QNAP TVS-675 6-Bay Dual 2.5GbE Tower NAS

Shared Storage with Room for Faster Workflows Give a busy team one organised place for project files, backups and shared media. The TVS-675 combines an eight-core x86 processor, six SATA drive bays and dual 2.5GbE networking in a desktop chassis. Dedicated M.2 slots and two PCIe slots let you plan SSD storage and supported network upgrades around the work, while QTS and QuTS hero provide a choice of storage-management platforms. Highlights A Practical Storage Foundation Six SATA bays for compatible hard drives or SSDs 8GB DDR4 supplied with supported expansion to 64GB Separate SSD and Network Paths Two M.2 slots accept compatible SATA or PCIe NVMe SSDs Two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots for supported expansion cards Useful Connections Dual 2.5GbE for compatible faster networks USB transfers and HDMI output for supported local applications Key Features Keep Shared Work Organised Centralise documents, media and backup jobs without placing every working copy on a separate computer. Individual accounts, shared-folder permissions and supported Windows AD or LDAP integration help administrators control access. The eight-core Zhaoxin processor and expandable memory support several services, but file access, backups and applications still share the same system resources. Give SSDs a Defined Role The dedicated M.2 slots support compatible SATA SSDs or PCIe NVMe SSDs for supported storage pools or cache arrangements. This leaves the six main bays available for the storage layout you choose. The NVMe connection is PCIe Gen 3 x1 per slot, so an SSD’s advertised peak speed is not the NAS slot speed. Shut the system down before installing or removing M.2 drives. Build the Network around the Workload Two 2.5GbE ports can improve transfers when the switch, client and storage support the same speed. Supported port aggregation helps distribute traffic across multiple connections; it does not turn an ordinary single client connection into a 5Gbps link. The two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots accept compatible network or storage cards, subject to card dimensions, drivers and QNAP’s compatibility list. Choose QTS or QuTS hero Deliberately QTS provides ext4-based storage, while supported QuTS hero installation offers ZFS-based data management. Switching operating systems erases and reinitialises storage, so make an independent backup first. QuTS hero needs at least 8GB RAM; inline deduplication requires at least 16GB. Choose the platform and memory configuration before loading production data. Run Useful Services without Losing Sight of Capacity Supported apps cover file synchronisation, backup, containers, virtual machines and multimedia. HDMI and the integrated graphics processor support appropriate local-display applications, with software and codec requirements checked separately. Virtual machines need their own licensed operating systems and sufficient RAM. Drives, expansion cards and any required licences are selected separately to suit the deployment. Plan Surveillance and Recovery Together A supported QVR installation can record compatible IP cameras while the NAS also provides storage services. Free recording channels, additional channel licences, camera bitrate and available processing power are separate considerations. Configure recording retention and keep important footage or business data on a separate backup target. Snapshots and RAID can support recovery, but neither replaces an independent copy. Summary The TVS-675 suits teams that want a flexible six-bay storage platform with separate SSD slots and a clear network expansion path. Select compatible drives, choose the storage operating system and size the memory, network and backup plan around the actual workload. Are Hard Drives and SSDs Included?ExpandCollapse No. The NAS is diskless. Choose compatible SATA hard drives or SSDs for the six main bays and compatible M.2 SATA or NVMe SSDs if needed. Check the exact drive model against the current QNAP compatibility list. Can I Use Both SATA and NVMe M.2 SSDs?ExpandCollapse The two dedicated M.2 2280 slots support compatible SATA 6Gb/s or PCIe Gen 3 x1 NVMe SSDs. Configure their storage or cache role for the selected operating system. M.2 drives are not hot-swappable. Can I Add 10GbE Later?ExpandCollapse A compatible PCIe network card can add faster networking. Check the exact card, operating system, available slot and size limits. The built-in ports remain two 2.5GbE connections; a 10GbE card is not included. Can I Upgrade the Memory or Change the Operating System?ExpandCollapse The supplied 8GB DDR4 configuration supports up to 64GB using supported matched modules. QTS and QuTS hero are supported, but changing systems erases and reinitialises storage. Back up first and meet the memory requirements of the selected features. Does RAID Replace a Backup?ExpandCollapse No. RAID can help availability after certain drive failures. It cannot provide an independent copy after accidental deletion, ransomware or loss of the NAS. Use supported snapshots where appropriate and keep a separate, tested backup. How Many Camera Channels Are Included?ExpandCollapse QVR Pro includes eight recording channels. Current QVR Surveillance has two standard channels plus six more after QNAP-ID activation, for eight in that application. They are separate entitlements, not sixteen for one recorder. Additional channels need matching licences, an application limit check and workload sizing. QVR Pro Client playback beyond fourteen days requires Gold or Unlimited Playback; this does not itself delete older recordings. 続きを読む
