QNAP TS-h1887XU-RP 18-Bay NAS Enclosure

The QNAP TS-H1887XU-RP-E2336-32G-US is a rackmount NAS with 18 drive bays that gives growing businesses and enterprise departments a reliable way to consolidate, protect, and accelerate their data.

At its core, a 2.9 GHz Intel Xeon E-2336 processor and 32 GB of error-correcting memory handle demanding workloads such as virtualization, large file sharing, and multi-stream media editing. Memory expansion up to 128 GB is available when heavier multitasking or larger virtual machine sets become necessary.

The chassis includes 12 bays that accept traditional hard drives for economical capacity and six bays that accept solid state drives for tiering or dedicated flash pools. Administrators can enable SSD caching to raise IOPS for databases or virtual desktops without giving up the raw volume needed for archives and backups.

QuTS hero, the operating system that runs on a ZFS file system, brings inline deduplication, compression, and near-instant snapshots. These features reduce storage footprints, guard against data corruption, and make point-in-time recovery straightforward, which is crucial for disaster-recovery planning and ransomware mitigation.

Networking is covered by two 10 GbE ports and two 2.5 GbE ports, so the system can sit on high-speed backbones while still connecting to legacy switches or client workstations. Two PCIe Gen 4 slots are available for future needs such as faster network adapters, additional SSD caching cards, or a modest GPU to accelerate certain container workloads.

For organizations that expect growth, the TS-h1887XU-RP works with QNAP expansion units, letting administrators scale capacity without replacing the initial investment. It is a solid fit for virtual machine storage, 4K video post-production, branch-office backup, and any scenario that depends on consistent throughput and strong data protection.
