The TS-832X 8-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP has been built with two 10GbE SFP+ ports to fully support 10GbE networks at a more cost-effective price. It is also an ARM-based NAS that supports Qtier technology for efficient auto-tiered storage. Its PCIe slots increases its application potential, as users can install QNAP's QWA-AC2600 PCIe wireless network card to create a wireless base station that allows devices to directly connect for user-friendly access to its services and network connection.
This NAS is powered by a 1.7 GHz Alpine AL-324 Quad-Core processor and 8GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM, which can be upgraded to 16GB. The dual 10GbE ports drive non-encrypted read speeds of up to 2300 MB/s and write speeds of up to 756 MB/s, while transferring files with encryption allows for read speeds of up to 1187 MB/s and write speeds of 467 MB/s. There are also two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
This 8-bay enclosure can natively house both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA III hard drives and SSDs. When equipped with SSDs, users will have the option to take advantage of SSD caching to improve the workflow of random IOPS-demanding applications. Using the three 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports, this QNAP NAS can be connected to other QNAP devices, including two UX-800P or UX-500P expansion enclosures. Additionally, the TS-832X is validated with FIPS 140-2 AES 256-bit encryption, helping to prevent sensitive business data from unauthorized access and breaches.
QNAP has engineered this NAS to support JBOD and single disk modes, plus a variety of RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and + hot spare, each of which offer data redundancy, speed, or a combination of both. It operates using a 250W power supply and includes two Ethernet cables, a power cord, flat head screws for 3.5" HDDs, and flat head screws for 2.5" HDDs. Protection is provided by a limited 2-year warranty.

10GbE Adapters
Support fast throughput for bandwidth-demanding tasks such as fast backup/restoration for an ever-growing amount of data and virtualization.
QM2 M.2 SSD/10GbE PCIe Cards
Add M.2 SSD caching or 10GbE (10GBASE-T) connectivity to the NAS to enjoy improved performance.
10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cards
USB 3.1, also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2, provides faster maximum speeds of 10 Gb/s - double that of USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) - to greatly boost data transfer performance, allowing compatibility with faster USB devices for transferring large-sized media files.
Wireless Network Cards
Use WirelessAP Station along with a PCIe wireless network card (for example: QNAP QWA-AC2600) to transform the NAS into a convenient wireless base station, allowing network resources of the NAS to be shared with multiple devices.

SSD Caching and Auto Tiering Enable Optimized Storage Efficiency
The TS-832X supports SSD caching to improve the workflow of random IOPS-demanding applications. Qtier Technology empowers the TS-832X with automatic tiering that continuously optimizes storage utilization across high-performance SSD and high-capacity SATA drives. 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 SSD.
Snapshots - A Modern Way to Protect Data
Essential for NAS data protection, snapshots help protect your data by fully recording the NAS system state and the metadata. You can use the Storage & Snapshots Manager or File Station to manage snapshots and restore the system to its normal state if an error occurs. QNAP snapshots are block-based and only record the changed data. Not only does this save storage space, but also reduces the time required to back up and restore data.
Upgrade Your IT Environment with QNAP's 10GbE Switch
QNAP 10GbE/NBASE-T unmanaged switches allow you to instantly upgrade your network environment at a cost-effective price. With a 10GbE network, you can enjoy fast transfer speeds, empower bandwidth-demanding tasks like virtualization, and enable simultaneous real-time access to large NAS-based files using multiple workstations (good for video editing and multimedia). QNAP also provides a 10GbE PCIe network expansion card for Windows/Linux systems to take advantage of high-speed LAN environments.
Host Container Applications
Container Station integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. You can download apps from the built-in Docker Hub to import/export container apps and manage access controls, enjoying the benefit of easy installation, transferability, and high-efficiency, as well as rapidly deploying application services across several platforms including the cloud, servers, and PCs.
QTS NAS Operating System
With multiple modularized applications and functions, QTS enhances management efficiency, personal productivity, multimedia, and much more, making your NAS experience easier, efficient, and more flexible. The built-in App Center, with hundreds of install-on-demand apps, also opens up vast potential for extensive NAS functionality. Qboost provides a NAS optimization tool that helps accelerate applications, free up system resources, and schedule applications.
Optimized Collaboration with Seamless File Sharing and Sync
The TS-832X centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX networks. Coupled with Qsync (a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a safe, high-capacity data center for file synchronization), files uploaded to the TS-832X will be made available for linked devices, such as computers, laptops, and mobile devices. You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. Files can be centrally managed using File Station, including files from mobile devices and optical disc drives. File Station also allows you to mount a remote NAS, and transfer files between your NAS and public cloud services for greater convenience.

Expand Storage Capacity of Other QNAP NAS with Virtual JBOD
QNAP VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) is network-based JBOD, allowing you to expand the storage capacity of your QNAP NAS with unused storage space from other QNAP NAS. The unused storage capacity of the TS-832X can be mounted as local disks in other NAS, and you can create virtual storage pools and volumes for operating NAS services to maximize storage utilization.
Note: ARM-based NAS do not currently support the VJBOD "Host" function to utilize other NAS storage space.
