Overview
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.
  • Both 2.5 GbE ports are backwards compatible with 1 GbE / 100 MbE speeds
  • Add extra functionality with PCIe cards, including 10 GbE ports, SSD caching, extra USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, wireless networking, or Fibre Channel
  • Supports NVIDIA graphics cards for video processing or GPU-passthrough to VMs
  • Features two M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD slots for Qtier technology and SSD caching
  • Host containerized applications and virtual machines with various operating systems
  • Features QTS operating system and supports switching to ZFS-based QuTS hero for greater reliability
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.
