9-Bay Hybrid Tower NAS
QNAP TS-932PX-4G Hybrid Storage NAS
A compact nine-bay tower NAS with five 3.5-inch bays, four 2.5-inch bays, a quad-core ARM processor, 4 GB DDR4 memory, dual 10GbE SFP+ and dual 2.5GbE connectivity.
Nine-bay hybrid storage in a compact tower design
The QNAP TS-932PX-4G fits five 3.5-inch and four 2.5-inch SATA bays into a compact tower chassis. Its dual 10GbE SFP+ and dual 2.5GbE ports support fast file access, while SSD caching, Qtier, snapshots, backup tools and storage expansion give small organisations a flexible path for shared storage and data protection.
Key features and benefits
Five-HDD plus four-SSD layout
Combine capacity-focused 3.5-inch drives with four 2.5-inch SSD bays in one compact system.
10GbE and 2.5GbE built in
Two 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports support multi-gigabit storage access.
Backup and recovery tools
HBS and QuDedup support backup, data recovery and source-side deduplication to reduce transferred data.
Snapshot protection
Snapshots record system states to help recover files after accidental deletion or malware incidents.
SSD optimisation
Qtier auto-tiering and SSD cache acceleration can optimise the use of the hybrid bay layout.
Expansion-enclosure support
The storage capacity can be expanded with stated QNAP TR RAID expansion enclosures or TL JBOD units.
Who is this model best for?
A strong choice for
- Small-office shared storage
- Backup and data-recovery workflows
- Hybrid HDD and SSD storage
- Multi-gigabit file sharing
- Teams that want nine bays without a rackmount chassis
Consider another model if you need
- You require an x86 processor platform
- You need PCIe expansion slots
- You require more than 4 GB memory installed initially
