QNAP Mustang-200 - PCI Express accelerator card, Black

The QNAP Mustang-200 is a PCIe accelerator card designed to increase the computational and storage capacity of compatible NAS systems. It acts as a subsystem within the host, featuring two Intel Core i5-7267U processors. Each processor has two cores, with a base clock of 3.1 GHz and a boost frequency of 3.5 GHz, allowing it to handle demanding data processing or virtualization tasks. Offloading these workloads from the main NAS CPU helps maintain system responsiveness during intensive operations. The card includes 32 GB of DDR4 RAM to support large datasets and concurrent applications, and it runs on the pre-installed mQTS operating system, which provides a dedicated environment for independent services.

The unit includes a 1.032 TB NVMe SSD for high-speed, low-latency data access. Connectivity is provided by two RJ45 Ethernet ports supporting speeds up to 10 Gbit/s for high-bandwidth network communication. The integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 supports hardware-accelerated video processing, suitable for surveillance or media-intensive environments. Two dedicated fans provide active cooling to ensure stable operating temperatures under load. Weighing 700 g, the card fits into a standard PCIe slot. It is designed for users seeking to expand their existing network-attached storage for AI inference or data-heavy workflows.

• Dual Intel Core i5-7267U processors: Two independent 3.1 GHz CPUs for offloading complex tasks from the host NAS.
• 32 GB DDR4 RAM: High-capacity memory for running multiple virtual machines or containerised applications simultaneously.
• 1.032 TB NVMe storage: Integrated, high-speed storage for fast data retrieval and application hosting.
• Dual 10GbE connectivity: Two RJ45 ports supporting network speeds up to 10 Gbit/s to reduce data transfer bottlenecks.
• Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650: Supports hardware-based graphics processing and video transcoding within the NAS environment.
• Dual-fan active cooling: Maintains optimal thermal levels across the processors and storage components during sustained workloads.
• mQTS operating system: Enables independent management and deployment of services separate from the host NAS system.
