HDD + SSD hybrid-structure AMD Ryzen™ 1U rackmount NAS with up to 6 cores/12 threads Powered by AMD''s powerful Ryzen™ processor, the TS-977XU-RP delivers high system performance with up to 6 cores/12 threads and Turbo Core up to 3.9 GHz. The TS-977XU-RP features a hybrid structure with four 3.5-inch HDD and five 2.5-inch SSD drive bays, allowing for enabling SSD caching and Qtier™ auto-tiering technology to greatly boost IOPS to meet the performance requirements of demanding applications. The TS-977XU-RP features two SFP+ 10GbE ports and two Gigabit ports for high-speed connectivity, providing businesses and organizations with an ideal solution for quickly deploying a high-bandwidth, high-reliability storage environment. The TS-977XU-RP also features a redundant power supply to ensure maximum system uptime. Install up to five SSDs in the 2.5-inch drive bays to enable SSD caching and Qtier for optimal system performance. Two 10GbE SFP+ ports provide higher bandwidth to empower applications like virtualization, 4K video editing and file sharing. PCIe expandability allows for installing QM2 expansion card, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) cards, or wireless network cards. Snapshots add an extra layer of protection for disaster recovery plans. You can set a custom snapshot schedule and can use snapshots to recover data from a local or remote NAS. Scalable storage supporting virtualization, containerized apps, centralized storage, backup, sharing, and disaster recovery. Besides using QNAP storage expansion enclosures, you can also leverage QNAP VJBOD technology to use the unused storage space from other NAS. Top-class hardware engineering with high I/O expandability The hardware design of the TS-977XU-RP provides exceptional system performance and expandability to fulfill diverse application requirements. Absolute performance with AMD Ryzen™ and up to 64GB RAM Powered by a high-performance AMD Ryzen™ 3 1200 processor or Ryzen™ 5 2600 processor with AES-NI encryption acceleration and up to 64GB DDR4 RAM, the TS-977XU-RP delivers aggressive yet power-smart performance to meet your multitasking demands. For resource-demanding business applications such as VDI, R&D, private cloud, and server virtualization, look no further than the TS-977XU-RP. Hybrid structure for enabling SSD and tiered storage The TS-977XU-RP features an HDD+ SSD hybrid structure (including five 2.5-inch and four 3.5-inch drive bays), allowing you to leverage the benefits of both hard drives and SSD to provide high storage capacity and high performance. Qtier™ Technology empowers the TS-977XU-RP with automatic tiering that continuously optimizes storage utilization across high-performance SSD and high-capacity hard drives. The new Qtier™ 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSD. Dual-channel Memory to delivers power-smart performance The TS-977XU-RP supports dual-channel DDR4 memory and features four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TS-977XU-RP leverages the power of dual-channel architecture to boost performance. You can also customize the memory configuration (supports up to 64GB RAM) of the TS-977XU-RP, making it the most ideal and cost-efficient storage solution for environments like virtualization that contain dynamically-changing workloads.
