AMD Ryzen quad-core 2.2 GHz 2.5 GbE NAS supports M.2 NVMe SSD and PCIe expansion for adding 10 GbE high-speed connectivity and M.2 SSD; QTS and QuTS hero dual operating system for greater flexibility.
Switch operating systems for optimal data integrity and reliability
The TS-473A also supports QuTS hero - QNAP's ZFS-based NAS operating system. Providing end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression and compaction), and much more, QuTS hero uses additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.
Improve random data access speeds with an SSD cache
SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-demanding applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflows.
Maximize the value of SSDs with Qtier technology
Qtier technology empowers the TS-473A with auto-tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs based on the data's access frequency. Qtier 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSDs.
PCIe expansion
The TS-473A features two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots that allow for various expansion cards for expanding application potential.
