For example, if 20 virtual machines on a NAS are replicated using the same template, then storage space requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%.

Q: 1. Can one fill the 3.5" bays with drives and then add the 2.5" drives later? Or is it better to fill the whole unit from day 1?

A: The QNAP TS-h973AX 9-Bay NAS Enclosure (BH #QNTSH973AX32) can work with just the 3.5'' drives but is recommended to have all drives filled for a easier setup process.

Q: 2. Could you please confirm that this doesn't support Raid 5?

A: The QNAP TS-216G 2-Bay NAS Enclosure does not support RAID 5 and is only capable of RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD. Only enclosures with three or more bays (and a minimum of three drives installed) can support RAID 5.

Q: 3. How does it perform as a Plex server?

A: Yes, this QNAP TS-264 2-Bay NAS Enclosure will work as an excellent Plex server.

Q: 4. If I go from raid 0 to raid 6 I know I have to reload my data but does the os retain its modifications (ie apps added) ?

A: Yes, changing the RAID will not change the system settings in the OS on the QNAP TS-664 6-Bay NAS Enclosure.

Q: 5. Does it come with any free ip camera licenses?

A: The QNAP TS-464 4-Bay NAS Enclosure, B&H # QNTS4648GUS, comes with QVR Pro which includes 8 free built-in camera channels.

Q: 7. Seagate has released a 3.5", 7200-rpm drive which utilizes the SAS III 12 Gb/s interface. Will QNAP upgrade this product soon?

A: The QNAP TS-664 6-Bay NAS Enclosure, (B&H # QNTS6648GUS) only supports SATA drives, you would not be able to upgrade it to use SAS drives. You would need to look at a model that supports SAS.

Q: 8. Can I connect this to 4x editing stations simultaneously?

A: The QNAP TS-h973AX has a 10GbE and 2x2.5GbE ports that you can use to connect the NAS to your network. The users would access the NAS from the network.

Q: 9. I see suggestions for Q-nap expansion cards, but on the back of the TS-h973AX I don't see any place to put them. Is there an ability to expand some capabilities internals or does this not support expansion cards?

A: Unfortunately, the QNAP TS-h973AX 9-Bay NAS Enclosure does not support extension cards.

Q: 10. What is the maximum amount of space that 1, 3.5 SATA Drive bay can hold?

A: There is no set limit on the capacity of installed 3.5" SATA hard drives. It is however important that all drives used with this enclosure should be the same speed and capacity.
