QNAP Reveal Cost-efficient 10 GbE-ready TS-432X and TS-632X Tower NAS

QNAP has just revealed two new entry-level business NAS models, which are sure to appeal to the home networking enthusiasts too. The new units are the 4-bay TS-432X and the 6-bay TS-632X. While they’ve been designed to appeal to personal studio and SMBs, they’re ultra-fast networking is sure to please content creators, or those with growing workgroups and collaboration projects.

Featuring the latest quad-core processor, high-speed 2.5GbE/10GbE ports, and PCIe expansion capabilities, both new models excel in performance and versatility to streamline multi-device file backups, data security, and file management while also simplifying data storage, search, and sharing tasks.

For me personally, creating high resolution and high refresh rate video content, these are obviously appealing to me. However, they’re also looking like great options for my in-house Plex server, where streaming multiple 4K video files and transcoding will be made easier. Plus, I have 8000/8000 (8 Gigabit) fibre broadband, so having a NAS that can keep pace with the rest of my network absolutely makes sense.

Andy Chuang, Product Manager of QNAP, stated “With the rising popularity of 10GbE applications, the TS-432X and TS-632X offer ideal solutions for small to medium-sized businesses seeking smaller-capacity 10GbE NAS options. Users can benefit from a versatile storage solution featuring multiple LAN ports and PCIe expandability, all within a modest budget.”

Equipped with built-in 10GbE SFP+ network ports, the TS-432X and TS-632X enable higher bandwidth for seamless large file transfers and intensive data access. Businesses can further leverage QNAP’s 10GbE SFP+ network switches to affordably upgrade network environments. Both models support JBOD storage expansion to accommodate growing data.

Providing full backup support, the TS-432X and TS-632X helps users safeguard data from diverse devices and sources, including Windows /Mac computer files, WordPress sites, Google Photos, and Google Workspace /Microsoft 365 SaaS backups. It is also recommended to regularly create NAS snapshots and execute remote backup to the immutable myQNAPcloud Storage for disaster recovery preparedness to mitigate ransomware threats.

The TS-432X and TS-632X supports VPN and firewall security features to enhance data and system protection. More install-on-demand applications are available from the built-in App Center: QVR Surveillance Solution empowers the NAS as a comprehensive video surveillance system; Container Station enables the NAS to host Docker applications, while a wide range of apps are accessible from the Docker Hub online marketplace.
