QNAP TVS-h874 8-Bay NAS Enclosure

The QNAP TVS-H874-I7-32G-US is an 8-bay network attached storage enclosure built around a 12th Generation Intel Core i7 processor with 12 cores and the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system. It delivers the speed, data integrity, and flexibility that creative studios, small and midsize businesses, and home lab enthusiasts need when multiple users work with large files at the same time.

Eight drive bays accept 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA hard drives or SSDs, so you can tailor capacity and performance to any workload. Two onboard M.2 NVMe slots let you create an all-flash pool for low latency databases or use them as cache to accelerate spinning disks, improving response time for tasks like 4K video editing or virtual machine storage.

Networking is handled by two 2.5 GbE ports that can be bonded for up to 5 Gbps of throughput or configured for failover to keep services online if a cable is unplugged. When your workflow demands even more bandwidth, the PCIe Gen 4 x16 and x4 slots give you room to add 10 GbE, 25 GbE, or Fibre Channel adapters without sacrificing existing ports.

QuTS hero protects data through inline deduplication, compression, and block-level snapshots that reduce storage footprint and enable rapid recovery from accidental changes or ransomware. SnapSync provides near real-time replication to another QNAP system or to the cloud, giving IT administrators an extra layer of business continuity.

For teams that transcode media or run GPU-accelerated applications, the enclosure supports optional graphics cards. An HDMI port driven by Intel UHD Graphics 770 can output 4K video directly to a display, useful for on-site monitoring or digital signage. The factory-installed 32 GB of DDR4 memory is user-upgradeable to 64 GB, leaving overhead for multiple virtual machines, containers, and heavy multi-user workloads.

Whether you are a video editor who wants to stream multiple ProRes timelines in real time, an IT manager consolidating virtualized servers, or a remote office that needs fast, automated backup to the cloud, the TVS-h874 provides the throughput, data services, and expandability to keep your projects moving and your information safe.
