QNAP unveils TS-432X and TS-632X Arm-based NAS with 10GbE networking, up to six SATA bays

QNAP has unveiled TS-432X 4-bay and TS-632X 6-bay Tower NAS systems that feature not only 2.5GbE ports but also one or two 10GbE SFP+ cages, as well as one PCIe Gen 3 x4 slot and are powered by an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL524 4-core 64-bit Arm processor.

We had seen NAS with 10GbE networking before such as the QNAP HS-453DX and ASUSTOR FLASHSTOR, but those were powered by Intel processors. The new TS-432X and TS-632X NAS systems combine a 64-bit Arm processor and 10GbE networking in a way similar to the earlier QNAP TS-431X-2G-USARM powered by a dual-core 32-bit Arm CPU.

The TS-432X and TS-632X run QTS 5.1.7 Linux-based operating system with support for VPN and firewall security features, QVR Surveillance Solution to transform the NAS into a video surveillance system, Container Station for Docker applications, an App Center to install various applications, and more.

The press release says the new 64-bit Arm NAS are cost-effective entry-level business NAS models”, but I was unable to find any price information, and the TS-432X and TS-632X are yet to be listed on QNAP’s Amazon store. More information may be found on the product pages for the 4-bay and 6-bay NAS.

Thanks to TLS for the tip.
