th
Gen Intel® Core™ processor family
M.2 SATA 6Gb/s and 2.5” SSD slots
The 6
th
Gen. Intel® Core™ processor family harness the power of Intel’s leading 14nm process. Along with a more advanced chipset and faster buses, they provide
a significant leap in NAS performance and power efficiency, supporting more concurrent apps on the NAS and accomplishing more tasks in less time. The 6th
generation Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 processor features PCIe Gen.3, Direct Media Interface (DMI) 3.0 (Gen.3 x4) and DDR4 2133MHz dual-channel memory. 6th Generation
Intel Core™ processors deliver 20%-30% better performance compared to previous generation processors. In addition, major improvements to the hardware
architecture enables the Thunderbolt™ link to be directly interfaced with the CPU, saving DMI bandwidth while improving the overall read speed with about 20% and
write speed with about 35% performance improvement.
The TVS-x82 series has three types of storage technologies including two
built-in M.2 SATA 6Gb/s and 2.5” SSD slots. (The TVS-682 and TVS-882
support two 2.5” SSD slots whereas TVS-1282 supports four 2.5” SSD slots.)
The M.2 SSD replaces the mSATA standard and oers more exible physical
specications and comparable performance with a smaller physical size. M.2
SATA and 2.5” SSD eciently optimizes performance and reduces costs in
multi-tier congurations with Qtier (QNAP's auto-tiering technology).
The TVS-x82 series supports 2242,
2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors
with B-key edge connectors.
• Secure, encrypted, and isolated storage space
Unlike the HDD drive bays, the M.2 SSD is not accessible without opening the
chassis. Plan a dedicated volume with the M.2 SSD to store sensitive or critical
data and further help protect the data when paired with hardware-assisted
volume encryption.
• System Volume
Compared with conventional HDDs, M.2 SSD provides higher performance
in random access with seamless responsiveness. Hence, deploy the QTS (NAS
operating system) on the M.2 SSD to increase overall system performance and
responsiveness.
