Designed for professionals, it supports SSD caching, hardware-accelerated encryption, and advanced productivity apps, making it ideal for secure private cloud storage, virtualization, and collaborative workflows. ## Description From the manufacturer The high-performance quad-core short depth TS-431XeU includes a 10GbE SFP+ port to fully support 10GbE high-speed networks at a budget price with maximized ROI. The short depth design is perfectly suitable for installing the TS-431XeU in a compact rack, or places with a lot of cabling. The TS-431XeU provides versatile all-in-one functionality and unique features including VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) - an economical way to utilize unused NAS storage space for expanding the storage capacity of other QNAP NAS - and Container Station - that allows users to rapidly develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) apps. The TS-431XeU is a cost-effective storage solution designed for growing businesses looking for backup, restoration, private cloud, storage for virtualization, and to future-proof their IT infrastructure for 10GbE networks. Quad-core CPU and built-in one 10GbE SFP+ port The TS-431XeU is equipped with an Annapurna Labs, an desertcart company, Alpine AL314 quad-core 1.7 GHz ARM Cortex-A15 processor with SATA 6Gb/s and up to 8GB DDR3 RAM. Its encryption acceleration engine provides unmatched encryption performance in its class with AES 256-bit full NAS volume encryption, boosting system performance & security while ensuring the safety of sensitive business data stored in the TS-431XeU. Besides two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the TS-431XeU also includes a 10GbE SFP+ port to fully support 10GbE high-speed networks for businesses that demand higher bandwidth for virtualization and fast backup & restoration of an ever-growing amount of data. SSD cache acceleration The TS-431XeU supports SSD caching to greatly boost the IOPS performance of storage volumes to increase operational efficiency. It is perfect for improving the overall workflow of IOPS-demanding applications and allows the best of both cost and performance by combining SSDs with HDDs. Reduce the impact of ransomware or system failure with Snapshots The TS-431XeU supports snapshots, which can record the system status and data at any single moment*. If the system unexpectedly fails or is infected with ransomware, you can instantly restore files from a snapshot. The intuitive snapshot tool in the QTS Storage Manager can be used to take snapshots of your data, and restore data from snapshots if necessary. Always take regular snapshots to ensure the safety of your files and data. * For a single volume/LUN, up to 64 versions are supported. For the whole NAS, up to 256 versions are supported. Snapshot support will be added to the TS-431XeU in the upcoming QTS 4.3.4. High reliability design ensuring business continuity The business-ready TS-431XeU is designed to provide 24/7 operations and services. The support for comprehensive RAID configurations and hot-swapping allow for replacing hard drives without service interruption. QNAP's advanced RAID recovery technology also helps if any healthy drives are accidentally removed from a degraded RAID volume. The system can be recovered by reinserting the wrongly-removed hard drives so the data can still be accessible. The TS-431XeU delivers high reliability and efficiency with support for multiple port-trunking modes including fail-over support. Rapidly deploy IoT apps with Container Station QNAP Container Station exclusively integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies, allowing you to operate multiple isolated Linux systems on the TS-431XeU as well as download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry for unlimited containerized applications. What's better, Container Station supports the QIoT Containers platform that helps quickly structure your IoT environment and deployment on your private IoT cloud, boosting microservices and modernizing legacy applications to drive more business opportunities. Review: Cheap, lower power, reliable - Got this to replace a Synology, mainly because Synology REALLY want you to use their own branded drives, and constantly nag if you don't. Synology's drives are just Toshibas with a different label, and I'm using Toshiba N300 drives anyway, so.... Loaded the NAS with a 1TB Samsung SSD for the "system" drive (which holds the Emby metadata etc), and 3x12TB Toshiba N300 drives in RAID5. Plugged it in to my Unifi network using a SFP+ DAC cable, and it's been working away happily. Can read/write at about 600MB/s across the network (basically the drives flat out). Upgraded the RAM to 4GB using an old SODIMM out of a dead laptop, works great (came with 2GB, max is 4GB as it's a 32-bit CPU). Only thing to note is, some apps from the community don't work as they need a 64-bit CPU which this doesn't have. Don't expect to be able to run lots of apps. I only run Emby server and some of the QNAP built-in apps, so it works fine for me. Review: Small and compact 4 Bay Rackmount NAS - I dont have a lot of space in my Comms cabinet so this small rackmount 4 bay NAS was the perfect solution to my needs. I was using a 2 bay desktop NAS but now I can rackmount it along with my other networking kit out the way and still access it quickly over the network. Installed 4 x 4TB Ironwolf drives in it and it is working like a charm. The Qnap software is easy to use and set up. I had my Raid array running in no time and sharing data across all my machines and devices. It does make a little bit of noise but as it is our the way in a closed comms cabinet it is not a problem. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | QNAP | | Connectivity technology | Ethernet, SATA , USB | | Digital storage capacity | 2 GB | | Hard disk form factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | SATA 6 GB/s | | Special feature | Portable | ## Product Details - **Brand:** QNAP - **Colour:** black - **Size:** 2 GB RAM - **Material:** Metal - **Compatible devices:** Server, Desktop ## Images ![Qnap 4-Bay quad-core 1.7 GHz 2gb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41DRt1C3dZL.jpg) ![Qnap 4-Bay quad-core 1.7 GHz 2gb - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/311BOIZw7KL.jpg) ![Qnap 4-Bay quad-core 1.7 GHz 2gb - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41clDl7cKlL.jpg) ![Qnap 4-Bay quad-core 1.7 GHz 2gb - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/312LKoKiIJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap, lower power, reliable *by Z***N on 1 July 2024* Got this to replace a Synology, mainly because Synology REALLY want you to use their own branded drives, and constantly nag if you don't.
