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-RP features a PCIe Gen3 x8 slot that allows for 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 40 GbE 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-RP by installing a QNAP 10 GbE PCIe card QXG-10G2SF-CX4 that uses the Mellanox ConnectX-4 controller. iSER can provide a significant increase in performance, offering an essential tool for optimizing demanding virtualization applications.
