Absolute performance with AMD Ryzen™ and up to 64 GB RAM
Featuring an AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 Series V1500B 4-core/8-thread 2.2 GHz processor with up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM (ECC memory supported)*, the TS-h973AX delivers powerful yet energy-efficient performance for compute-intensive applications. Support for Intel® AES-NI encryption increases encryption performance while maintaining the security of your NAS data. SSDs for cache acceleration can be flexibly installed to maximize network and storage performance for data-intensive applications.

Two U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSD slots for optimal I/O and low latency
The TS-h973AX features four 2.5-inch SSD slots, with slots 1 and 2 supporting both high-performance U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSDs and affordable SATA 6Gb/s SSDs. To address latency-sensitive applications, you can take advantage of U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSDs with bandwidth up to 32Gb/s for optimized performance and efficiency. You can also use the QNAP QDA adapter to replace U.2 NVMe SSDs with affordable M.2 NVMe SSDs to maintain high performance while further reducing costs.

SSD cache acceleration
Increases IOPS performance and reduces latency for storage volumes – perfect for IOPS-intensive applications such as virtualization and databases.

Writing coalescence
Converts all random writes to sequential writes with reduced I/O, effectively increasing SSD write performance.

Pool overprovisioning
Flexibly reserves space in an SSD storage pool so that new data can be written to a complete block even when the pool is almost full, improving the performance of fragmented pools.

Use the M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD to U.2 adapter
Install one or more QDA adapters in the TS-h973AX (slot 1 and slot 2) to cost-effectively maximize PCIe bandwidth utilization by using an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD instead of a U.2 SSD to optimize data-intensive applications. It can also increase IOPS performance when configuring SSD caching. Users can monitor hard drive health and manage SSD usage via the QTS Storage & Snapshots Manager. The M.2 SSD integrated into the QDA adapter is hot-swappable.

Optimizes large file transfer and video editing with 10GbE and 2.5GbE
The TS-h973AX features one 10GBASE-T Multi-Gig (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) port and two 2.5GbE RJ45 (2.5G/1G/100M) ports out of the box, supporting high-speed networking as well as port trunking and failover to strengthen your network infrastructure. QNAP also offers many other high-speed networking solutions, including 10GbE/2.5GbE managed/unmanaged switches, 2.5GbE/5GbE/10GbE PCIe cards, and USB 5GbE adapters for Windows®/Linux® workstations, allowing you to build a cost-effective high-speed network environment for productive team collaboration.

Data integrity is key
QuTS hero's self-healing features ensure data integrity and reliability. Write Once, Read Many (WORM) is also supported.

Data reduction improves storage efficiency and performance
Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction reduce file sizes to preserve storage capacity and optimize performance.

Multi-level cache technology
Main memory read cache (L1 ARC), second-level SSD read cache (L2 ARC), and the ZFS intent log (ZIL) for synchronous transactions with power loss protection are supported simultaneously to increase performance and security.

RAID Z provides reliable data protection
Multiple RAID levels enable flexible capacity utilization. RAID Triple Parity and Triple Mirror offer a higher level of data protection.

QSAL (QNAP SSD Antiwear Leveling) improves data security
SSD lifespan at RAID level is automatically and periodically detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure and improve your data security and system reliability.

App Center ecosystem extends NAS functionality
Apps for backup/sync, virtual machines/containers, content management, productivity, and other functions can be used to expand the application potential of the TS-h973AX.

Inline data deduplication, compression and compaction results in great data storage efficiency
QuTS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies (including inline data deduplication*, compression, and compaction) to reduce file sizes, save storage capacity, and optimize performance. For example, if 20 virtual machines are replicated on a NAS using the same template, the storage requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether used for primary or backup storage, the TS-h973AX optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era.

Real-time SnapSync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recovery
Real-time SnapSync ensures that both the primary and secondary NAS maintain identical data. When data is written to the source, it is immediately written to the destination. If the primary NAS goes offline, IT staff can easily adjust the permission settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operation. SnapSync provides the strongest support for uninterrupted business operations and helps users reduce the risk of data loss.

Snapshots multiply backup protection
With virtually unlimited, instant snapshots, you no longer have to worry. Copy-on-write technology creates snapshots almost instantly, without impacting ongoing data writing. Snapshot Replica replicates snapshot files to the backup NAS, simplifying data backup with version control.

HBS simplifies 3-2-1 backup plans
HBS centralizes backup, recovery, and synchronization for easy data transfer from the TS-h973AX to another QNAP NAS, a remote server, or cloud storage. HBS supports QuDedup technology, which eliminates redundant data at the source and accelerates multi-version backup.
