The end is nigh for the 5-bay NAS as the 9-bay multimedia NAS with 10GbE connectivity with hybrid storage structure ideally suited for small business and organizations wanting to increase data access efficiency, network transmission speed and to meet demands of mission-critical tasks.

The core of the TS-963X is designed with the AMD quad-core 2.0 GHz processor, up to 8 GB RAM (upgradeable to 16 GB), and 10GBASE-T connectivity supporting five connection speeds (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M). The same size as a 5-bay the TS-963xs accommodates five 3.5-inch HDD bays and four 2.5-inch SSDs bays that deliver high-performance, high-capacity storage potential including automatic file/data tiering based on access frequency (Qtier Technology)

[NOTE][NOTE]: There is a clear path for converting to 10GbE when you invest in a QNAP with the combination of either the 8-port or 12-port switch and using existing cabling to take advantage of higher network speeds with your existing Cat 5e and 6a cables.

QNAP has recently launched 12-port (QSW-1208-4C) and 8-port (QSW-804-4C) 10GbE unmanaged switches allowing you to instantly upgrade your network environment at a cost-effective price. The QSW-804-4C supports 10GBASE-T and NBASE-T standards, allowing you to take advantage of higher network speeds with your existing Cat 5e and 6a cables. Both SFP+ (fiber) and RJ45 (copper) ports are available (with 4 combo ports) for servicing a range of network needs. Compliant with IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet, EEE), the QSW-804-4C is energy efficient as well. With high performance, low latency and superb functionality, the QSW-804-4C is the ideal choice for upgrading your home or business network to support 10GbE connections.

• With NBASE-T support, existing cables can be used. Backward compatibility is provided for legacy devices
• With a combination of SFP+ (fiber) and RJ45 (copper) ports, most devices can take advantage of 10GbE connectivity provided by the QSW-804-4C.
• IEEE 802.3az (EEE) helps to reduce power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections.

QNAP QSW-804-4C – 8-port 10GbE Switch

The 8-port QSW-804-4C switch offers four SFP+ (fiber) ports and four SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports for connecting different interfaces to the same switch. With RJ45 interfaces, 10 GbE is supported with Cat 6a (or above) cables. Alternatively, direct attach copper (DAC) cables can be used with SFP+ ports for connecting to servers inside a rack. The switching capacity of the QSW-804-4C is 160 Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port

 

QNAP QSW-1208-8C – 12-port 10GbE Switch

The 12-port QSW-1208-8C switch offers four SFP+ (fiber) ports and eight SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports for connecting different interfaces to the same switch. With RJ45 interfaces, 10 GbE is supported with Cat 6a (or above) cables. Alternatively, direct attach copper (DAC) cables can be used with SFP+ ports for connecting to servers inside a rack.

One of the most featured connectivity options currently offered on a 9-bay combo NAS currently available on the market.
