## Long description

The QNAP TVS-h1688X is a tower NAS designed for small and medium businesses and creative teams that require high-performance storage and advanced data protection. Powered by an Intel® Xeon® W-1250 processor (6 cores/12 threads, base 3.3 GHz, boost up to 4.7 GHz) and shipping with 32 GB DDR4 ECC memory (expandable up to 128 GB), the TVS-h1688X runs the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system to deliver inline block-level deduplication and compression, near-limitless snapshots, real‑time SnapSync replication, and multi-level caching for reliable, high-throughput storage services. The NAS supports up to 16 drives (0 drives preinstalled) with dedicated 2.5" SSD bays and two M.2 NVMe Gen3 x4 slots for SSD caching, plus a preinstalled dual-port 10GBASE-T card and optional Thunderbolt™ 3 expansion for high-speed media workflows.
Advantages
The TVS-h1688X offers enterprise-grade data integrity and flexibility: QuTS hero’s self-healing ZFS, Write Once Read Many (WORM), RAID Z (including triple parity/mirror) and QSAL SSD anti‑wear leveling for improved reliability. Inline deduplication, compression and compaction reduce storage requirements and improve performance. Dual 10GbE with Port Trunking/failover and optional quad-port Thunderbolt™ 3 via QXP-T32P cards enable high-bandwidth connectivity for virtualization, backup, and collaborative 4K editing. Dedicated SSD bays and M.2 NVMe slots allow SSD caching to boost IOPS while preserving 3.5" bays for high-capacity HDDs.
Suitable for
4K video editing and collaborative media production with Thunderbolt™ 3 workstations
Virtualization hosts and VM storage for VMware/Hyper‑V environments
High-speed backup, recovery and deduplicated archive storage
Database and IOPS‑sensitive applications using SSD caching
Hybrid cloud gateways, file servers and surveillance storage
Key specifications
Processor: Intel® Xeon® W-1250, 6 cores / 12 threads, 3.3 GHz (boost up to 4.7 GHz)
Memory: 32 GB DDR4 ECC (expandable to 128 GB, 4 Long‑DIMM slots)
Drive bays supported: up to 16 (0 drives preinstalled); 4 dedicated 2.5" SSD bays; 2 x M.2 NVMe Gen3 x4 slots
Network: Preinstalled dual-port 10GBASE‑T (10GbE/1GbE), additional 2.5GbE onboard; supports Port Trunking and failover
Expansion: PCIe Gen3 x4 slots for up to two QXP‑T32P Thunderbolt™ 3 cards (sold separately)
Graphics: Intel® UHD Graphics P630 with HDMI output up to 4K@30Hz
OS: QuTS hero (ZFS-based) with inline deduplication, compression, snapshots, SnapSync
Weight & color: 13.41 kg, Black
How to use
Install the NAS in a suitable, well‑ventilated location and populate it with the desired combination of HDDs and SSDs according to your capacity and performance needs. For collaborative 4K workflows, install QXP‑T32P Thunderbolt™ 3 PCIe expansion cards into the available PCIe Gen3 x4 slots (cards sold separately) to provide up to four Thunderbolt™ 3 ports. Configure storage pools and RAID levels in QuTS hero, enable inline deduplication/compression as needed, and set up SSD caching using the 2.5" bays or M.2 NVMe slots to optimize IOPS. Connect the NAS to your network using the 10GbE ports and configure Port Trunking or failover for bandwidth and redundancy. Use Virtualization Station or Container Station for virtual machines/containers, and enable HBS, SnapSync and snapshot schedules to implement backup and disaster recovery workflows.
Usage recommendations
For maximum performance in multi‑user 4K editing and virtual machine scenarios, use a mixed configuration of high-capacity HDDs in the 3.5" bays and SLC/MLC SSDs in dedicated 2.5" bays or M.2 NVMe slots for caching. Install the optional QXP‑T32P Thunderbolt™ 3 cards if connecting multiple Thunderbolt‑equipped workstations. Enable QuTS hero’s data reduction features and regularly schedule snapshots and SnapSync replication to a secondary NAS or cloud gateway for minimal RPO and improved data protection.
