The QNAP TVS-871T is the world’s first Thunderbolt DAS/NAS/iSCSI SAN triple solution. With the incredible power of Thunderbolt 2 to double the speed potential to 20 Gbps, simultaneous 4K video transfer and display is enabled with considerable cost effectiveness. It’s also a perfect match for Thunderbolt-equipped Mac* users for 4K workflows, file storage and high-speed sharing. Incorporating reliability and security, the TVS-871T delivers the highest transfer rates ever as storage with persistent throughput, and provides a complete business-ready storage solution to build a reliable private cloud.
2. Thunderbolt/Ethernet dual network
The Thunderbolt 2 protocol uses industry standard networking technologies meaning the high-speed transmission over
your Thunderbolt 2 cable is able to run all network services (such as file sharing, FTP and other services). The TVS-
871T can also simultaneously run general Ethernet services in addition to the Thunderbolt 2 network, completely
independently and with no bandwidth interference. You can flexibly allocate proper bandwidth for different concurrent
tasks.
3. Thunderbolt/Ethernet NAS mode
The TVS-871T features Thunderbolt & Ethernet dual networking for flexible file sharing across multiple
devices simultaneously, using SMB/CIFS, NFS and AFP protocols for sharing across Windows, Mac and
Linux/UNIX networks. Use Qfinder to find the TVS-871T attached to your computer, and you can find
Thunderbolt IP and Ethernet IP for file sharing based on your needs.
4. iSCSI SAN block-based mode
The TVS-871T supports iSCSI SAN configuration, while the Thunderbolt interface can contributes a lot to
iSCSI SAN storage performance. After creating an iSCSI target on the TVS-871T, you can access the iSCSI
with your computer* through Thunderbolt IP.
*iSCSI initiator for Mac: ATTO Xtend SAN or SNS globalSAN; for Windows: Microsoft iSCSI initiator
5. Seamless storage expansion
The TVS-871T supports capacity expansion by connecting up to six Thunderbolt 2 storage expansion
enclosures. You can gradually expand the TVS-871T’s storage on demand, and use the QTS Storage
Manager to easily handle the NAS capacity expansion and storage expansion enclosure management.
6. Dividing resources (Mac+NAS)
Large-sized video production studios often require multiple servers to increase productivity with different workflow
stages, such as capturing, editing, production, post-production, and dubbing. In this situation it can be helpful to
daisy chain an additional 6 units of TVS-871T to the original TVS-871T and arrange each NAS for dedicated
workflow stages, while the other Thunderbolt 2 port is connected to the workstation for smoothly accessing large-
sized video files.Meanwhile, each TVS-871T allows file sharing with multiple devices through Gigabit or 10 Gigabit
Ethernet network.
8. SSD cache acceleration
The TVS-871T supports using up to four SSDs for caching which can greatly boost the IOPS performance of
storage volumes to increase operational efficiency. It is perfect for improving the overall workflow of IOPS-
demanding applications such as virtualization, and allows the best of both cost and performance by combining
SSDs and HDDs.
9. 4K video online transcoding & display
The TVS-871T allows you to smoothly play 4K videos on an HDTV with Kodi™ through HDMI without heavily
consuming system resources. Featuring Intel® HD Graphics, the TVS-871T delivers superior real-time 4K
(H.264) and 1080p video transcoding to convert videos to universal formats that can be smoothly played on
PCs, mobile devices and Smart TVs.
10. Use your TVS-871T as a PC
QNAP’s exclusive QvPC Technology allows you to operate the TVS-871T as a PC by plugging in a keyboard,
mouse and HDMI monitor. You can directly access stored data, run multiple applications using
Windows®/Linux®/UNIX®/Android™ based VMs with the Virtualization Station, surf the web, enjoy 4K or
1080p videos with up to 7.1 channel audio with Kodi™, monitor surveillance live feeds with local display, and
much more.
