QNAP TS-432X 4-Bay NAS Enclosure

The QNAP TS-432X-4G-US is a 4-bay network attached storage enclosure built for teams that need a fast, secure, and adaptable place to keep their data. It runs on an Annapurna Labs AL524 processor with four cores operating at 2.0 GHz, paired with 4 GB of DDR4 memory that can grow to 16 GB as workloads increase. Four SATA III drive bays accept 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state drives, letting you balance capacity and speed to match your workflow.

For networking, the enclosure offers one 10 GbE SFP+ port and two 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports. When the network and drives can keep up, you can see throughput up to 1181 MB/s read and 887 MB/s write, making it practical to edit large video files directly from the NAS or push sizable engineering projects without bottlenecks.

A PCIe Gen 3 x4 slot provides room to grow, whether you add an extra network adapter, a caching card, or other compatible expansion. Two front USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports allow quick backups to external drives or straightforward ingestion of photos and footage from cameras on location.

The QTS operating system simplifies administration with an intuitive browser-based dashboard, AES 256-bit volume encryption, snapshot protection, and a rich app center that includes Docker support. Automated cloud backups, granular user permissions, and real-time system monitoring help IT staff keep data safe and services online with minimal overhead.

From creative studios and branch offices to advanced home labs, the TS-432X-4G-US delivers the performance and flexibility needed for centralized backup, collaborative file sharing, containerized applications, and dependable data protection.
