QNAP TVS-h674T-i5-32G-US 6 Bay High-Speed Desktop NAS with Intel 12th Gen Core i5 6-core CPU, 32GB DDR4 Memory, Thunderbolt 4 and 2.5GbE connectivity (Diskless)

Professional, quality and easy to setup NAS product that we have come to expect from QNAP. There are a bunch of helpful tools to assist with any non-standard setup, if you choose to deviate from the standard quick-setup. The cooling is quiet compared to other NAS products I have used, although the disk accesses (I am using 4x WD NAS Pro 26TB HDDs) could be a little noisy for a quiet space like a VLOG studio. The Thunderbolt 4 direct interface works exceptionally well. Excellent product all round, with plenty of room for expansion. The Thunderbolt 4 direct interface works exceptionally well.

Do not buy this unit from Qnap. Mine failed 2 months out of warranty. Bad motherboard and they want 750 plus shipping to fix it. This is NOT unusual with this model. Do a search for the model number and "fail to power on" and you will see this is the biggest issue reported on qnap's forums and reddit. Qnap has not been helpful. I will not buy another Qnap unit again. Synology now. Update:. Qnap has agreed to repair the unit under warranty and seems to be on track now. I would have given 5 stars to the unit normally. I still update this when I get and test the unit and perhaps go up to the 5 stars that the performance deserves. Update: The product performance is very good. They have now agreed to repair it under warranty. Based on this, I can recommend it.

Seemed to be great, but then it failed to boot after upgrading the firmware that Qnap recommended I upgrade to. BIOS: Q012AT13 checking memory was the error on the LCD front panel. No amount of resets, removing HDD's, power etc would bring it back. Contacting Qnap, they said I had to ship it back to them and pay another $700 to get them to repair it. The server has been connected to a UPS in a temp controlled server room for its' whole lifespan. That is not very reliable. If I'm spending $2,000 on a NAS before HDD's, it should last more than 3.5 years. Not recommended unless you're deeply invested in Qnap already.

I highly recommend this server for 4K video editing for two Macbook Pro's. I'm getting around 700mps-1000mbps with black magic speed test with 8 the 7200rpm drives installed before even trying to install the NVMe drives which supposely really speed up transmission speed. I have noticed that the 10Gbe connection does run MUCH faster than the thunderbolt connection which is kind of odd. I don't think I have it configured correctly as the thunderbolt 3 connection should be faster. Buyers may want to consider the 10Gbe connection option that replaces the thunderbolt 3 connections with 2 10gbe. I like the 10gbe better b/c I can use my computer up to 50ft from the server while the max distance with Thunderbolt 3 is 3 meters which isn't very far for two people to edit that close together. So I would recommend choosing the same server with the 10gbe option instead of the firewire. The 10gbe thunderbolt adapter is $150 more per connection but considering that a thunderbolt cable certified for use on this machine costs close to $80 its not all that much more per connection and you get far faster speeds. I average over 1000mbs vs around 700 on the Thunderbolt 3. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DEVICE FOR SMALL VIDEO WORK GROUPS THAT NEED TO WORK ON THE SAME PROJECT AT THE SAME TIME. ITS THE LOWEST COST INVESTMENT THAT IS THE FASTEST OPTION OUT THERE. For only two machines its even faster than the "video" server with 4 x ssd slots added which costs over 1k more! EXCELLENT DEAL... THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR SMALL VIDEO EDITING WORK GROUPS!

This is my first NAS. It was fairly easy to set up following the quick guide, but I did hit some setup bumps along the way. For those who may buy this unit, here are some things to know so you don't make the same mistakes I did: Hardware Warnings: 1) If you are buying the x72XT, make sure you also own a right angle screwdriver. If you want to put M.2 cards into the x72XT, you are going to need to get that thunderbolt card out. There is maybe an inch clearance between the thunderbolt card and the bracket above it. 2) Also if you are going to put in M.2 cards, make sure you are ready to remove whatever label the manufacturer has put across the chips. Its kind of tough buying a new NAS, 2 new M.2's, and hard drives, and the first thing you need to do before you do anything is take a blade to the top of your M.2 card. 3) Also on the M.2 cards, be careful if you want to use it as a read/write cache. If you start dumping a bunch onto the NAS the M.2 heat warning will pop up, even with their heatsinks on the controller. My recommendation would be to have them as a read cache until you have fully populated the NAS with whatever you are backing up, then change it to read/write after, if you want read/write that is. Setup Warnings: 4) There is a guided setup which is more or less intuitive. Takes a bit of time to set up, and then prompts you to log in. It populates the usename with the name it gave the NAS (like NAS8384). You need to change that to admin. I didn't realize that; just kept entering the password I had given it and kept being told it was no good. Had to reset the unit and start again. 5) If you are setting up the Plex app, make sure you do it from the non-thunderbolt connection. The x72XT gives you 2 IP addresses, 1 for thunderbolt and 1 for network. The Plex setup will fail if you set it up while under the thunderbolt connection - it can't find that server. That was a reset for me too :( Other 6) Your may find all your appstore icons disappear. This is actually an ad-blocker problem, not a QNAP problem. Clearing the cache worked for me on Firefox, and Edge worked anyway. Still can't get them back under chrome. 7) As QNAP will remind you, if you want to use their Q-Cloud to access your NAS from elsewhere, remember that all data passes through their servers. Something to think about. 8) Tech support has email support and can even do a live diagnosis, but none of that in a truly timely fashion. I find the qnap forum to be the more likely place to get prompt answers. After all, if you are trying to set up a $1500 NAS, which has $1600 of hard drives, $400 of M.2's, and what not, waiting X number of business days is not really going to be your preference. So 4 days in, I have it set up and mostly loaded. Would have taken 1 day had I known the above. Otherwise, it seems like a good unit, if not a little noisy when a bunch of hard drives are accessing.

即日届くAmazon販売の国内代理店の在庫品を購入しました。1週間ほど経過してCPUファンに異常が発生しましたが、国内代理店のテックウィンドに連絡したところ、1ヶ月以内なので初期不良として返品してほしいと言われ、そのとおりにしました。Synologyの代理店の対応とは雲泥の差です。入手しづらいものだったので残念でしたが、次の機会を待ちたいと思います。

If you want to buy the TVS-472XT and install the NVME hard drive, prepare for excruciating work in very tight chassis. You will have to remove the back plate, the power supply, the Thunderbolt card and all with 4 to 5 different kind of tiny screws that you will continuously loose (I needed 3 different screw drivers to remove and put back all screws). The funny part is that there is no screw for the NVME drives. There is plastic pin that you have to remove and put back when the drive is in. There is no access to that pin when you install the drives (with a heatsink). That alone took me 40 minutes and cut my hands in 3 different places. I'm sure the models with more hard drives have better access. Just for your information, I have built and repaired 1000s of computers including macs, labtops, etc. and have installed neworks and NAS... And this device is among my top 3 worse device in matter of design... Conclusion: --If you want to use NVME drives in your NAS, and you don't have enough experience with hardware, this is not for you. --The software installation is not for novices either.

Employé pour une station de montage vidéo, avec 8 disques de 4 To en Raid 5. La configuration initiale est assez complexe pour quelqu'un qui ne s'y connaît pas. Dans un projet vidéo HD très haute résolution à 10 bits, les disques ne suivent pas toujours (un seul monteur connecté). Somme toute décevant, me fait m'ennuyer d'une tour Raid dédiée, mais limitée à un client à la fois. Si c'était à recommencer, je n'achèterais pas. Avec la pratique, on s'habitue et on s'ajuste aux capacités réelles. Ça fera quand même le travail.

This unit failed at about the 3 year mark under very low load. There is a well documented and common failure where the motherboard just gives up. Search "red light on motherboard no power qnap tvs" and see the number times this unit simply stops working with no recourse. Support has quoted me USD $1040 for the replacement of what they know is a factory defect in their product. No motherboard should fail by itself in 3 years. It certainly shouldn't be so common that you can find pages and pages of the same people with the same issue. Consider this before purchase.
