- 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.
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.
