QNAP TS-432PXU-2G
QNAP TS-432PXU-2G
The QNAP TS-432PXU-2G serves as a rack-mounted network storage solution for storing, backing up, and sharing data on a corporate network. The device uses a quad-core Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-324 1.7GHz processor and contains four bays for hard drives or SSDs. The integrated SFP+ and RJ45 ports support high-speed data transfers on the local network, making team collaboration on large files easier. The QTS operating system provides tools for managing user rights and applications.
Key features of the QNAP TS-432PXU-2G NAS
- Quad-core Alpine AL-324 1.7GHz processor
- 2GB of DDR4 RAM, expandable to 16GB
- Two high-speed 10GbE SFP+ network ports and two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports
- One free PCIe Gen 2 × 2 expansion slot
- Four bays for 3.5" or 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs
- Support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 disk arrays
- Internal 250W power supply
High-speed network connection
The device includes two 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports. These interfaces speed up data transfers and backups within your business infrastructure. Users can connect the storage to high-speed switches without needing to install additional cards. The network configuration supports efficient file sharing across multiple workstations simultaneously.
Expansion options
The storage system offers one free PCIe Gen 2 × 2 slot for compatible cards. This slot is used to install expansion cards such as network adaptors, QM2 cards, or 10Gb/s USB cards. This lets users add an additional M.2 SSD cache or increase the number of network interfaces for demanding operations. Installing expansion hardware extends the application potential of the entire device.
Backup and data protection
The Hybrid Backup Sync tool unifies backup, recovery, and synchronisation processes. Users can synchronise data with other storage devices, remote servers, or cloud services. The system uses snapshots to protect against ransomware and accidental file deletion. Snapshots record the system state at a specific time, offering a quick recovery option.
Cloud service support in the QNAP TS-432PXU-2G
The Boxafe application protects business data in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 cloud services. This tool backs up emails, cloud drives, calendars, and contacts to local storage. The HybridMount gateway creates a hybrid cloud storage solution with a local cache for fast file access. The system is complemented by the VJBOD Cloud gateway, which supports block-level data transfer and only uploads changes to the block volume to the cloud.
Performance optimisation with SSDs
The system supports SSD installation to accelerate disk operations and reduce latency. Qtier technology automatically moves frequently used data to fast SSD storage. Users can set additional over-provisioning of dedicated space to extend the lifespan of the drives. This configuration optimises the balance between performance and capacity.
Encryption and security
Support for the AES-128-GMAC protocol accelerates packet signing in the SMB protocol. This technology enhances data transfer security without a significant impact on processor load. This mechanism saves the performance of the quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 processor while maintaining a high level of security. The feature is compatible with Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 systems.
