12-Bay 2U Rackmount QuTS hero NAS
QNAP TS-h1277XU-RP-3700X-128G Rackmount NAS
A 12-bay 2U rackmount NAS with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X processor, 128 GB DDR4 memory, four built-in 10GbE ports, ZFS-based storage and redundant power supplies.
Rackmount storage for virtualisation, collaboration and backup
The QNAP TS-h1277XU-RP-3700X-128G is a 2U QuTS hero NAS built around an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 processor and 128 GB of installed DDR4 memory. Its four 10GbE interfaces, ZFS services, four PCIe slots and redundant power supplies support demanding file-server, virtualisation, VDI, collaborative editing, backup and recovery deployments.
Key features and benefits
Four built-in 10GbE ports
Two 10GbE SFP+ SmartNIC ports and two 10GBASE-T ports provide flexible high-bandwidth connections.
ZFS-based storage services
QuTS hero supports snapshots, SnapSync, inline data deduplication and inline compression.
Four PCIe Gen 3 slots
Install supported 10GbE, 25GbE or 40GbE adapters, QM2 cards or Fibre Channel cards.
SSD cache acceleration
SSD caching is supported to improve random read and write performance for suitable workloads.
Virtualisation capability
VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2019 storage support is listed, along with virtual machines and containers.
Redundant power
Two 300W power supply units provide redundant power for rack installations.
Who is this model best for?
A strong choice for
- Business file-server consolidation
- Virtualisation and virtual desktop infrastructure storage
- Collaborative video-editing environments
- Backup and recovery applications
- Rack deployments needing both SFP+ and copper 10GbE
Consider another model if you need
- You need more than the listed 128 GB maximum memory
- You require 25GbE connectivity without adding an expansion card
- You need a tower system rather than a 2U rackmount chassis
