Introducing the Award-Winning TVS-951X 10GBASE-T Multimedia NAS, Powered by 7th-generation Intel® Processor

 Following the releases of the TS-932X (powered by an Annapurna Labs CPU) and the TS-963X (powered by an AMD CPU), QNAP® Systems, Inc. today completes the high-capacity-compact-size 9-bay NAS lineup with the introduction of the TVS-951X 10GbE multimedia NAS. The new model is powered by a 7th-generation Intel® Kaby Lake processor, providing a NAS private cloud solution that combines high capacity and 10GbE high-speed connectivity. The TVS-951X NAS has also won the Red Dot Award (2018) and Computex d&i Award for high-quality product design.

Powered by a 7th-generation Kaby Lake 14nm Intel® Celeron® 3865U low-power dual-core 1.8 GHz processor, the TVS-951X features a hybrid drive bay design (including five 3.5-inch drive bays and four 2.5-inch SSD slots) with built-in 10GBASE-T (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) network port. Combining hard drives and SSDs allow users to maximize both capacity and performance with SSD caching and Qtier auto-tiering storage. Combined with 10GbE connectivity, multimedia transcoding/streaming, and 4K HDMI output, the TVS-951X provides users with a cost-effective, highly-efficient, and high-performance NAS solution with feature-rich multimedia applications.

“The TVS-951X provides the high potential storage capacity of a 9-bay NAS within the frame of a standard 5-bay NAS. With a hybrid storage structure that allows the joint benefits of hard drives and SSDs to be fully maximized, the TVS-951X excels in providing small/medium businesses with a dependable and scalable storage solution,” said Jason Hsu, Product Manager of QNAP.

Featuring advanced Intel® HD Graphics 610, the TVS-951X supports dual-channel 4K H.264/H.265 hardware decoding and real-time transcoding. Users can directly enjoy videos up to 4K@30FPS on a TV using the HDMI output, or they can stream their media files to multiple devices using QNAP's Cinema28 multi-zone multimedia application, Plex® Media Server, or Roon Server.
