QNAP TS-h987XU-RP 9-Bay 1U Hybrid Rackmount NAS

Hybrid Storage Without a Full-Height Server The QNAP TS-h987XU-RP brings Intel Xeon processing, ECC memory and a mixed SATA/NVMe drive layout into a 1U rackmount chassis. Four larger SATA bays sit alongside five 2.5-inch NVMe/SATA positions, allowing compatible drive groups to serve different storage roles without presenting every bay as interchangeable. Highlights Hybrid Drive Layout Four SATA HDD/SSD bays plus five 2.5-inch NVMe/SATA bays Different PCIe generations and lane widths across the NVMe positions Business Connectivity Dual10GBASE-T and dual 2.5GbE built in One PCIe Gen 4x8 slot for a verified supported upgrade Operational Foundation Intel Xeon E-2334 processing with ECC DDR4 Redundant power supplies and a five-year warranty Key Features Put Each Drive Type to Work Use the SATA bays for a compatible capacity-oriented drive group and the NVMe/SATA positions for an appropriate SSD role. The SSD bays have different PCIe links and a manufacturer-listed height limit, so confirm the exact SSD before ordering. Keep HDD and SSD RAID-group design aligned with QNAP’s requirements. A ZFS Storage Foundation QuTS hero adds ZFS integrity checks, compression, snapshots and supported data-protection functions to the storage design. Deduplication and application workloads need sufficient memory and careful sizing. QTS is an alternative supported operating-system path, with its own filesystem and application behaviour. Use the Included Network Ports First Dual10GBASE-T and dual 2.5GbE provide a useful network foundation for shared files, backups and supported virtualised storage. The optional PCIe slot can support approved expansion hardware, but one installed card can remove the opportunity for another. Match the complete storage, network and expansion design to the available slot. Maintain a Clear Service Plan Two power supplies provide redundancy when connected and configured appropriately. They do not replace independent power protection or a separate backup. The optional RAIL-B02 kit is the verified mounting recommendation; rack post spacing and hole requirements must match the rail kit. Expand Through a Verified Route Supported USB, SATA JBOD, SAS and PCIe expansion models provide different capacity paths. Each uses its own controller, cable, BIOS and operating-system requirements. The maximum enclosure counts are per expansion type, rather than a promise that every listed type can be combined at once. Summary The TS-h987XU-RP suits a rack installation that needs a clear separation between capacity storage and SSD workloads, with Xeon processing, ECC memory and included 10GbE. Confirm the SSD height, bay interface, rail arrangement and any expansion card before completing the configuration. Frequently Asked Questions Are Drives Included?ExpandCollapse No. This is a diskless NAS. 4 × 3.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD bays plus 5 × 2.5-inch U.2/U.3 NVMe or SATA SSD bays; 2.5-inch SSD height maximum 7 mm. Choose the exact drive and firmware from QNAP’s compatibility list, and plan usable capacity after RAID and system overhead. Which Network Connections Are Included?ExpandCollapse 2 × 10GBASE-T RJ45 (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) plus 2 × 2.5GbE RJ45. Interface speed does not guarantee file-transfer speed; clients, switches, cabling, drives and competing workloads all matter. Which Expansion Units Can I Use?ExpandCollapse up to 2 × TL-D800C, TL-R1200C-RP, TR-002, TR-004, TR-004U. up to 1 × TL-D400S, TL-D800S, TL-D1600S, TL-R400S, TL-R1200S-RP. SATA units require the matching QXP host controller and SFF-8088 cabling. Counts are per enclosure type, not additive when mixing. Cards, cables, enclosure and drives are separate; validate NAS, slot, BIOS and OS together. How Many Cameras Can It Record?ExpandCollapse QNAP’s QTS recording-only selector estimates 86 QVR Surveillance channels with the installed 16 GB memory and four SATA drives in RAID 5; SSD positions not included in this estimate. The test scenario is 1080p, H.264,30fps and 4.096Mb/s per camera, without playback or AI analytics. This is a planning estimate, not a tested or guaranteed maximum. QVR Surveillance includes 2 channels plus 6 after registration; compatible paid licences are required above 8. QVR Pro separately includes 8 channels on supported QTS installations. Expanded QVR Surveillance channels on QuTS hero remain listed as developing; do not apply this QTS estimate to a QuTS hero deployment. Are the Rails and Expansion Cards Included?ExpandCollapse RAIL-B02 is an optional separate mounting kit. Other expansion controllers are also optional. Select the rail kit for the rack post spacing and mounting holes, and check the single PCIe slot before adding a controller. Does RAID Replace a Backup?ExpandCollapse No. RAID can provide drive redundancy when configured correctly, but it cannot prevent every deletion, malware event, theft or enclosure failure. Keep an independent current backup and test that important files can be restored. 더 보기
