Overview

QNAP TS-873AeU: 8-bay NAS with 2.5 GbE LAN

The QNAP TS-873AeU-4G 2U shallow rackmount NAS offers 8 2.5"/3.5" bays, 2 M.2 slots for SSD caching and two 2.5 GbE LAN controllers. It features an AMD Ryzen V1500B processor (4 cores/8 threads) which is able to boost the performance of virtual machines. It is also scalable with up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory and offers a PCIe 3.0 8x slot for adding functionality via an expansion card.

High performance hardware

Powered by a quad-core AMD Ryzen 4-core/8-thread V1500B 2.2 GHz processor with AES-NI encryption acceleration and up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM, the rack-mounted TS-873AeU delivers smart yet aggressive performance.delivers smart, yet aggressive performance for running resource-intensive business applications such as VDI, R&D, private cloud and server virtualisation.

Integrity verification for your hard drives

Hard drives are the heart of your NAS and ensuring their integrity and long-term reliability is absolutely crucial. QNAP provides various tools and methods to help you monitor the integrity of hard drives, which allows you to make proactive decisions to protect your data and files.

  • S.M.A.R.T and Bad Block Analysis: If any of the S.M.A.R.T values are reported as abnormal, or bad blocks are detected, you can take prior action and replace the drives before any data loss occurs.
  • DA Drive Analyzer: The DA Drive Analyzer leverages ULINK cloud-based AI to predict estimated drive life, which helps you plan future drive replacements to protect against NAS downtime and data loss.
  • Seagate IronWolf Health Management: When using supported IronWolf or IronWolf Pro hard drives, overall system reliability is improved by providing actionable prevention, response, and recovery options.

PCI-Express expansion card slot

The TS-873AeU features a PCIe Gen3 x8 slot that allows the installation of various expansion cards to tailor the usage of the NAS according to the business needs. Whether it's adding expansion units with a SAS card, increasing bandwidth with a 40GbE card, or adding SSDs for increased cache and performance.

optimised for VMware virtualisation with iSER

The iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA) protocol boosts VMware ESXi storage data transfer performance and reduces ESXi server CPU load. iSER support can be added to the TS-873AeU by installing a QNAP PCIe 10GbE QXG-10G2SF-CX4 card that uses the Mellanox ConnectX-4 controller. iSER can provide a significant increase in performance, offering an essential tool for optimizing demanding virtualization applications.

    Well built and fast NAS

    I'm used to QNAP NAS, this one has the advantage of being compatible with the ZFS format, being short in depth, being quiet enough for a bay in audiovisual production. Nothing to say for a month, top quality.
