8.4
PROS
👍🏻Dual 10GbE Ports: Provides high-speed network connectivity, enabling fast data transfer and reducing backup times, which is great for businesses with heavy data flow.
👍🏻Energy Efficiency: Powered by an ARM-based processor, the TS-632X offers low power consumption, making it ideal for 24/7 operation without significantly impacting electricity bills.
👍🏻Support for ECC Memory: Offers enhanced data integrity by supporting ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, reducing the risk of data corruption, which is crucial for critical data storage.
👍🏻Scalability: Includes a PCIe slot for expansion, allowing users to add additional network cards or SSDs, making it adaptable to growing network demands.
👍🏻Affordable Pricing: Priced competitively between $699-$749, it offers a strong set of features without breaking the bank, providing excellent value for small to medium businesses.
👍🏻Compact Design: Its tower form factor and relatively small footprint make it easy to fit into a variety of environments, from small offices to home setups.
👍🏻Quiet Operation: Even when fully loaded, the TS-632X operates quietly, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments like offices or shared spaces.
👍🏻Versatile Storage Options: Supports both 3.5-inch HDDs and 2.5-inch SSDs, providing flexibility in balancing cost and performance for different storage needs.
👍🏻Robust Software Ecosystem: Runs on QNAP\'s QTS operating system, which includes a wide range of apps for backup, synchronization, multimedia management, and more, catering to various business and personal needs.
👍🏻Eco-Friendly Packaging: Uses fully recyclable packaging materials, demonstrating QNAP\'s commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
CONS
👎🏻Base Model Lacks ECC Memory: Although the TS-632X supports ECC memory, the base model does not include it, requiring users to purchase additional RAM to take advantage of this feature.
👎🏻Limited Processing Power: The ARM processor, while energy-efficient, limits the NAS\'s ability to handle resource-intensive tasks such as virtualization and high-end multimedia transcoding.
👎🏻Only Two-Year Warranty: The standard warranty is relatively short for a device targeted at business use, where a longer warranty period (e.g., three years) would be more appropriate.
👎🏻Write Performance Could Be Better: While read speeds are impressive, write speeds are somewhat lower, which might be a limitation for users who need high write throughput for applications like live video editing or large-scale data ingestion.

PROS
👍🏻Very compact chassis design, despite large storage potential
👍🏻A BIG jump in hardware and scale from the TS-453Be and TS-653D, but with a largely identical RRP at launch
👍🏻Easily one of the most hardware packed SMB/Mid-range 6-Bay on the market
👍🏻Up to 16GB of Memory is fantastic
👍🏻m.2 NVMe SSD Bays AND a PCIe Upgrade Slot (no need to choose one upgrade path)
👍🏻8x Included Camera Licenses
👍🏻Includes Anti-virus, Firewall Tool, VPN client tools, Malware Remover, network manager and Security Councilor Tool
👍🏻3 Different Container/VM tools that also feature image download centers
👍🏻10Gb/s (1,000MB/s) USB Ports will be incredibly useful
👍🏻Large range of expansion options in the TR/TL series in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 Bays
CONS
👎🏻The PCIe Slot is PCIe 3×2 and the M.2 SSD Bays are PCIe 3×1 (likely limitations of all this H/W on a Celeron+chipset
👎🏻QNAP Has had 3 ransomware hits in 2019-2021 (Qlocker, Qsnatch and Deadbolt). Lots of Security app/changes since, but people remember and QNAP needs to win back that trust in 2022/2023
