Test Environment — NAS: TS-432XeU; OS: QTS 5.2.7; Volume Type: Samsung 850 PRO 512GB SATA x 4, RAID 5; Client PC: Windows Server 2019, AMD EPYC 7232P 3.09GHz, 64GB RAM, QXG-10G2SF-CX4.
10GbE high-speed connectivity for enhanced productivity
Flexible high-speed networking for easier collaboration
- Fast individual access: Quickly access your files and services through TS-432XeU’s multiple built-in network ports.
- Smooth multi-user sharing: Connect more clients by pairing TS-432XeU with a QNAP 10GbE switch for seamless team collaboration.

High-speed 10GbE and 2.5GbE with doubled bandwidth
TS-432XeU provides 1 × 10GbE SFP+ port and 2 × 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, allowing aggregation of two or more network ports of the same speed to achieve doubled transmission bandwidth. You can choose between two configuration options based on your needs:
- SMB Multichannel: Increases available bandwidth between the NAS and a single connected device, reducing data transfer time. Ideal for SOHO users and small offices.
- Port Trunking: Expands network bandwidth for more efficient file transfers, enabling multiple users to access data simultaneously with smooth performance. Suitable for enterprise environments with multiple users and network switches.
