QNAP TS-873A 8-Bay NAS, Ryzen Embedded V1500B Quad-Core 2.2GHz, 8GB DDR4, Dual 2.5GbE, Diskless

QNAP TS-873A – flexible eight-bay business storage

The QNAP TS-873A suits small businesses and teams that need adaptable shared storage. Its eight drive bays and dual 2.5GbE ports provide room to grow, with faster network connections than standard 1GbE.

The essentials at a glance

Build storage around your needs

The eight bays support SATA HDDs and SSDs in 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch sizes. Choose from RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 or JBOD to suit your capacity and protection requirements. Online RAID expansion and migration help you adapt the array as your storage needs change.

The two M.2 NVMe slots can support SSD caching or Qtier auto-tiering. These options can help improve access to frequently used data, while larger HDDs provide capacity for less frequently accessed files.

Connect at 2.5GbE

Both Ethernet ports support speeds up to 2.5GbE. This can improve transfers when your network equipment also supports 2.5GbE. For faster storage or additional capabilities, two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots allow compatible expansion cards.

USB connections include three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. The NAS also supports backups to cloud services and iSCSI LUNs.

Manage files and protect data

QNAP’s QTS operating system supports file management, access permissions and backup tools. The NAS also supports QuTS hero, QNAP’s ZFS-based operating system, with features such as data integrity checks and data reduction.
