QNAP TVS-h474 4-Bay 2.5GbE Tower NAS

Business Storage with Room for Faster Workflows The QNAP TVS-h474 combines four SATA drive bays, two M.2 NVMe slots and dual 2.5GbE networking in a desktop enclosure. Its Intel processor and expandable DDR4 memory support shared files, backup, media workflows and selected virtualisation applications without requiring a rack. Choose the processor and installed memory configuration that suits the intended workload. QuTS hero provides ZFS-based storage protection, while PCIe expansion offers a route to compatible faster networking or other supported cards when the wider system is ready. Highlights Four hot-swappable SATA drive bays plus two M.2 2280 NVMe slots Intel Pentium Gold or Core i3 configuration, selected explicitly Two built-in 2.5GbE ports; 10GbE and 25GbE require optional adapters PCIe Gen4 x16 and Gen3 x2 slots for compatible expansion HDMI output and three-year warranty Key Features A Compact Hybrid Storage Layout Use qualified SATA HDDs or SATA SSDs in the four main bays and compatible M.2 NVMe SSDs in the internal slots. SSD use as a storage pool or cache depends on the operating system and storage design. The M.2 modules are not hot-swappable. Processor Choice Without Ambiguity The Pentium Gold G7400 configuration provides two cores and four threads; Core i3-12100 provides four cores and eight threads. The selector names the processor and installed memory together so two offers with the same RAM are not confused. Start at 2.5GbE and Expand Deliberately Two RJ45 2.5GbE ports are built in. Faster 10GbE or 25GbE networking is optional through a compatible PCIe adapter, rather than part of the base specification. Match the switch, cabling and storage performance to any upgrade. Storage Services Beyond a Shared Folder Use snapshots and backup jobs to support recovery, iSCSI for compatible hosts and supported application packages for virtual machines or containers. Allocate memory and storage resources for the actual workload and keep important data backed up independently. Summary The TVS-h474 provides a flexible four-bay business NAS with M.2 SSD positions, built-in 2.5GbE and PCIe expansion. Select the processor configuration, then plan the drives, backup destination and any network upgrades around the way the system will be used. Frequently Asked Questions Which configuration should I choose?ExpandCollapse Use the Configuration selector to choose the processor class and installed memory together. Size the CPU, RAM, drives and networking for the actual applications and number of users. The SKU shown for your selection identifies the exact configured offer. Which drives can I install?ExpandCollapse 4 × 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s bays supporting qualified 3.5-inch HDDs or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs; drives separate. Check each exact drive against QNAP’s compatibility list before ordering; usable capacity depends on the RAID and file-system design. Are the advertised network ports built in?ExpandCollapse 2 × 2.5GbE RJ45 ports. 10GbE or 25GbE requires a compatible optional PCIe adapter. Transceivers, network cables, switches and optional adapters are separate unless explicitly included. How many surveillance camera licences are included?ExpandCollapse On a supported QVR Surveillance installation, two camera channels are included and six more can be claimed after registration, giving eight free channels. QVR Pro offers eight included channels on supported QTS configurations. Extra-channel availability depends on the NAS and QVR version; confirm compatibility and licensing before planning beyond the free entitlement. Camera count also depends on bitrate, resolution, recording settings, storage and other workloads. Can this NAS run virtual machines and containers?ExpandCollapse Supported Virtualization Station and Container Station packages provide virtual machine and container functions. Virtualization Station requires at least 4GB RAM and Container Station at least 1GB; these are installation minimums, not a workload sizing recommendation. Allocate additional resources for the guest systems and NAS services. Does RAID replace an independent backup?ExpandCollapse No. RAID helps with selected drive failures, while snapshots can recover earlier versions under the right conditions. Neither is a complete independent backup. Keep a separate, current backup and test restoration; ransomware, deletion, theft or damage can affect data that remains only on the NAS. 더 보기
