Designed for data backups, recovery and virtualized storage needs of SMBs, the TS-431X3 4-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP uses a built-in 10GbE SFP+ port to provide high bandwidth for intensive data transmissions. Coupled with the QNAP 10GbE switch, you can build a high-speed 10GbE network environment. The TS-431X3 also features a 2.5GbE RJ45 port and a 1GbE RJ45 port for enhanced team file sharing and collaboration efficiency. This NAS provides comprehensive local, off-site, and cloud backup along with secure Snapshot technology to help create a reliable backup and disaster recovery plan. In the event of a system crash or accidental file deletion, you can quickly restore the system to its normal state.
The TS-431X3 is powered by a 1.7 GHz Annapurna Labs AL-314 Quad-Core processor, which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. The 4GB of DDR3 RAM can be upgraded to 8GB using its one SO-DIMM slot and will allow quick access to frequently used file and programs. Network connectivity is achieved using one 2.5GbE port and one Gigabit Ethernet port, which support failover and dual IP. There is also support for JBOD, single disk, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, each of which offers a combination of performance, redundancy, or a combination of both.
This 4-bay enclosure has the ability to natively house both 3.5″ and 2.5″ SATA III 6 Gb/s and SATA II 3 Gb/s hard drives or SSDs, and screws are included that accommodate each drive size. Using the three USB 3.0 Type-A ports this QNAP NAS can be connected to other devices, such as QNAP expansion units. To bolster security, AES 256-bit encryption helps to prevent sensitive business data from unauthorized access and breaches.
