Qnap TS-130-US 1-Bay rackmount NAS Realtek RTD1295 1.4GHz 1GB DDR4

One-bay personal cloud NAS

The Qnap TS-130-US is a 1-bay rackmount network-attached storage device built around a Realtek RTD1295 quad-core 1.4GHz processor with 1GB of non-expandable DDR4 memory. It runs QTS 4.4.1 and is intended for users who want a compact personal cloud for backup and media streaming. A single SATA drive bay accepts 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA SSDs.

Sustained load behaviour

Under typical operation the unit draws 7.29W and drops to 3.45W when the installed drive enters sleep mode, powered by an external 36W adapter that accepts 100-240V input. The single Gigabit Ethernet port and USB 3.2 Gen 1 port provide fixed bandwidth for continuous file transfers or media streaming, while the Realtek processor handles background tasks such as indexing and transcoding within its thermal envelope of 0-40°C.

Pre-purchase checks

Verify that your rack or shelf can accommodate the 7.38" x 2.60" x 6.20" chassis and that a single drive bay meets your capacity and redundancy requirements, as the memory cannot be upgraded and no additional internal bays exist. Ensure you have a SATA drive on hand, because none is included, and confirm that the single Gigabit uplink and two USB ports satisfy your connectivity plan.
