QNAP has added three business-class desktop NASes.
The TS-x70 line includes four, six and eight-bay models. All are powered by 2.6 GHz dual-core Intel processors backed by 2 GB of RAM.
All have two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports and two more on an included PCI-e card, which can be swapped for a 10 GbE card.
Other ports include two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, two eSATA and one HDMI.
QNAP TS-470
The TS-x70 series is designed for scalability and can be expanded using multiple QNAP RAID expansion enclosures (REXP-1200U-RP / REXP-1600U-RP) to expand total storage to 100 TB of raw capacity.
QNAP said its internal testing shows reads up to 450 MB/s and writes up to 423 MB/s in "typical Windows environments in network trunking mode".
The new models all run QNAP’s QTS 4.0 NAS OS that supports a wide array of iSCSI, virtualization, backup and cloud storage options.
The TS-470, TS-670 and TS-870 are shipping now at street pricing starting around $1200.
