Maximize uptime with hot-swappable E1.S / M.2 SSD

Frontline video production teams are sometimes at risk of project interruptions due to unexpected SSD failures in storage devices. The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable SSDs, along with conditional automatic RAID replacement with spares. If an SSD enters a critical state, the system automatically moves data from the affected drive to a spare in the RAID group, seamlessly integrating it into the existing RAID without the need for RAID rebuilding. This significantly reduces the risk of data loss.

• Hot-swappable E1.S SSD: Future-proof storage

  The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable E1.S SSDs, providing reliable high-density data transfer with optimal cooling efficiency and making it perfect for accommodating future storage needs.

• Hot-swappable M.2 SSD: Agile innovation

  An optional E1.S to M.2 adapter allows M.2 SSDs to become hot-swappable. This enables replacing SSDs without downtime and enhances system maintenance flexibility.

• Seamlessly compatibility

  Tested for reliability and seamless integration with QNAP NAS for peak performance.

• High-speed and low latency

  Up to 70,000 IOPS (4K random write) boosts the efficiency of VFX editing and small file access.

• Long-lasting durability

  Designed for 24/7 high-intensity read/write workloads with extended lifespan.

• 5-year warranty

  QNAP E1.S SSDs backed by a 5-year limited warranty for long-term reliability and peace of mind.

  The warranty is void if the SSD's TBW exceeds the specified product limit.

• Power loss protection

  Supports PLP (Power Loss Protection) to prevent data loss or corruption during unexpected power outages.

• Self-encryption

  TCG Opal SED hardware encryption protects confidential files from unauthorized access.

Diverse I/O, greater possibilities.

• 

  2.5GbE and 10GbE ports | Productive teamwork

  The 2.5GbE and 10GbE ports can be used with a network switch to add more connected devices to the TBS-h574TX for collaboration, significantly reducing file transfer times across devices.

• 

  USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports | Faster file import/export

  Creators and editors can easily import materials from external storage devices to the TBS-h574TX via two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports and one USB 2.0 port during pre-/post-production.

• 

  USB ports | Easier storage expansion

  The TBS-h574TX capacity is scalable by connecting QNAP USB DASTR-004or USB JBODTL-D800Cto archive massive number of video files for ever-growing storage and backup needs.

Recommended video production scenarios

• Pre-production

• Post-production

• Remote collaboration

Pre-production: Best video file management solution for DIT raw footage on-site editing and powerful video transcoding

DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) is the keyman to take responsibility of video file management on shooting site in a frontline video production team.

DIT can quickly import large raw footage from camera SD cards to the TBS-h574TX through USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports and proceed with video transcoding on the NASbook. In addition to saving RAW files, DIT can easily share small files with remote teams for instant discussion and confirmation, or save files to external hard drives or cloud storage.

The TBS-h574TX comes with a built-in HDMI output, allowing on-site personnel to immediately play raw footage from the NASbook on a large screen. The team can also complete the rough cut on-site using Thunderbolt 4, significantly reducing the post-production teams workload.

Benefits for a pre-production team:

• Fast file import from SD cards to NASbook
• Store small files tomyQNAPcloud Storage
• Remote access and sharing video files
• High-resolution video display using HDMI output
• Rough cut on-site using Thunderbolt 4

Post-production: Productive team collaboration

NAS is way more collaborative than DAS. The TBS-h574TX provides Thunderbolt 4 and 10GbE connectivity that allow the post-production team to edit video files directly from the NASbook, without waiting for files to move from drive to drive, computer to computer.

Once the post-production team finishes current video editing projects on the TBS-h574TX, they can save the final files to a USB DAS (such asTR-004) to free up the NASbooks storage space for the next project!

---

Benefits for a post-production team:

• Directly connect the NASbook to Mac via Thunderbolt 4
• Directly connect the NASbook to Windows workstations through 10GbE and 2.5GbE connectivity
• File storage and backup by connecting a DAS through the high-speed UBS 3.2 Gen 2 ports

Remote collaboration: Hot-swappable M.2 SSDs facilitate file sharing for collaboration and delivery

Due to the difficulty of sharing large media files over networks, remote teams often resort to physically exchanging files by using external hard drives. Now the TBS-h574TX also offers a portable file exchanging/delivery solution.

You can implement a TBS-h574TX for each of the remote work teams, configuring three M.2 SSDs in RAID 5, and the remaining two M.2 SSDs as single disk. The TBS-h574TX makes M.2 SSDs hot-swappable, allowing you to treat the two M.2 SSDs with single disk mode as portable external hard drives: simply remove SSDs from one NASbook and insert them to another NASbook for fast large-scale file transfer.

Benefits for remote teamwork:

• Hot-swappable feature enables physically transferring large media files
