SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce storage volume latency. They are ideal for IOPS-intensive applications (including databases and virtualisation) and can significantly improve overall workflows. Qtier technology enhances the TVS-472XT with automatic tiering that helps continuously optimise storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity hard drives based on data access frequency. Qtier 2. 0 includes I/O recognition that prioritizes SSD storage with reserved space as a cache to manage burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the benefits of SSDs.
Achieve performance and endurance levels potentially similar to professional SSDs
With SSD prices becoming more affordable, now is the best time to use SSDs in your NAS to enjoy superior performance, faster file backups, smoother multimedia experiences, and optimized virtualization applications. Starting with QTS 4.3.5, you can take advantage of the additional overprovisioning (OP) in RAID SSDs that allows you to allocate additional OP space (from 1 to 60%) to optimize random write speeds and increase SSD life. Now you can use affordable consumer SSDs for the TVS-472XT, set the SSD OP, and potentially achieve performance and endurance levels similar to professional SSDs.
Flexibly manage virtual and physical networks
The Virtual Switch and Network app manages physical network interfaces (including network adapters and Thunderbolt ports) and virtual adapters (virtual machines and containers) and their communications, providing a visualized topology that clearly shows physical and virtual network connections. The flexible management capability allows you to more easily rearrange physical and virtual network connections, so you can allocate adequate network resources to the TVS-472XT, virtual machines and containers as needed.

Bought in April 2019, I find it too early, much too early considering the price of the equipment for the Nas to stop starting. Today, after a few attempts to start it up, it won't turn on at all. The 4 disks have been removed as well as the original ram cards. The only thing left is the red LED on the motherboard that lights up when the power supply is connected to the mains. Faulty power supply?
The price did not reflect the "longevity" of the equipment.

Unstable product
I took this model for its thunderbolt connection
I have been using it for about a month now
I've been using it for about a month now, and it's been a great help to me.
I've been using it for about a month now and it's not working properly.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to get a copy of the file that I'm using.
I checked the disks in another send and there is no problem
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use this product again, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it again.
The product is really unstable and given the price I would have expected better
So very disappointed by this purchase
