Overview

A high-performance 10GbE-capable NAS with a powerful quad-core AMD R-Series APU


The TS-673 is equipped with a high-performance and energy-efficient AMD R-Series processor and offers two PCIe slots for greater functionality. You can install a QNAP QM2 expansion card to add M.2 / 10GbE SSD caching; a compatible wireless card to use the TS-673 as a wireless access point; and an entry-level graphics card (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce GT1030) to enhance system performance for 4K video performance. The TS-673 allows you to flexibly deploy a wide range of applications on a more affordable budget.
  • Unified NAS and iSCSI-SAN (IP-SAN) Storage Solution
  • Supports NVIDIA GeForce GT1030 graphics card, enabling 4K video transcoding and output
  • Dual M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSD slots allow caching or storage pools to be configured, improving file access efficiency.
  • Combined M.2 and Qtier SSD caching technologies provide optimised storage
  • Supports virtualisation, central storage, backup, sharing and disaster recovery
  • QmailAgent for centralized email management; Qsirch as a full-text search tool; Qcontactz for centralized contact storage and management
  • The new QVR Pro monitoring system provides dedicated storage for monitoring data in the NAS, and takes advantage of the benefits offered by the management capabilities of QTS.


Expands the potential of the NAS with two PCIe slots


The TS-673 includes two PCIe (Gen3 x 4) slots, which allow the installation of optional single/double port 10GbE NICs to accelerate bandwidth-intensive applications such as virtualization, multimedia workflows, and backup/recovery tasks for ever-increasing data volumes; or a USB 3.1 Gen2 (10 Gbps) expansion card to transfer large multimedia files to and from USB storage. You can insert QM2 cards or wireless network cards to expand the functionality of your NAS.


AMD R-Series quad-core processor


Equipped with a 2.1GHz AMD R-Series RX-421ND quad-core CPU (Turbo Core up to 3.4GHz) and up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, the TS-673 enables fast multitasking with low power consumption, up to 2347MB/s with 10GbE configuration. With a hardware-accelerated AES-NI encryption engine, the TS-673 delivers class-leading encryption performance (up to 2310 MB/s with full 256-bit AES NAS volume encryption) to enhance system performance while ensuring the security of business data stored on the NAS.


First-class hardware engineering


Robust and feature-rich hardware enhances overall system performance. Coupled with a flexible and expandable architecture, the TS-673 can meet a variety of application needs.
  • Infrared Receiver : Works with the optional remote control (RM-IR004) to playback media files and initiate QButton quick functions.
  • 2 3rd generation PCIe expansion slots: PCIe Gen.3 x4; supports one 10GbE LAN dual port card and one USB 3.1 expansion card.
  • 2 integrated M.2 SSD slots: Supports 2260 and 2280 M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSDs; maximizes tiered storage configuration flexibility and enables cache acceleration.
  • Integrated AMD R-Series x86 : Quad-core RX-421ND 2.1 GHz SoC (35 W), 3.4 GHz in turbo mode
  • 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports: Enables optimised network traffic distribution for various applications.


Greater efficiency with SSD caching and 10GbE connectivity


The TS-673 supports the innovative PCIe QM2 card that allows you to add up to two M.2 SSDs. You can configure the SSD cache, or create a RAID 5 tiered storage with the two M.2 SSDs in the NAS. Since these M.2 SSDs won't take up 3.5-inch drive bays, the card allows you to maximize your storage capacity and performance. In addition, there are QM2 cards that include 10GbE 10GBASE-T connectivity to provide the SSD cache with high-speed network connectivity on a single card.


SSD cache with Qtier optimization for 24-hour acceleration


The TS-673 includes the SSD cache, and also supports optional M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSDs. Using the SSD cache boosts overall system performance. Perfect for overall workflow improvement of random IOPS demanding applications, e.g. virtualization. QNAP's Qtier technology enables the TS-673 to perform automatic tiering that will help you optimize storage efficiency between your different M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity SATA drives with24-hour acceleration. The new Qtier 2.0 includes I/O recognition that prioritizes SSD storage with reserved space as a cache to handle real-time burst I/O, greatly maximizing the benefits of SSDs.


Optimal computing power and 4K video playback with a graphics card


The TS-673 allows for the installation of a low-powered graphics card (powered only by the PCIe connector) to enhance system performance. With a graphics card installed, the TS-673 also enables smoother video editing workflows and supports 4K UHD transcoding to deliver a great multimedia experience. You can also use the QNAP remote control (sold separately) or the Qremote mobile app to use the NAS as a home theatre PC.


Use Your NAS as a Wireless Base Station


Install a compatible PCIe network card (e.g., QNAP QWA-AC2600) on the TS-673 and use it with the WirelessAP Station application to use your NAS as a convenient wireless base station. Your mobile devices and computers can connect directly to your NAS for easy access to its services and Internet connection.

QTS - Intelligent, Intuitive, and Creative Operating System for NAS


With its multiple applications and modularized features, QTS improves management efficiency, personal productivity, multimedia experience, and more, making your NAS experience easier, more efficient, and more flexible!

Combined with Qsync - a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a secure and high-capacity data centre for file synchronisation - any file uploaded to the TS-673 will be made available to all related devices, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. You can synchronise shared folders and team folders for group file sharing, greatly enhancing the flexibility of team projects and collaborative work. Files can be managed centrally using File Station, including files from mobile devices and optical disk drives. In addition, File Station allows you to mount a remote NAS, and transfer files between your NAS and public cloud services for added convenience.


NAS as a multi-OS platform


Virtualization Station allows you to host virtual machines (VMs) on the TS-253Be and access them via web browser or VNC. Virtualization Station supports multiple operating systems, fast VM creation, VM backup/restore, VM import/export, snapshots and Device Management. This allows you to centrally manage your VMs. Virtualization Station also gives TS-253Be, VMs and containers the ability to share the same network port. No more physical network performance constraints. The high-speed virtual switches significantly speed up the data transfer between VMs, containers and NAS through the internal interface. The TS-253Be also features Container Station which integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. You can run multiple isolated Linux systems on the TS-253Be and also download applications via the built-in Docker Hub Registry. Container Station also supports the QIoT Containers platform, which will help you quickly structure your IoT environment and deploy to your private IoT cloud.
