With the TS-h1655XeU-RP, you get powerful and scalable storage in a remarkably compact 3U short-depth chassis, just 29.6 cm deep. Ideal if you have a server room with limited installation space but still need serious computing power and hybrid storage performance. The Intel® Atom® C5125 8-core processor is at the heart of the system, providing ample power for virtualization, heavy file services, and data processing.
You have twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays for large HDD capacity, supplemented by four E1.S/M.2 PCIe Gen3 slots that you can flexibly use for NVMe SSD caching or fast application storage. This allows you to optimally configure your NAS for workloads such as VMware®, Hyper-V®, databases, or media productions. Thanks to the use of QuTS hero – the ZFS-based operating system – you benefit from features such as self-healing, real-time deduplication, compression, and WORM protection.
In terms of networking, you're all set with this NAS: you have two 2.5GbE ports and one 10GbE port as standard, which you can combine via port trunking for higher bandwidth and better failover. The two PCIe Gen3 slots allow you to further expand the system, for example with 5/10/25GbE NICs, Fibre Channel cards, or QM2 modules for additional NVMe storage. This way, the device grows seamlessly with your infrastructure.
The TS-h1655XeU-RP also supports scalable storage expansion via QNAP JBODs, allowing you to create larger storage pools cost-efficiently. Redundant power supplies ensure operational reliability, while hot-swappable drives and a clear layout keep management simple. Despite its powerful hardware, energy consumption remains relatively low, making it suitable for both growing businesses and professional data applications.
Whether you're running virtualized environments, serving hundreds of users, or working with large datasets: with this short-depth NAS, you combine flexibility, reliability, and performance in a robust, space-saving enclosure.
