Q: 1. 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: 2. Can you install an NVME RAID card in the 16x PCIe slot?

A: This has two M2. NVMe slots and might be able to add two more dual NVMe PCIe cards if you removed the thunderbolt card for a total of 6 NVMe M2. drives, which you could raid.

Q: 3. Which 10gbe and Thunderbolt 3 PCI expansion cards are compatible with the TVS-672XT?

A: The QNAP TVS-672XT 6-Bay NAS Enclosure cannot accept Thunderbolt expansion cards. It can accept various network cards from QNAP, Marvell, Intel, Mellanox, and Emulex. A complete list of compatible cards can be found on QNAP's website.

Q: 4. Is there room to add more RAM to this NAS system? If so does the additional RAM size need to match the current RAM size install

A: The QNAP TVS-H1288X's RAM can be expanded up to 128 GB (ECC). Two 8 GB RAM modules are already installed, so you would need to remove them first.

Q: 5. What is the model # to the CPU this unit has, is it the i9-12900 or i9-12900H or i9-12900KS?

A: The QNAP TVS-h874X 8-Bay NAS Enclosure uses the i9-12900 CPU.
