Key Features
Flash Storage Where Space Matters
A single rack unit holds ten SSDs, allowing an all-flash pool without allocating a large chassis. Choose qualified U.2 NVMe SSDs for PCIe connectivity or supported SATA SSDs to suit the storage design. This model does not accept hard disk drives.
Enterprise Processing and a Clear Configuration Choice
The Configuration selector identifies processor core class and installed memory together. Eight-core versions use an EPYC 7232P or manufacturer-qualified 7252 revision; sixteen-core versions use EPYC 7302P. Confirm the exact supplied revision before fulfilment when the processor model is a project requirement.
Networking Beyond a Single Workstation
Dual SFP28 25GbE links provide connection options for a compatible storage network, while separate 2.5GbE ports can serve management or additional networks. Switches, transceivers, cables and end-to-end network design must support the selected link speed.
Protection Built into the Storage Workflow
Use snapshots, replication and backup jobs together to support recovery from accidental changes and equipment failures. ZFS checksums, RAID and ECC memory help protect the storage platform, but an independent backup remains essential for important data.
Summary
The TS-h1090FU is a compact all-flash platform for organisations that need enterprise processing, SSD flexibility and high-speed network access in a 1U rack. Plan the SSDs, network links, RAID groups and independent backup together for the intended workload.

| Security | Access controls, 2-step verification, network access protection and supported firewall/security applications. QuTS hero supports AES-256 folder encryption; QTS volume-encryption availability depends on the chosen installation. |
| Surveillance | |
| Included Camera Channels | QVR Surveillance: 2 included plus 6 claimable after registration, for 8 free channels on supported installations. QVR Pro: 8 included on supported QTS installations. QVR Surveillance deployments above 8 channels require compatible paid channel licences; verify OS and app availability. |
| QVR Surveillance Recording Capacity | QNAP selector planning output on QTS: 185 recording channels for the listed configurations. |
| Recording Estimate Conditions | 1920 × 1080, H.264, 30fps, approximately 4.096Mb/s per camera; recording only, without local playback or AI. Selector assumes 10 storage drives in RAID 6. This is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed camera maximum; other workloads, drives, retention and network conditions affect capacity. |
| QVR Pro Application Ceiling | Up to 128 licensed channels for compatible 64-bit x86 QTS installations; this is the software ceiling, not a measured rating for this NAS. Minimum 4GB RAM; 8GB recommended. Additional channel licences are separate. |
