Qnap TVS-AIH1688ATX-U7-32G-US 16-bay rackmount NAS Intel Core Ultra 7 265 32GB DDR5

SKU CH-R1DQ-HRGDW MPN TVS-AIH1688ATX-U7-32G-US

A 16-bay rackmount ZFS NAS with 12x 3.5" SATA and 4x 2.5" NVMe slots, driven by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and 32GB DDR5 for up to 36 TOPS AI performance

  • AI inference reaches 36 TOPS with Core Ultra 7 265 NPU
  • 12 SATA 3.5" bays plus 4 U.2 NVMe slots for massive capacity
  • ZFS file system provides end-to-end integrity and AES 256-bit encryption
  • Dual 10GbE plus dual 2.5GbE ports deliver high-bandwidth network access
  • 32GB ECC DDR5 memory ensures reliable performance for AI workloads

AI-optimised NAS for demanding workloads

The TVS-AIH1688ATX-U7-32G-US is a 16-bay rackmount NAS built around an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 processor with 20 cores and 32GB of ECC DDR5 memory. It targets organisations that run on-device AI inference, heavy virtualisation, or large-scale media analysis and need a single appliance that combines compute and storage.

36 TOPS of combined AI compute

The CPU, integrated GPU and NPU together deliver up to 36 TOPS, which the QNAP AI Core engine uses to accelerate QuMagie photo recognition by 77% and QVR Face Insight to 0.2 seconds per face. Buyers who need more raw AI throughput than this platform provides should look at dedicated GPU servers instead.

Tool-less drive trays and standard rail kit

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays and four 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe slots use tool-less trays, while the 2U chassis mounts on included rack rails. The most common issue is forgetting to enable ECC memory in BIOS before loading ZFS pools, which can leave silent data errors undetected.

Questions about this item

How does the 36 TOPS AI performance translate to everyday NAS tasks?

The combined CPU, GPU and NPU deliver up to 36 TOPS, making QuMagie photo recognition 77% faster and QVR Face Insight complete facial recognition in just .2 seconds for up to 20 camera streams.

What network speeds do the 10GbE and 2.5GbE ports actually provide?

Two 10GbE and two 2.5GbE ports give up to 10 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps respectively, enabling high-bandwidth transfers and multiple concurrent client connections.

Which drive sizes fit the 12 front bays and the 4 internal NVMe slots?

The 12 front bays accept 3.5" SATA drives, while the 4 internal slots take 2.5" U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4 x2 drives for caching or high-speed storage.
