Description
TS-873AEU-RP-4G
Short Depth Rackmount dual-2.5GbE NAS. Powered by a Quad-core AMD Ryzen™ processor, supporting 10/25GbE or M.2 SSD caching PCIe expandability for virtual applications
(Supports QTS or QuTS hero operating systems)
Features
The compact 2U rackmount TS-873AeU-RP combines an AMD Ryzen™ V1000 series V1500B quad-core/eight-thread 2.2 GHz processor and dual-2.5GbE connectivity in one chassis. Compared to its previous generation, the TS-873AeU-RP is enhanced with two M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 1 ports for NVMe SSD cache acceleration or Edge TPU empowered AI image recognition. Cutting-edge hardware integrated with comprehensive software solutions makes the TS-873AeU-RP the preeminent choice to tackle resource-demanding applications and tasks, such as virtual machines or intensive multi-user access. The space-efficient short depth design of only 11.7 inches (297.4 mm) makes it easy to install in small media cabinets or places with a lot of cabling. The TS-873AeU-RP also features two redundant power supplies to ensure maximum system uptime.
- Dual-2.5GbE connectivity : Features two 2.5GbE ports. Up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds can be achieved by using port trunking.
- PCIe expandability : Features one PCIe Gen3 x 8 port. Add extra functionality with PCIe cards, including 10/25GbE ports, QM2, or Fibre Channel.
- Optimized SSD performance : Features two M.2 PCIe Gen3 ports to install NVMe SSDs and empower Qtier™ and SSD caching technology.
- Hybrid cloud storage : Supports block-based and file-based cloud storage gateways with local caching for low-latency access to cloud data.
- Virtual machine applications : Host multiple virtual machines and containers to run a wide range of applications.
- 2U Short depth design : The rackmount NAS has a short-depth design of only 30 cm. It is perfectly suited for installation in a compact rack, or places with a lot of cabling.

Yes To ensure data security, system stability, and storage performance, the maximum number of drives for a single RAID group is now 16 (applicable to RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID TP, and subgroups of RAID 50 and RAID 60). Nevertheless, users can combine multiple RAID groups into a large storage pool that contains more than 16 drives, using RAID 50, RAID 60, or RAID 10 as the RAID configuration. This enhancement will only be applied to new RAID groups. All existing RAID groups and storage systems will not be affected. |
