8-Bay High-Capacity Tower NAS
QNAP TS-832PX-4G High-Capacity NAS
An eight-bay tower NAS with a quad-core Alpine AL324 processor, 4 GB DDR4 memory, dual 10GbE SFP+, dual 2.5GbE and PCIe expansion.
High-capacity desktop storage with 10GbE connectivity
The QNAP TS-832PX-4G brings eight SATA bays, dual 10GbE SFP+ and dual 2.5GbE into a tower chassis for shared storage, file access and backup. A PCIe slot supports compatible expansion cards, while snapshots, Qtier, SSD caching, cloud storage gateways and expansion-enclosure support provide options for performance and capacity growth.
Key features and benefits
Eight-bay tower capacity
Eight 3.5-inch bays provide substantial room for centralised files and backups without a rack chassis.
Dual 10GbE SFP+
Two SFP+ ports support high-bandwidth file sharing and storage access.
Dual 2.5GbE RJ45
Two copper multi-gigabit ports add flexible connectivity for everyday networks.
Optional M.2 through PCIe
A compatible QM2 card can add M.2 SATA or NVMe SSDs for caching and Qtier.
Snapshots and hybrid cloud
Snapshot protection and cloud storage gateways support recovery and hybrid-cloud workflows.
External capacity growth
The product description states support for QNAP TR RAID expansion enclosures and TL JBOD units.
Who is this model best for?
A strong choice for
- High-capacity tower storage
- 10GbE SFP+ workgroups
