QNAP TS-673A-SW5T 6-Bay NAS AMD Ryzen 2.5GbE Switch

The QNAP TS-673A-SW5T bundle pairs a powerful 6-bay NAS with a purpose-matched 2.5GbE network switch, creating a turnkey high-speed storage solution right out of the box. At the heart of the NAS is an AMD Ryzen V1500B quad-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz, backed by 8GB of DDR4 RAM that can be expanded to 64GB — enough horsepower to run virtual machines, Docker containers, surveillance stations, and media transcoding simultaneously. The six drive bays accommodate 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA drives in various RAID configurations, while dual M.2 PCIe Gen 3 NVMe slots let you add SSD caching or create blazing-fast SSD storage pools without sacrificing any drive bays.

The bundled QSW-1105-5T is a 5-port unmanaged 2.5GbE switch that immediately upgrades your local network segment to 2.5 Gbps throughput — a 2.5x improvement over standard gigabit connections using your existing Cat 5e cabling. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, and auto-negotiation handles speed matching with 2.5G, 1G, and 100M devices seamlessly. Combined with the NAS's dual 2.5GbE ports (which can be configured for link aggregation or failover) and multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports offering up to 10 Gbps transfer speeds, this bundle provides a comprehensive storage and networking backbone for creative studios, small offices, and home lab enthusiasts who need performance beyond basic gigabit without the cost and complexity of a full 10GbE infrastructure.
