Qnap TVS-h874-i7-32G-US 8-bay NAS 32 GB DDR4 i7 12-core

Eight-bay desktop NAS with Intel Core i7

The Qnap TVS-h874-i7-32G-US is an eight-bay desktop network-attached storage enclosure powered by a 12-core Intel Core i7 processor with 20 threads. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed as two 16 GB SODIMM modules and features integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 for hardware transcoding and display output. The unit provides eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays supporting 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s speeds.

Suited for multi-user storage and virtualization

This NAS suits small-business environments and power users who need high concurrent throughput for file sharing, backup and virtualization workloads. The 12-core processor and 32 GB memory headroom handle multiple Docker containers or virtual machines comfortably. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or who need a rackmount form factor should consider a different chassis.

Eight SATA bays plus two M.2 PCIe Gen4 slots

The eight 3.5-inch SATA bays provide the primary storage pool with support for large-capacity hard drives. Two M.2 2280 slots wired for PCIe Gen4 x4 allow fast SSD caching or tiered storage without occupying a drive bay. Capacity scales with the drives you install; the 32 GB DDR4 memory and 20-thread CPU deliver headroom for heavy I/O before compute becomes the bottleneck.
