QNAP TS-1232PXU-RP-4G - Network Attached Storage, Black

The QNAP TS-1232PXU-RP-4G is a 12-bay rackmount NAS for small to medium-sized businesses. This 2U unit serves as a centralized hub for file sharing and backups. An Annapurna Labs AL324 quad-core processor running at 1.7 GHz handles storage services. It includes 4 GB of DDR4 memory, expandable to 16 GB via a single UDIMM slot. Twelve drive bays accommodate 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s disks. Connectivity includes two 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports.

Redundant 250W power supply units ensure operational continuity during a power failure. Hot-swappable drive bays allow for disk replacement or RAID maintenance without shutting down the system. Cooling is managed by two 70 mm fans, with a rated noise level of 32.2 dB. The pre-installed QNAP QTS operating system supports ext4, NTFS, and HFS+ file systems. Security features, including 256-bit AES encryption and snapshots, help maintain data integrity. The unit is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and various Windows Server environments.
