QNAP Enterprise NAS

Die Firma QNAP hat mit der QuTS hero TVS-h1288X-W1250-16G ein Profi-NAS im Portfolio, welches in unserer Konfiguration mit einem 6 Kerne starken Intel-Xeon-Prozessor, 16 GB an DDR4-ECC-Arbeitsspeicher und 2,5GbE-, bzw. 10GbE-Anschlüssen ausgestattet ist. Wie sich das mit maximal zwölf Datenträgern bestückbare High-End-NAS schlägt, wollen wir uns in diesem Test genauer anschauen.

Continuing on with our WD Gold 22TB SMB performance series, we will look at how these enterprise-grade drives fare when populated inside the QNAP TVS-h1288X. In our last review, we were impressed with the results when combining the 22TB WD drives with the Synology DiskStation DS1821+. Configurations like these will certainly give businesses more flexibility in available storage and performance, as well as a smaller footprint to boot. We expect more of the same when using the TVS-h1288X.

The QNAP TVS-h1288x is a tower NAS with 12 bays on the front for plenty of storage. The little “h” indicates that this is a QuTS hero version of the NAS, meaning that it leverages ZFS and the enterprise features that come with ZFS. The NAS uses an Intel Xeon W processor and can support up to 128GB of DDR4 RAM and 10GbE connectivity for optimum performance. The NAS has a creative professional bent with support for Thunderbolt 3 ports and a 4K HDMI output.

The QNAP TS-h1283XU-RP is a rackmount 2U NAS based on the company’s QuTS Hero architecture. QNAP QuTS Hero is a new operating system that combines QTS with a 128-bit ZFS file system. QuTS Hero is aimed at optimizing performance and data protection. The new OS on the TS-h1283XU-RP NAS is said to deliver “server-grade performance” for use cases such as mission-critical file server, virtualization server, VDI, collaborative video editing, or efficient file backup and recovery applications.
