output.
Dual M.2 SATA 6 Gb/s SSD slots allow for setting up caching or storage pools,
improving file access efficiency.
Qtier auto-tiering technology and SSD caching enable 24/7 optimized storage
efficiency.
Scalable storage supporting virtualization, containerized apps, centralized
storage, backup, sharing, and disaster recovery.
Snapshots fully record system status and data. If files are accidentally
deleted or modified, you can quickly restore the data from a snapshot.
Greater NAS potential with two PCIe slots
The TS-863 features two PCIe (Gen3 x4) slots, allowing for installing
single/dual-port 10GbE NICs to accelerate applications that demand higher
bandwidth such as virtualization, media workflows, and backup/restoration tasks
for an ever-growing amount of data; or a USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gb/s) expansion card
for transferring large media files to and from USB storage. You can also install
QM2 cards, wireless network cards or an entry-level graphics card to extend NAS
functionality.
AMD R-Series quad-core CPU
Equipped with a next-gen AMD R-Series RX-421ND quad-core 2.1 GHz CPU (Turbo
Core up to 3.4 GHz) with up to 64GB dual-channel DDR4 RAM, the TS-873 enables
lightning-fast multi-tasking with low power consumption for up to 2379 MB/s
throughput with a 10GbE configuration. With a hardware-accelerated AES-NI
encryption engine, the TS-873 also provides unmatched encryption performance in
its class (up to 2332 MB/s with AES 256-bit full NAS volume encryption) to boost
system performance while ensuring the safety of sensitive business data stored
on the NAS.

SSD caching and 10GbE connectivity
The TS-873 supports the innovative QM2 PCIe card that allows for adding up to
two M.2 SSDs. You can configure SSD caching, or create a RAID 5 tiered storage
along with the two M.2 SSDs in the NAS*. As these M.2 SSDs will not occupy any
3.5-inch drive bays, the QM2 card allows you to maximize both your storage
capacity and performance. There are also QM2 cards that include 10GbE 10GBASE-T
connectivity to provide SSD caching with high-speed network connectivity on a
single card.
SSD cache with Qtier optimization for around-the-clock
acceleration
The TS-873 features SSD caching, and also supports optional M.2 SATA 6Gb/s
SSDs (sold separately). Using an SSD cache boosts overall system performance,
and is perfect for improving the overall workflow of random IOPS demanding
applications such as virtualization. QNAPs Qtier technology also continuously
optimizes storage efficiency by tiering files and data across M.2 SSD, 2.5-inch
SSD, and high-capacity SATA drives based on access frequency. 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.
Note: The M.2 SSD is optional. As M.2 SSD operations can easily generate
excessive heat, it is recommended to install a heatsink (from QNAP or a
third-party provider) on the M.2 SSD.
Optimal computing power and 4K video playback with a graphics
card
The TS-873 allows for installing a low-power graphics card (powered solely by
the PCIe slot) to boost system performance. With a graphics card installed, the
TS-873 also enables smoother video editing workflows and supports 4K UHD
transcoding to deliver an exceptional multimedia experience. You can also use
the QNAP remote control (sold separately) or the Qremote mobile app to use the
NAS as a home theater PC.
Note:
1. Supported video formats depend on the hardware and software specifications
of the devices. Playback capability and quality may vary due to factors
including the original file formats/quality, hardware and software limitations,
and output devices.
2. Consult the QNAP Compatibility List before purchasing the graphics card.
3. Graphics card will be supported in QTS 4.3.5 (or later) version.
Use your NAS as a wireless base station
Install a compatible PCIe wireless network card (for example: QNAP
QWA-AC2600) on the TS-873 and use with the WirelessAP Station app to use your
NAS as a convenient wireless base station. Your mobile devices and PCs can
directly connect to your NAS for easy access to its services and Internet
connection.
