QNAP offers comprehensive, budget-friendly storage and networking solutions that provide an array of connectivity possibilities. Easily and flexibly upgrade your workplace or home network now to handle bandwidth-hungry applications.

QNAP 10GbE/2.5GbE switches support 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M and allow connecting multiple workstations and devices for high-speed collaboration in device-dense environments.

A QNAP NAS features one or more 2.5GbE ports, and Port Trunking allows you to combine multiple ports for greater bandwidth potential.

Servers and desktop computers can install the PCIe-based QNAP network expansion cards that support 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M Multi-Gig.

Laptops and upgrade-limited computers can use the portable QNAP USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE adapter that allows you to connect to 5G/2.5G/1G/100M networks via USB.

Upgrading your network shouldn't break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1GbE. You can even use your existing CAT 5e cables to immediately take advantage of higher transfer speeds.

No complex settings are required to use the QSW-1105-5T—simply connect your devices and it's ready to use. The QSW-1105-5T supports auto-negotiation that optimizes transfer speeds and performance for each connected device, while its built-in management mechanism ensures smooth transmission of network packets during periods of heavy usage.

The QSW-1105-5T features network loop detection. If a network loop is detected, the QSW-1105-5T automatically locks the looped ports to ensure the network environment quickly resumes normal operation.

The QSW-1105-5T features a fanless design for near-silent operation. The unique ventilated construction assists in cooling while maintaining high performance.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will I need to purchase rails separately to rack mount the TS-h1090FU?

A: The QNAP TS-h1090FU-7302P-128G 10-Bay NAS Enclosure (BH #QN907302P128), does not include rails. Compatible rails are the QNAP Rail Kit for 2 RU Rackmount Models BH #QNRB02.

Q: 2. I've never had a NAS before. Have always used DAS for video editing. Can I format multiple RAID arrays in this single enclosure? For example, I want to make the 3.5" drives one array for media storage (4K-8K RED and BRAW footage), and the 2.5" SSDs a separate array for render cache.

A: You can setup the NAS with multiple RAID arrays.

Q: 3. I'm considering purchase of this QNAP TS-932PX-4G. My current computer is an older iMac that only has Thunderlboldt 2 and USB 3.0, and Gigabit Ethernet. I'm looking for a storage solution that will work with that Mac but also be a smart investment for use with a new Mac when I upgrade soon. Is it possible to connect this NAS to my current iMac, with some type of adapter, via Thunderboldt 2. 0 or USB 3, since that would conceivably give me faster transfer rates than using the Gigabit ethernet port? I plan to use it for photo and video editing and data storage.

A: The QNAP TS-932PX-4G 9-Bay NAS Enclosure can only connect to a computer via ethernet, either directly to the computer's ethernet port or to a network router/switch via ethernet.

Q: 4. Can you connect this device to your main computer using TB3 and still have a remote computer access the drives through the Internet ports?

A: This NAS server also acts as a DAS (direct attached storage) when connected to the Thunderbolt 3 port. You will connect this NAS server to your network via the Ethernet port, to connect remotely with it. When you're next to your NAS server, you can connect to it via the Thunderbolt 3 port for a faster transfer rate.

Q: 5. Can I set this up to back up an external HDD and the internal SSD of my MacBook over ethernet every night?

A: Yes, you can use the QNAP TS-233-US 2-Bay NAS Enclosure as backup storage for your MacBook, you would have to use the QNAP software to setup automated backup times for your drives and your computer would have to be on at the time at which you setup the backup to occur.

Q: 6. I have an older TS 569L can the drives that have data on them be swapped into this unit w/o any additional configuration?

A: NAS drives should not be moved from one unit to another unit until the data has been backed up and relocated to another device. RAID configurations and hardware can vary and differences can corrupt or destroy data on drives. This would be true of the QNAP TS-932PX-4G 9-Bay NAS Enclosure BH #QNTS932PX4G and most other NAS on the market.

Q: 7. Does it function as a network switch as well if we have multiple network cards? Between the machines that are connected?

A: Yes, when paired with QNAP's PCIe Network cards the QNAP TS-H1290FX-7232P-64G-US 12-Bay NAS Enclosure can connect up to 20 PCs together without a network switch.

Q: 8. Could I run this with a single drive to start?

A: Yes, the QNAP TS-233-US 2-Bay NAS Enclosure could be used with a single drive, but this would preclude any type of RAID, which would diminish either performance or parity.

Q: 9. How many free licenses are provided to connect IP cameras?

A: The QNAP TS-473A-8G-US 4-Bay NAS Enclosure, B&H # QNTS473A8GUS, comes with QVR Pro which includes 8 free built-in camera channels.

Q: 10. Will this work with a standard 1GB ethernet port?

A: Yes, the QNAP TS-932PX-4G 9-Bay NAS Enclosure will this work with a standard 1GB ethernet port.

[2.085 lb] Game changer! Couldn't be happier. 5

[12 x 7.7 x 2.4"] A solid choice for personal cloud storage, and with a lot of extra apps and features that can integrate with smartphones as well as computers. The SSD option does seem to speed up the access for frequently used files, and the newer CPU is better suited to this device's role than in previous models. 5

John	23/09/2024
[External] A NAS upgrade from a 5 year old model, these 2 made everything fast and snappy again. Donated the old ones to a city computer organization to help those without such resources, these 2 were a cinch to upgrade and move my data over and be back up and running really fast. Might be better ones out there, but the price and size and ease of use made getting these a no brainer. 5

Dean	11/09/2024
[12 x 7.7 x 2.4"] This is a great enclosure for anyone who's looking for a raid system to protect client footage. I can edit my 6k & 8k footage straight from the drives without proxies. 5

Jonathan	29/08/2024
[12 x 7.7 x 2.4"] I really like have all my files in one place. Having the four drives is really nice, and the M2.NVME slot's are a bonus. Having a SFP port in the back is great! 10gb transfer speeds are awesome! 5

[12.00 W (Max)] This thing is replacing my TS 653 eventually. It is whisper quiet sitting right beside me. It is a faster Celeron than the 653 and it uses metal trays instead of plastic brackets. It gives my system a nice look. One thing all should be aware of is that the holes for the rack mount are smaller than the regular rack screws so keep that in mind. I didn't increase the memory as I bought the 8 GB model, and I love the B&H Payboo Card which saves money. 5

Rock86	24/08/2024
[12.00 W (Max)] My old PR4100 NAS was way past its prime and needed to be retired fast. I researched the QNAP TS-464 and decided it would suit my needs. I was amazed how fast my data (+/- 150GB) was copied from the old to the new NAS. (across a 1G connection) The ability to see the network traffic across the pair of NIC's that I used to connect to my router was a bonus. The QNAP Apps available both free and licensed opened up a new capability that I did not have on my old WD device. Money well spent and I am just getting started with my data safe on this QNAP machine. 5

Cameron	22/07/2024
[12.00 W (Max)] This was my first NAS setup for video editing, and it's been fantastic. A bit involved to set up, but the capabilities it has are incredible once you watch a few tutorials. I'm connected to mine through a 10g ethernet connection, using an ethernet to thunderbolt adapter to go into my MacBook Pro. It's nearly as fast as the thunderbolt RAID I have on my desk, but much larger and more powerful. 5

Dennis	19/07/2024
[12.00 W (Max)] Using with Crucial 1Tb drives in RAID 5 and hitting 1.2Gb read for my home virtualization environment. I have older QNAPs that just keep running without failure. 5

Paul	13/07/2024
[9000 Bytes] I bought a pair of QNAPs: TS-451 and TS-431 back in 2015. I wanted to replace the -431 because its 32-bit ARM CPU couldn't run the convenient Tailscale VPN I wanted to use to access it remotely. Then my -451 developed a hardware issue that I was able to repair but which made me nervous about its longevity. So I purchased the -464, moved the drives from the -451 to it, and was back on the air. The repaired -451, with new drives, will soon move to a remote location, accessed via Tailscale. The -464 is a nice upgrade: faster CPU, tool-less disk installation, less cluttered styling. 5
