Fast and flexible Thunderbolt 3 and 10GBASE-T connectivity


The TVS-672XT adopts the powerful 8th generation Intel i3 8100T 3.1GHz quad-core processor with 8GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory (expandable up to 32GB) to deliver outstanding performance. It offers two Gigabit ports and a 5-speed 10GBASE-T port (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M), supports SATA 6 Gbps drives, and includes AES-NI encryption to deliver high performance while keeping your data safe. You can also connect USB Type C devices via the Thunderbolt 3 ports to transfer large media files between devices, providing a more efficient workflow.


Get more performance with M.2 SSD cache


In addition to using the 2.5-inch SSDs for caching, you can use the TVS-672XT's two built-in M.2 SSD slots to integrate NVMe PCIe SSDs (Gen 3 x2, 2GB/s) with 2280 form factors (M.2 SSDs sold separately).

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-672XT 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-672XT, 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-672XT, virtual machines and containers as needed.


Collaboration Station for Mac and Windows


The TVS-672XT isideal for Mac and Windows users with Thunderbolt - especially photographers, film makers and graphic designers who need 4K media storage, instant sharing and high-speed workflows. Up to 2 Thunderbolt devices can be connected to the TVS-672XT to handle simultaneous photo and audio editing without affecting system performance. Since Final Cut Pro X 10.3 (and later) supports file sharing via SMB, Windows users and other devices using Thunderbolt 3, 10GbE or GbE connections can join the editing workflow more efficiently.


The best storage solution for 10GbE-equipped iMac Pros


The iMac Pro is the first Mac computer to include a 10GbE Ethernet port, setting a milestone in the growing consumer demand for 10GbE connectivity. Since the TVS-672XT comes with both 10GbE and Thunderbolt 3 ports, it offers an exceptional storage foundation for iMac Pro users as they can choose between Thunderbolt 3 and 10GbE connections to suit the needs of their applications and devices.
