Features:
5 Times Faster with 5GBASE-T Connectivity
The TVS-672N adopts the powerful 8th generation Intel® Core™ i3-8100T quad-core 3.1 GHz processor with 8 GB dual-channel DDR4 memory (expandable to 32 GB) to deliver outstanding performance. The TVS-672N has one four-speed 5GBASE-T port (5G/2.5G/1G/100M) for connectivity up to five times faster than Gigabit Ethernet, supports SATA 6Gbps drives, and features AES-NI encryption for delivering high performance while also maintaining the security of your data. The USB Type-C port allows you to transfer large media files across devices, providing a more efficient workflow.
Follow the Wi-Fi 6 trends and upgrade to a 5GbE/2.5GbE NAS
As more laptops and access points support the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard, wireless bandwidth has greatly increased to 5GbE/2.5GbE, delivering much faster speeds than conventional Gigabit connections. Don’t let your NAS hinder your user experience – add a TVS-672N to your network environment to enhance your storage and access experience. You can also add 5GbE connectivity to your laptop with an affordable QNAP USB 3.0 to 5GbE adapter (QNA-UC5G1T) and directly connect to the TVS-672N to benefit from higher network speeds.
Get Performance Benefits from SSD Caching and Qtier Technology
In addition to using 2.5-inch SSDs for caching, you can utilize the two built-in M.2 SSD slots in the TVS-672N for installing PCIe (Gen 3 x2, 2 GB/s) NVMe SSDs with 2280 form factors (M.2 SSDs are sold separately). You can also add extra M.2 SSDs with a QM2 card and leverage QNAP SSD technologies to improve NAS performance.
Improve Random Data Access Speeds with an SSD CacheSSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-demanding applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflow.
Freely Remove Qtier’s SSD RAID TierYou can flexibly remove an SSD from an SSD RAID group to change or add SSDs, or change SSD RAID type or SSD type (SATA, M.2, QM2) when needed to enhance storage auto-tiering efficiency.
Maximize the Value of SSDs with Qtier TechnologyQtier™ technology empowers the TVS-672N with auto-tiering, which helps optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs based on data access frequency. Qtier™ 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSDs.
Ultimate Visual Experience with 4K HDMI Output and Viewing on Mobile Devices
The TVS-672N has an HDMI 2.0 port that supports 4K (3840 x 2160) 60Hz output, providing higher resolution and color realism for greater media entertainment. By connecting the TVS-672N to an HDTV via the HDMI output, you can directly view multimedia content saved on the NAS on a bigger screen. You can also download and install versatile multimedia apps from Ubuntu® Software Center through QNAP Linux Station. QNAP's HD Station also allows users to directly enjoy multimedia using HD Player or third-party players like Plex® Home Theater. Featuring advanced Intel® UHD Graphics 630, the TVS-672N provides high-quality 4K (H.264) video transcoding, and you can easily convert videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices.
*The TVS-672N’s hardware provides H.264 hardware decoding, encoding, and transcoding capabilities. However, playback quality may vary due to factors including playback software, file formats, system usage, and available bandwidth.
Protect Data with Snapshots
Snapshots help protect your data by fully recording the NAS system state and metadata. If a file is accidentally deleted or modified, you can use snapshots from Storage & Snapshots Manager or File Station to quickly restore files to their previously recorded state. QNAP snapshots are block-based and only record modified data. Not only does this save storage space, but it also reduces the time required to back up and restore data. The TVS-672N supports up to 256 snapshots per volume/LUN and up to 1,024 snapshots in total.
Optimized Collaboration with Seamless File Sharing and Sync
The TVS-672N centrally stores data and files and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX® networks. Coupled with Qsync, a QNAP NAS utility that transforms your NAS into a safe, high-capacity data center for file synchronization, any file uploaded to the TVS-672N will be made available to all linked devices, such as computers, laptops, and mobile devices. You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. Files can be centrally managed using File Station, including files from mobile devices and optical disc drives.
