Optimal Storage with Boosted Performance
QuTS hero NAS offers a robust and reliable storage, serving as the ultimate support for enterprise IT.
Up to 5 petabytes capacity per shared folder
ZFS-based QNAP storage solutions provide up to 5 PB capacity for individual shared folders, enabling enterprises to tackle storage-demanding applications including Big Data analysis, edge computing, and AI. Designed to deal with petabytes of data, ZFS RAID levels (RAID Z) quickly handles creating ready-to-use high-capacity RAID.
Enable SMB multichannel for full throughput and multi-path protection
SMB multichannel aggregates multiple network connections to maximize available bandwidth with higher transfer speeds – especially ideal for transferring large files and multimedia. Learn more
Multiplied network performance
Bind multiple network connections with a client device and enjoy dramatical increased throughput.
Automatic failover
If one connection fails, application I/O continues with the remaining network. Total bandwidth automatically reverts to full throughput once the failure recovers.
Automatic configuration
With SMB multichannel, available network paths are automatically detected and aggregated. No extra complex configuration is required.
Up to 4 times faster with SMB multichannel
QNAP provides various 2.5GbE and 10GbE-ready NAS with built-in 2.5GbE and 10GbE ports – especially suitable for SMB multichannel to boost applications and maximize your ROI!

Automatic RAID disk replacement with spares before potential failure
Automatic RAID disk replacement with spares automatically moves data from the affected disk in a RAID group to a spare disk, before the data on the affected disk is completely corrupted. Without needing to wait for RAID rebuild, system reliability is greatly improved.
Preventing RAID rebuild times and risks
When disk failure occurs, the RAID enters degraded mode. Rebuilding a RAID can take a long time (from hours even to weeks) which risks further data loss, and system performance is also affected. The automatic RAID disk replacement eliminates the need to wait for RAID rebuild.
Various disk drive assessment tool
Numerous HDD/SSD health check tools are included, including S.M.A.R.T., Western Digital® Device Analytics (WDDA), IronWolf® Health Management (IHM), DA Drive Analyzer, and SSD estimated remaining life. Once a trigger event occurs, data on a potentially failing drive will automatically move to the spare disk.
Optimized storage management user interface
Storage & Snapshots Manager includes everything you need to quickly identify the disk type and information for each drive bay. Drive health can also be instantly determined through ULINK® DA Drive Analyzer, Seagate® IHM, and WD® DA.
Expand ZFS RAID-Z capacity by adding a single disk
Expanding the capacity of a ZFS RAID-Z previously required adding another RAID group. Now, you can simply add a single disk to an existing RAID-Z for storage expansion, or conveniently add 2 to 3 disks for upgrading RAID level with Parity.
Improved iSCSI read performance by socket zero-copy
In high-speed data transmission, iSCSI performance is possibly affected by CPU overhead. Socket zero-copy technology significantly offloads CPU resources, thus improving read performance for iSCSI LUN.
