Qnap’s TVS-x72XU rack NAS appliances aim to be the best all-rounders on the market with a sharp focus on performance, reliability, scalability and business-class features. Driven by Intel’s 8th Gen Core CPUs, the family comprises five models and ranges from the mighty 24-bay TVS-2472XU-RP down to the slim-line TVS-972XU on review here.The TVS-972XU may only be 1U high but actually offers nine storage bays – remove the lid and you’ll find five SFF trays sitting on top of the four LFF hot-swap bays. These accept SATA SSDs for general storage duties, as a performance enhancing cache or as part of a tier where they receive hot data from Qnap’s Qtier 2 feature.The TVS-972XU is endowed with dual Gigabit and 10GbE SFP+ fibre ports plus two Type A and two Type C USB 3.1 10Gbits/sec ports. It has a spare PCI-e slot and the CPU’s embedded Intel UHD 630 graphics processor can pipe 4K video through to the rear HDMI 2.0 port.
