QNAP TVS-951N 5Gbe Intel NAS for 2019 Revealed

The QNAP TVS-951N 5/9-Bay NAS featuring 10GBASE-T for the Home

QNAP NAS have really been busy in Q3 of 2019. Last week we saw the reveal of the new 5Gbe TVS-x72N series and now we have seen the reveal of a new 9-Bay (5 Hard Drive and 4 SSD) based NAS, the TVS-951N. The latest unit to join the growing 5-gigabit ethernet collection features an Intel dual-core processor and HDMI out is a much more appealing purchase for those looking into the affordable network upgrade of 5Gbe over 1Gbe! I say this is a new QNAP NAS, the TVS-951N is a revision of the previously released 10Gbe enabled TVS-951X NAS released late in 2018. Let’s find out what the QNAP TVS-951N has in store for us in 2019 and whether this is just the TVS-951X with a downgrade? I beg to differ, let me explain why.

What are the Specifications of the QNAP TVS-951N 10Gbe NAS

The TVS-951N is cost-effective and suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs), as well as home users looking to invest in a media NAS that is 5Gbe enabled. It features the 7th Gen Intel Celeron 3865U 1.8Ghz Dual Core, 9 media bays and a built-in 3-speed 5GBASE-T port, providing x86 powered performance over a 5Gbps connection speed. Four 2.5-inch hard disk slots can install SSDs to enable cache and Qtier technology, as well as be utilized for raw fast storage. The dedicated 5Gbe port (5G/2.5G/1G/100M) allows you to use existing Cat 5e/6 cables to increase file and access speeds, as well as productivity without additional costs, plus with the newly released USB 3.0 to 5Gbe adapter released by QNAP, all you need is an available USB port on your PC/Mac system to take advantage of over 550MB/s performance between your client machine and the host NAS. As well as the additional performance benefits internally of an SSD and HDD based NAS combo. The TVS-951N incorporates multiple QNAP technologies, such as virtual JBOD (VJBOD), Container Station, and Virtualization Station, which can be used in hundreds of business and home applications and can be easily expanded to meet future data storage needs. Below are the specs we know so far:

TRANSCODING ENGINE: Intel® HD Graphics 610 – transcoding engine

MEMORY: DDR4 RAM

HARD DRIVE STORAGE: 5 HDD Bays

What makes the TVS-951N so different from other 2019 NAS?

When will the QNAP TVS-951N NAS be Released?

Release details are still very thin on the ground at the moment. This new TVS-951N does not have an official release date yet, however, we think it will land in late Q3 or very early Q4 of 2019. The QNAP TVS-951N is the latest in a line next-gen NAS devices from QNAP that arrive with 5Gbe connectivity, at an affordable price point for those that looked at 10Gbe and though “ahh…not quite yet”. We hope to see more information on this NAS in the next month or so and will, of course, update you as soon as we hear more.
