QNAP Launches SAS-Enabled Turbo NAS Units, Updates QTS 4.0 OS
 

QNAP is on a roll lately, with the launch of five new business-class Turbo NAS models supporting both SAS and SATA drives. These models are all rackmounts. While the TS-EC1679U-RP and TS-EC1279U-RP support both 2.5" and 3.5" SAS / SATA 6 Gbps drives, three (SS-EC2479U-SAS-RP, SS-EC1879U-RP and
SS-EC1279U-SAS-RP) are 2.5"-only high-density models with 24, 18 and 12 bays respectively.

All the new models are equipped with quad-core Xeon processors running at 3.4 GHz (the Xeon E3-1275, in all probability), 8GB of DDR3 ECC RAM and are 10 GbE-ready. SSD caching support is also available for improved IOPS in virtualization and data-center deployments. Scalability up to 400 TB is also advertised with support for the QNAP RAID expansion enclosures (REXP-1600U-RP and REXP-1200U-RP). The solutions carry certifications from all major virtualization solutions. Hop on to the source link for detailed specifications of the new models.
