Get performance benefits from SSD caching and Qtier Technology

To attain optimal I/O and reduce latency, you can configure SSD caching by using either 2.5-inch SSDs or two M.2 NVMe 2280 SSDs (sold separately) in the TVS-672X. Extra M.2 SSD slots can also be added by installing QM2 PCIe cards, allowing you to configure your M.2 SSDs in a RAID 5/6 array to achieve higher sequential speed or a read-only cache speed similar to the performance of a RAID 10 array while maintaining high storage efficiency.

SSD over-provisioning (Over-provisioning)	SSD cache acceleration	Qtier for auto-tiering
Add additional SSD over-provisioning to avoid write amplification and improve SSD random write speeds and endurance. You can potentially attain enterprise-grade SSD performance levels from affordable consumer-grade SSDs!	Enables SSD caching for increasing IOPS performance and reducing latency for storage volumes. This is perfect for IOPS-demanding applications including databases and virtualization.	Qtier Technology drives auto-tiered storage with continuous data optimization across high-performance SSDs and high-capacity HDDs based on access frequency. I/O-Aware Qtier can reserve a cache-like space in the SSD tiered to handle burst I/O in real time.

Direct 4K HDMI output for multimedia and virtual machines

The TVS-672X features Intel® UHD Graphics 630 that supports hardware decoding and real-time transcoding*. The HDMI 2.0 output supports up to 4K (3840 x 2160p) @60Hz, providing great benefits for applications like video production/editing or industrial design that demands high resolution and color realism as well as intensive media storage, transfer and display. By connecting the TVS-672X to an HDMI display, you can operate virtual machines from Virtualization Station or Ubuntu Linux Station, or directly watch multimedia content saved on the NAS. QNAP's HD Station also allows users to directly enjoy multimedia using HD Player or third-party players like Plex® Home Theater.

*The TVS-672X’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).

License-free VMware® and Hyper-V backup appliance

With Hyper Data Protector, the TVS-672X becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware® vSphere and Microsoft® Hyper-V VM backup. Hyper Data Protector features incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling and recovery compression. Hyper Data Protector also simultaneously backs up multiple VMs, providing you with a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery plan, ensuring 24/7 operation of your services.

---

Optimized collaboration with seamless file sharing and sync

The TVS-672X 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 the Qsync utility, any file uploaded to the TVS-672X will become available for all linked devices (such as computers, laptops and mobiles). You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. The support of Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS), Windows AD® and LDAP services assist system administrators in managing user accounts and permissions for multiple NAS devices with greater efficiency.

Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment

Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port 16Gb/32Gb Fibre Channel expansion cards in the TVS-672X, you have more budget-friendly options to add a NAS to a SAN environment. You can set a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app. Moreover, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of data security.

More productivity-boosting applications

---

Flexible and economical storage expansion

The storage capacity of the TVS-672X can be expanded using USB-based expansion enclosures or connecting SATA 6Gb/s JBOD units with the PCIe-based QXP storage expansion cards. NAS storage expansion management is made easy with the user-friendly Storage & Snapshots Manager app.

Switch operating systems for optimal data integrity and reliability

The TVS-672X also supports QuTS hero - QNAP’s ZFS-based NAS operating system. Providing end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression and compaction), and much more, QuTS hero uses additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.

Note:

1. QTS and QuTS hero use different file systems. You must remove all the drives from the TVS-672X before switching from QuTS hero to QTS.
2. QuTS hero requires a NAS with at least 8 GB memory.
3. Inline Data Deduplication requires a NAS with at least 16 GB memory (at least 32 GB memory is recommended for optimal performance).
4. It is recommended to create an SSD RAID with at least two SSDs for the QuTS hero system drive to attain optimal system performance. Please note that M.2 SSD hot-swapping is only supported by M.2 SSD slots on PCIe cards (such as the QM2). M.2 SSD slots that are built into the NAS do not support hot-swapping.
