QNAP TS-873A-8G Network Attached Storage (NAS)

The QNAP TS-873A-8G is a powerful enterprise-grade NAS designed for businesses requiring high performance, scalability, and reliable data protection. Powered by an AMD Ryzen™ V1500B quad-core processor (4 cores / 8 threads at 2.2 GHz), it delivers excellent performance for virtualization, backup, and media workflows.

The system features 8 drive bays supporting SATA HDDs and SSDs, with advanced storage optimization through two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for SSD caching and Qtier technology. With 2 × 2.5GbE network ports and dual PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots, the TS-873A allows flexible upgrades to 5GbE or 10GbE networking, ensuring fast and scalable data transfers.

The TS-873A supports both QTS and QuTS hero (ZFS-based) operating systems, giving organizations the flexibility to choose between performance efficiency or maximum data integrity. QuTS hero enables end-to-end data protection with snapshot replication, inline data deduplication, compression, and self-healing capabilities.

Designed for modern IT environments, the TS-873A is certified for VMware®, Citrix®, and Microsoft Hyper-V®, making it ideal for virtualization, private cloud, and business-critical applications.

Rangura (rangura.rw) supplies the QNAP TS-873A-8G in Rwanda and across East Africa, providing genuine QNAP solutions, professional consultation, warranty support, and reliable delivery for enterprise and institutional customers.

Featuring an AMD Ryzen V1000 series V1500B quad-core processor that delivers great system performance with up to quad-core / 8 threads and Turbo Core up to 2.2 GHz. The TS-x73A features two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and two PCIe Gen 3 slots for you to flexibly deploy 5GbE/10GbE networks. Two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for Qtier Technology and SSD Caching enable constant storage optimization. The TS-x73A supports QTS and QuTS hero, allowing users to flexibly switch operating system based on their requirements.

AMD long-term supported Zen core embedded SoC The low-power V1000 series V1500B 4C 8T 2.2 GHz

The TS-x73A is powered by an AMD Ryzen V1000 series V1500 quad-core 2.2 GHz processor with up to 64GB RAM (ECC memory is supported*) and features USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for speeds up to 10 Gb/s. The TS-x73A also provides one USB Type-C port for supporting more devices to transfer large media files across devices, providing you with a more efficient workflow.

Switch operating systems for optimal data integrity and reliability

he TS-x73A also supports QuTS hero – QNAP’s ZFS-based NAS operating system. Providing end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression and compaction), and much more, QuTS hero uses additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.

Note: 1. QTS and QuTS hero use different file systems. You must remove all the drives from the TS-x73A before switching from QTS to QuTS hero. 2. QuTS hero requires a NAS with at least 8 GB memory. 3. Inline Data Deduplication requires a NAS with at least 16 GB memory (at least 32 GB memory is recommended for optimal performance). 4. It is recommended to create an SSD RAID with at least two SSDs for the QuTS hero system drive to attain optimal system performance. Please note that M.2 SSD hot-swapping is only supported by M.2 SSD slots on PCIe cards (such as the QM2). M.2 SSD slots that are built into the NAS do not support hot-swapping.

Transform your network with a wallet-friendly 2.5GbE switch

Upgrading your network shouldn’t break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1GbE. QNAP offers 2.5GbE switches that supports Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T and allows you to use existing CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS, assisting organizations in implementing high-speed, secure and scalable network environments without going over budget.

2 x PCIe Gen3 x4 expansion slots for various QNAP PCIe cards for more value-added applications.
