QNAP TS-855X-8G 8 Bay tower NAS Intel
TS-855X
High-performance 8-core 10GbE NAS for hybrid infrastructure storage and high-speed virtualisation applications. The high-performance TS-855X has six 3.5-inch SATA drive bays (for HDDs), two 2.5-inch SATA drive bays (for SSDs) and an 8-core processor supporting Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT), significantly helping businesses deploy storage and data virtualisation environments. Built-in high-speed 10GbE/2.5GbE connectivity helps realise fast data access, backup/restore, file server and virtualisation applications. The TS-855X, which comes standard with the QTS operating system, can be switched to use the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system depending on user requirements. The TS-855X will be available and supported by QNAP for an extended period of time (until 2027), ideal for businesses requiring the deployment of matched NAS models in long-term projects.

Flexible storage expansion
Connect the TL-R1620Sep-RP / TL-R1220Sep-RP JBOD units to the TS-855X to provide additional capacity equal to 48 drives to meet growing business demands.
Flexible PCIe Gen3 expansion
Features two PCIe Gen 3 slots for installing 5/10/25GbE network cards, QM2 cards or Fibre Channel cards.
M.2 SSD cache
Two M.2 PCIe NVMe slots enable SSD caching, SSD memory pools or automatic Qtiering.
Virtual machines and containers
Host virtual machines and containerised applications on a single appliance to optimise resource utilisation and IT budget. SR-IOV support.
Comprehensive data backup and restoration
Reliable backup centre for PC/Mac, virtual machines, containers, cloud and SaaS data.
Superior 8-core performance with up to 128GB RAM, and Intel QuickAssist Technology
The TS-855X provides exceptional 8-core processor performance to handle multiple simultaneous tasks. AES-NI encryption and Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) is supported, which offloads resource-intensive compression and improves IPsec/SSL cryptography performance. The TS-855X is equipped with four DDR4 UDIMM slots (8GB pre-installed), which can be upgraded to 128GB ECC RAM for heavier workloads. Providing a combination of high performance, reliability and capacity, the TS-855X provides a versatile and affordable storage solution for a variety of applications such as file servers, high-speed storage/backup/restore and virtualisation.
You can create a high-speed 10GbE/2.5GbE network environment
Equipped with dual 2.5GbE RJ45 (2.5G/1G/100M) LAN ports and a 10GBASE-T (2.5G/1G/100M) port, the TS-855X meets the bandwidth and reliability requirements of business applications, including virtualisation, large file transfers, high-speed backup/restore and real-time applications. Combine dual 2.5GbE ports with SMB 3.0 Multichannel for up to 5Gb/s fault-tolerant connections! QNAP also offers a number of managed and unmanaged 2.5GbE/10GbE switches, providing organisations with the support to deploy high-speed, secure and scalable network environments without going over budget.
M.2 PCIe slots for SSD caching and accelerated image detection based on artificial intelligence
The TS-855X is equipped with two M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots to accommodate M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs (including SSD brands Micron, Seagate and WD) or Edge TPUs (sold separately) to enhance NAS performance.
Direct 2.5GbE connectivity to up to ten computers/workstations
If your team needs a high-speed environment and performance boost, the TS-855X with two 2.5GbE ports may be the solution. With the installation of two 4-port PCIe network adapters (QXG-2G4T-I225), the TS-855X can directly connect to up to ten computers/workstations without the required switches for faster transfer of large files/backup, video editing, etc.
