With support for M.2 SSDs and the ability to install a graphics card, the TVS-872XT offers the ability to boost performance and create a scalable work environment for high-speed collaboration and file sharing. The TVS-872XT is equipped with high quality hardware that delivers optimal performance, full multimedia capabilities, expandable storage capacity and many other NAS features to inspire more creativity and achievement!
  • High-speed Thunderbolt 3 with SMB protocol, allowing Mac and Windows users to collaborate on multimedia editing.
  • RJ45 10GBASE-T 5-speed connectivity accelerates virtualization applications and file sharing between teams and devices.
  • PCIe expandability allows you to use an entry-level graphics card to speed up NAS video processing and GPU computation.
  • Install PCIe M.2 NVMe SSDs (Gen 3 x2, 2GB/s) (sold separately) to set up cache or storage pools, improving file access efficiency.
  • 4K playback and real-time transcoding; display creative work directly on an HDTV via HDMI 2.0 output (4K at 60Hz).
  • Snapshots record the entire system and data status, allowing you to protect your data and files from accidental deletion and malware attacks.


Fast and flexible Thunderbolt 3 and 10GBASE-T connectivity


The TVS-872XT adopts the powerful 8th generation Intel i5 8400T 1.7GHz 8-core processor with 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory (expandable up to 32GB) to deliver outstanding performance. It offers two Gigabit ports and a 5-speed 10GBASE-T port (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M), supports SATA 6 Gbps drives, and includes AES-NI encryption to deliver high performance while keeping your data safe. You can also connect USB Type C devices via the Thunderbolt 3 ports to transfer large media files between devices, providing a more efficient workflow.


Get more performance with M.2 SSD cache


In addition to using 2.5-inch SSDs for caching, you can use the two M.2 SSD slots built into the TVS-872XT to integrate NVMe PCIe SSDs (Gen 3 x2, 2GB/s) with 2280 form factors (M.2 SSDs sold separately).

SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce storage volume latency. They are ideal for IOPS-intensive applications (including databases and virtualisation) and can significantly improve overall workflows.
Qtier technology enhances the TVS-872XT with automatic tiering that helps continuously optimise storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity hard drives based on data access frequency. Qtier 2. 0 includes I/O recognition that prioritizes SSD storage with reserved space as a cache to manage burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the benefits of SSDs.


Achieve performance and endurance levels potentially similar to professional SSDs


With SSD prices becoming more affordable, now is the best time to use SSDs in your NAS to enjoy superior performance, faster file backups, smoother multimedia experiences, and optimized virtualization applications. Starting with QTS 4.3.5, you can take advantage of the additional overprovisioning (OP) in RAID SSDs that allows you to allocate additional OP space (from 1 to 60%) to optimize random write speeds and increase SSD life. Now you can use affordable consumer SSDs for the TVS-872XT, set the SSD OP, and potentially achieve performance and endurance levels similar to professional SSDs.


Flexibly manage virtual and physical networks


The Virtual Switch and Network app manages physical network interfaces (including network adapters and Thunderbolt ports) and virtual adapters (virtual machines and containers) and their communications, providing a visualized topology that clearly shows physical and virtual network connections. The flexible management capability allows you to more easily rearrange physical and virtual network connections, so you can allocate adequate network resources to the TVS-872XT, virtual machines and containers as needed.


Collaboration Station for Mac and Windows


The TVS-872XT isideal for Mac and Windows users with Thunderbolt - especially photographers, film makers and graphic designers who need 4K media storage, instant sharing and high-speed workflows. Up to 2 Thunderbolt devices can be connected to the TVS-872XT to handle simultaneous photo and audio editing without affecting system performance. Since Final Cut Pro X 10.3 (and later) supports file sharing via SMB, Windows users and other devices using Thunderbolt 3, 10GbE or GbE connections can join the editing workflow more efficiently.


The best storage solution for 10GbE-equipped iMac Pros


The iMac Pro is the first Mac computer to include a 10GbE Ethernet port, setting a milestone in the growing consumer demand for 10GbE connectivity. Since the TVS-872XT comes with both 10GbE and Thunderbolt 3 ports, it offers an exceptional storage foundation for iMac Pro users as they can choose between Thunderbolt 3 and 10GbE connections to suit the needs of their applications and devices.


Ultimate visual experience with 4K HDMI output


The TVS-872XT features an HDMI 2.0 port that supports 4K (3840 x 2160) output at 60Hz. This provides exceptional benefits for applications such as video production/editing, industrial design and professional photography that require high display resolution and colour realism as well as huge media storage, transfer and display capabilities. By connecting the TVS-872XT to an HDTV receiver via the HDMI output, you can directly display the multimedia content saved on the NAS on a larger screen. You can also download and install versatile multimedia apps from Ubuntu Software Center via QNAP Linux Station. QNAP HD Station also allows users to directly enjoy the multimedia using the HD Player or third-party players such as Plex Home Theater.

Real-time transcoding for excellent multimedia experience on multiple devices


Equipped with the advanced Intel UHD 610 graphics card, the TVS-872XT supports 4K H.264 triple channel hardware decoding and real-time transcoding, allowing you to convert videos into universal file formats that can be played back smoothly on multiple devices.


Full backup scheduling

    qnap TVS-872XT-I5-16G

    This product corresponds to a search for the use of a program provided by the brand. This program is "plex". I already have other network hard drives from the brand, I just have to switch off the old nas, remove the hard drives leaving them in order. Then put them back in the bays of the new nas. To install the update directly on the qnap site. As far as the configuration is concerned, I have put 2 x 1Tb ssd and 6 sata hard drives (1 x 1Tb hard drive connected by Qtier, 2 x 8Tb drives, 2 x 10Tb drives and finally 1 x 12Tb drive). The other ssd is used for cache acceleration. I put everything together in one to make it easier. Since this change, the plex application works better. There are no more interruptions (it depends on the box and the type of internet connection "download 125 mbps", "upload 7,1 Mbps").
