QNAP NAS TBS-H574TX-I3-12G

Designed for film sets, small studios, small-scale video production teams and SOHO users, the compact TBS-h574TX Thunderbolt™ 4 all-flash NASbook elevates video production for optimum productivity. It packs high-speed I/O and Intel® Core™ performance required by video production, allowing creators using Mac® or Windows® to enjoy the smoothest experience ever in real-time video editing, large file transfer, video transcoding, and backup. The TBS-h574TX, as the bridge between pre-production and post-production, takes video projects and team collaboration to the next level. The TBS-h574TX runs the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system that ensures data integrity. You can also switch to QTS operating system based on your needs.

• Ultra-fast RAW file editing

  With an E1.S to M.2 SSD adapter attached in each slot, you can flexibly install five E1.S or M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs for lightning-fast multimedia file editing.

• Hybrid-architecture CPU for multitasking

  The 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with hybrid-architecture (P-core and E-core) delivers high performance and efficiency.

• Stay agile for ongoing projects

  Hot-swappable M.2 SSD and automatic RAID disk replacement enhance system reliability, reduce the risk of data loss, and smoothen ongoing projects.

• 2.5GbE and 10GbE as standard

  2.5GbE and 10GbE networks accelerate large file transfer and allow for more connected devices/workstations by attaching a network switch.

• Thunderbolt™ 4 for faster direct connections

  Two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports allow directly connecting Mac®/PC workstations to the TBS-h574TX, delivering up to 20Gbps for 4K video editing.

• Faster USB transfer

  Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports enable fast file import/export from/to external storage devices.

All-flash NASbook supporting E1.S/M.2 NVMe SSDs – a perfect companion for video production

Compared to large rackmount all-flash array storage, the TBS-h574TX all-flash NASbook features a compact, portable design with five SSD slots yet delivers extreme performance. It is the ideal choice to accelerate ongoing creative video projects from pre-production to post-production, and seamlessly works with USB DAS (TR-004) for file backup/archiving. The TBS-h574TX is always ready for your next project! An E1.S to M.2 SSD adapter is attached to each drive bay of the TBS-h574TX, providing great flexibility to choose between M.2 SSDs and E1.S SSDs on demand.

• M.2 NVMe SSD

  • Supports M.2 2280 modules
  • Smaller capacity but more available on the market
  • More affordable and more vendor options; suited for diverse applications
  • Faster than SATA SSDs
  • HS-M2SSD-07 or TPAD-M2SSD-04 thermal kit (optional purchase) is recommended for maximizing the M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD cooling efficiency for stable data transfer

  

• EDSFF E1.S SSD

  • Supports heights of 5.9mm / 9.5mm / 15mm
  • Larger capacity but less common on the market
  • Suited for high-intensity data transfer and is more future-proof
  • Compared to M.2 SSDs, E1.S SSDs are hot-swappable and have higher heat dissipation efficiency
  • Advanced power-loss protection (PLP) that prevents data loss
  • HS-M2SSD-07 heatsink (optional purchase) is recommended for maximizing the cooling efficiency of 5.9mm E1.S SSD to ensure stable data transfer

  

Maximize uptime with hot-swappable M.2 / E1.S SSD

Frontline video production teams are sometimes at risk of project interruptions due to unexpected SSD failures in storage devices. The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable SSDs, along with conditional automatic RAID replacement with spares. If an SSD enters a critical state, the system automatically moves data from the affected drive to a spare in the RAID group, seamlessly integrating it into the existing RAID without the need for RAID rebuilding, significantly reducing the risk of data loss.

• Hot-swappable M.2 SSD: Agile innovation

  An E1.S to M.2 adapter is attached in each slot, allowing M.2 SSDs to become hot-swappable. This enables replacing SSDs without downtime and enhances system maintenance flexibility.

• Hot-swappable E1.S SSD: Future-proof storage

  The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable E1.S SSDs, providing reliable high-density data transfer and making it perfect for accommodating future storage needs.

  

   

High-performance SSDs. Effective heat dissipation.

Designed with an excellent cooling system, the TBS-h574TX is equipped with dual fans and supports SSD heatsinks (heatsinks sold separately) to effectively enhance heat dissipation during intensive workloads, allowing creators to confidently enjoy the ultimate performance of SSD.

M.2 / E1.S SSD may overheat and suffer decreased performance during high-speed operations. It is recommended to purchase and install heatsinks on SSD controllers to enhance heat dissipation for stable high-speed transfer performance.

Thunderbolt™ 4 direct connection to workstations for higher productivity

The TBS-h574TX has two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports for high-speed data transfer (up to 20Gbps bandwidth). Mac® (including M1 and M2 chip models) or Windows® workstations can directly connect to the TBS-h574TX for fast and smooth real-time video editing, allowing for the transfer of a 1TB 4K video just in 11 minutes.

Notes:
• QNAP Thunderbolt NAS adopts Thunderbolt Networking for peer-to-peer connection, up to 20Gbps.
• Mac® system requirement: macOS 13.5 (or later)
• Connect the TBS-h574TX to your Mac® or Windows® PC with Thunderbolt™ 4 / Thunderbolt™ 3 cables and your connected devices with the Thunderbolt icon
