Specs
QNAP TS-h1677AXU-RP 16-Bay Rackmount NAS
The QNAP TS-h1677AXU-RP is a 3U rackmount NAS with 16 hot-swappable SATA bays and two separate M.2 NVMe slots. AMD Ryzen processing, DDR5 memory, dual 10GBASE-T ports and redundant power supplies support managed business storage and suitably resourced applications. QuTS hero provides ZFS data services, with QTS available as an alternative. Select qualified drives and compatible upgrades for the actual workload, and allow the rack space, cooling and recovery resources required by the complete installation.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Hardware and connectivity | |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 7 7000 series, 8 cores/16 threads, burst up to 5.3GHz; x86-64; AES-NI; integrated Radeon graphics. |
| Factory memory | 32GB DDR5 UDIMM, non-ECC. |
| Memory expansion | 4 DDR5 UDIMM slots; maximum 192GB using 4 × 48GB. Compatible ECC is optional; use identical supported modules for paired configurations and do not mix ECC with non-ECC. |
| System flash | 8GB with dual-boot OS protection. |
| SATA bays | 16 × SATA 6Gb/s bays for qualified 3.5-inch HDDs or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs; hot-swappable. No direct SAS or U.2 NVMe support. |
| M.2 storage | 2 × M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen5 x2 slots; compatible PCIe Gen3 and newer NVMe drives subject to qualification. Storage/cache support depends on OS and configuration; not hot-swappable. |
| Network interfaces | 2 × 10GBASE-T RJ45 plus 2 × 2.5GBASE-T RJ45; compatible 25GbE adapters are optional. |
| PCIe slots | 3 slots: slot 1 Gen4 x4; slot 2 Gen4 x8 when slot 1 is unused, otherwise x4; slot 3 Gen4 x4. Check card dimensions, brackets, adjacent-slot clearance and remaining lanes. |
| USB ports | 2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps. |
| Display capability | Integrated Radeon graphics does not mean a built-in HDMI connector; display or GPU applications require a supported complete configuration. |
| Storage and software | |
| Operating system | QuTS hero with ZFS supplied; QTS with EXT4 is available as an alternative. Changing OS requires an independent backup and storage reinitialisation. |
| Snapshots and recovery | Supported shared-folder/volume and block-LUN snapshots, retention, cloning and replication; QuTS hero SnapSync requires a compatible target and deliberate recovery configuration. |
| Data protection | ZFS checksums, supported self-healing, compression and WORM retention. Inline deduplication requires at least 16GB RAM; 32GB or more is recommended. These functions do not replace an independent backup. |
| Backup and synchronisation | Hybrid Backup Sync for supported NAS, USB, remote and cloud destinations; Qsync for compatible clients. Third-party services may require separate subscriptions. |
| File services and permissions | SMB, NFS, FTP/SFTP, directory integration, shared-folder permissions, Windows ACL and encrypted connections. |
| Accounts and shared folders | QuTS hero up to 16,000 local users, 512 groups and 256 shared folders; QTS up to 4,096 users, 512 groups and 512 shared folders. These are software limits, not simultaneous-workload promises. |
| iSCSI storage | Thick/thin block-based LUNs, supported snapshots, host integration and multipath. Availability and limits depend on the installed OS, application and complete host configuration. |
| Virtualisation and containers | Virtualization Station and Container Station for supported guests/images; reserve sufficient CPU/RAM for the storage and backup workload. |
| RAID layouts | QuTS hero Single, RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and applicable triple mirror/triple parity; QTS also supports JBOD. Minimum drive counts, OS rules and separate storage roles apply. |
| RAID group limit | New parity RAID groups and RAID 50/60 subgroups are limited to 16 drives. Use a valid multiple-group layout for larger expansion arrays. |
| Concurrent SMB connections | Up to 5,000 with maximum memory; actual achievable workload depends on resources and configuration. |
| Surveillance | |
| Included camera channels | QVR Pro on supported QTS includes 8 channels; its x86 application ceiling is 128, not a recording-performance guarantee. QVR Surveillance provides 2 base channels plus 6 after eligible registration, giving 8 total. Extra channels need the appropriate licences and supported application/OS. |
| Recording capacity | QVR Surveillance QTS planning estimate up to 262 recording channels for the supplied configuration, using 16 SATA drives in RAID 6. |
| Capacity conditions | QVR Surveillance QTS recording-only planning estimate at 1080p H.264, 30 fps and 4.096Mb/s per camera, using the stated SATA RAID 6 group; no AI analysis or local playback. It is not a certified fixed maximum. Drives, retention, network and concurrent workloads affect capacity. |
| Operating-system distinction | The figures above are QTS planning estimates, not QuTS hero recording guarantees. Verify extra-channel availability, application version and licences on the chosen OS before deployment. |
| Compatible expansion | |
| USB enclosures | Up to 2 × TL-D800C or TL-R1200C-RP; up to 2 × TR-002, TR-004 or TR-004U. TR hardware RAID enclosures use separate pools/volumes and do not extend the internal RAID group. |
| SATA enclosures | Up to 2 × TL-D400S, TL-D800S, TL-D1600S, TL-R400S or TL-R1200S-RP. Use QXP-400eS-A1164 for TL-D400S/TL-R400S, QXP-800eS-A1164 for TL-D800S, or QXP-1600eS-A1164 for TL-D1600S/TL-R1200S-RP, with enclosure-specific SFF-8088/SFF-8644 cables. Check card fit and available slots. |
| SAS enclosures | Up to 16 × TL-R1220Sep-RP or TL-R1620Sep-RP, or 4 × TL-R6020Sep-RP, using a compatible QNAP SAS HBA such as QXP-1630S-3816 or QXP-820S-B3408, with external SFF-8644 cables. Enclosure, memory, card-fit and topology requirements apply. |
| PCIe enclosures | Up to 8 × TL-R1200PES-RP, TL-R1600PES-RP or TL-R2400PES-RP with compatible QXP-3X4PES and dedicated CAB-PCIE10M-8644-4X cabling. QTS/QuTS hero 5.1.2 or later is required; slot 2 lane width depends on slot 1 use. Dedicated PCIe cables are not generic SAS cables. |
| Expansion planning | Per-type limits are not additive. Verify host compatibility, enclosure memory, PCIe lanes, topology and exact cables. External enclosure support does not change the internal drive interface. |
| Physical and electrical | |
| Form factor | 3U rackmount. |
| Dimensions H × W × D | 131.3 × 482.2 × 550.8mm, excluding ear hooks and PSU protrusions. |
