Key Features

DDR4 ECC (Error correcting code) error Correction Memory automatically detects and instantly Corrects single bit errors, allowing the ts-1683xu-rp TO demonstrate server level stability.

The Dual 10GbE SFP+ smartnic smart network supports iser Offload transmission, and the data directly enters the ts-1683xu-rp Memory buffer for higher transmission efficiency.

Pcie expands multi-applications TO install Graphics cards or 40GbE/25GbE/ 10GbE network cards for added application performance.

Support VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2016 virtualization applications to deliver high performance, stability and cost-effectiveness for virtualized storage needs.

The SSD plug-in reserved space defined by the QNAP software solves the problem of "write speed", which can maintain the high performance of the SSD and contribute to the application of High IOPS requirements such as the database.
