How should post-production use a NAS and DAS?

Employing a NAS on your existing file-based workflow will save time and effort by adding the features that a DAS doesn't have.

Access between Mac/PC
1.5x faster real-time transcoding
Access privilege settings

* Playback quality may vary due to factors including playback software, file formats, system usage, and available bandwidth. H.265 hardware transcoding requires installing CAYIN MediaSign Player with Plus license.
** Test environment: TVS-h674T; TVS-672XT. Tested by using a 4K H.265 60fps file transcodes into an HD H.264 30fps file. Figures may vary by environment.

Accelerate your work with SSD technologies

Benefit from QNAP’s SSD technologies to gain improved NAS performance. Here is recommended use scenarios for SSDs.

2 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 x4 slots

  • NVMe SSD volume for video editing

    Create a super-fast volume using M.2 NVMe SSDs and use it for working on in-progress projects. Archived data and previous projects can be stored on larger and cost-efficient HDD volumes.

  • SSD caching for VMs

    Configure SSDs for cache acceleration to improve random access, IOPS-demanding applications, and overall NAS performance.

  • System drive for QuTS hero operating system

    Use the NVMe SSD storage pool as the QuTS hero operating system drive to achieve optimal NAS system performance, efficient application metadata management, and optimized database operations.

Future-proof PCIe Gen 4 slots

The TVS-h874T comes with two PCIe Gen 4 slots, allowing you to add additional functionality (such as high-speed network connectivity) to meet growing workload and business requirements.

  • 25/10/5 GbE network card

    Enable lightning-fast throughput for bandwidth-demanding tasks such as 4K production or virtualization.

  • QM2 cards

    Adds M.2 SSD or extra 10/2.5 GbE connectivity to the NAS for optimized performance and bandwidth.

Economically expand storage capacity with JBODs

The TVS-h874T supports a storage capacity of up to 154 TB. As your storage requirements increase, QNAP JBOD enclosures are available providing a total storage capacity of 396 TB.

  • Expand storage capacity up to

    396 TB

Note: QNAP JBOD enclosures can only be used as an independent storage pool or volume and cannot be combined with the storage pool or disk volume of the NAS host. NAS applications can only be installed on the host NAS.

4K HDMI™ output

The TVS-h874T features an HDMI™ monitor output that supports 4K (4096 x 2160p) @30Hz, providing great benefits for applications like video production/editing or industrial design that demands high resolution and intensive media storage, transfer, and display.

Creator-oriented operating system that supports data self-healing and more

The ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system provides flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance to meet the demands of creative professionals.

  • Data self-healing

    As files get larger and data transmission gets faster, the chance of silent data corruption also increases. QuTS hero can detect and automatically self-heal corrupted data to ensure the integrity of your files.

  • RAID Z. Designed for dealing with important data

    ZFS-based QuTS hero supports multiple RAID levels, including RAID Triple Parity and Triple Mirror that deliver higher levels of data protection.

  • Prevent simultaneous SSD failure

    RAID-level SSD lifespan is automatically and regularly detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure, improving your data protection and system reliability.

Work with your favorite video editing software

The TVS-h874T is compatible with Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, and iMovie. A collaboration editing environment of Adobe Premiere Pro Productions or DaVinci Resolve can also be built on the TVS-h874T.

Extra protect for your work

Data backup is always a top priority for creators, and QNAP has you covered. All you need is to schedule jobs, and the NAS does the rest.

  • Backup

    Back up your NAS files to cloud services such as Google Drive™, Dropbox®, and 30+ supported major storage services with Hybrid Backup Sync or MARS (for Google Photos backup). You can also choose remote servers or external storage devices as backup destinations.

  • Snapshots

    While backups can protect your data from accidental deletion, modification, or hardware failure, Snapshots help protect against the impact of ransomware. Take scheduled, lightweight and no-time-consuming snapshots to protect the content of your NAS files.

Manage your video projects flexibly with myQNAPcloud Storage

Elevate your video production with the compact and powerful TVS-h874T. During pre-production, you can save large RAW files (hot data) and handle video transcoding on the TVS-h874T. In post-production you can store small files (cold data) to myQNAPcloud Storage for file archiving and backup, making it easier to remotely access, synchronize, and share files with cross-site team members.

High availability (HA) and failover with dual-NAS architecture

Avoid unplanned downtime and data loss. Dive into details

Create a HA cluster with two TVS-h874T — one as the active server, and the other as the passive server. If an unexpected failure or issue with the active server occurs, the passive server provides immediate protection with automatic failover. This ensures continuous storage service and system availability.

High availability (HA) and failover with dual-NAS architecture
  • Easy management and monitoring

    Use the High Availability Manager app to easily configure, remove, or rebuild clusters.

  • Guaranteed data consistency

    Real-time data sync between active and passive servers minimizes the risk of data loss (RPO).

  • Ensured continuity of critical business

    The passive server takes over within 1 minute if the active server fails (RTO < 60 secs).

The best file storage and collaboration center

The TVS-h874T integrates rich apps for storing, managing, synchronizing, searching, and archiving files. It supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols for streamlined file sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX®, and provides the smartest NAS solution for professionally managing your files.
