QNAP TVS-882ST3-I7-16G-US TVS-882ST3 8-Bay NAS Enclosure QNAP Outlet Sale

Powered by an energy-efficient 6th Generation 14nm 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ Quad-Core processor and dual-channel 16GB DDR4 RAM (upgradable up to 32GB), the TVS-882ST3 provides two Thunderbolt 3 ports along with 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 connectivity as a powerful storage center to accelerate data transfer and performance-demanding workflows. Featuring eight 2.5″ drive bays and supporting SATA III 6 Gb/s drives, the TVS-882ST3 is compact and well-suited for using an all-SSD configuration for extreme performance.

The TVS-882ST3 is a good match for Thunderbolt 3-capable MacBook Pro systems and is backward-compatible with Mac Pro and iMac systems featuring Thunderbolt 2 via a Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) to Thunderbolt 2 converter. The higher bandwidth is especially suited for creative professionals and enthusiasts from photographers and filmmakers to graphic designers who focus more on 4K or 3D workflows. Final Cut Pro X 10.3 adds support for the SMB protocol, allowing you to easily store files in the TVS-882ST3 and share files with Windows and other devices using Thunderbolt, 10GbE, or 1GbE connections. While up to 2 Thunderbolt devices can connect to the TVS-882ST3 to process real-time video editing simultaneously, the TVS-882ST3 provides a suitable storage solution with performance to increase productivity in multi-workstation environments.

USB 3.1, also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2, provides speeds up to 10 Gb/s – double that of USB 3.0 – to further boost data transfer performance. The TVS-882ST3 comes with one USB 3.1 Type-C port and one USB 3.1 Type-A port, providing greater flexibility and ensuring future-proof compatibility with USB devices. The front USB 3.1 Type-C port provides one-touch copy functionality that allows you to quickly back up files, while the rear USB 3.1 Type-A port is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 drives.

The TVS-882ST3 provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports and dual-port 10GbE 10GBASE-T connectivity to provide connectivity for conventional and high-speed 10GbE networks, making it especially useful for companies and organizations looking to future proof their IT infrastructure and for users with 10GbE networks to supercharge bandwidth-demanding tasks such as virtualization and intensive backup/restoration.

As Apple computers do not natively support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Mac users previously needed to purchase a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to high-speed Ethernet networks. The Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet (T2E) allows computers without Ethernet ports (such as the MacBook Pro) to access 10GbE network resources over a Thunderbolt connection to the TVS-882ST3. This saves users from having to buy adapters or converters and greatly streamlines the connectivity process.

The TVS-882ST3 can simultaneously run general Ethernet services in addition to the Thunderbolt 3 network, completely independently and with no bandwidth interference. As an NAS that combines Thunderbolt, NAS, and iSCSI SAN into one box, the TVS-882ST3 prevents the restriction of DAS connecting to only one device and breaks the cost barrier for creating 10GbE high-speed network environments.
