The TVS-672X also include four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with up to 10Gb/s transfer speeds, allowing compatibility with newer, faster USB drives/expansion enclosures for transferring large media files.\n\nGet performance benefits from SSD caching and Qtier Technology\nTo attain optimal I/O and reduce latency, you can configure SSD caching by using either 2.5-inch SSDs or two M.2 NVMe 2280 SSDs (sold separately) in the TVS-672X. Extra M.2 SSD slots can also be added by installing QM2 PCIe cards, allowing you to configure your M.2 SSDs in a RAID 5/6 array to achieve higher sequential speed or a read-only cache speed similar to the performance of a RAID 10 array while maintaining high storage efficiency.\n\nAbundant I/O capabilities with PCIe expansion\nThe TVS-672X has two PCIe Gen 3 slots that allow for installing various expansion cards for expanding application potential.\n\nDirect 4K HDMI output for multimedia and virtual machines\nThe TVS-672X features Intel UHD Graphics 630 that supports hardware decoding and real-time transcoding*. The HDMI 2.0 output supports up to 4K (3840 x 2160p) @60Hz, providing great benefits for applications like video production/editing or industrial design that demands high resolution and color realism as well as intensive media storage, transfer and display. By connecting the TVS-672X to an HDMI display, you can operate virtual machines from Virtualization Station or Ubuntu Linux Station, or directly watch multimedia content saved on the NAS. QNAP's HD Station also allows users to directly enjoy multimedia using HD Player or third-party players like Plex Home Theater.\n\nProtect your data with higher security\nThe TVS-672X is loaded with comprehensive security features to keep your data safe.\nQuFirewall for network security: Supports IPv6, firewall access lists, and GeoIP filtering to restrict access upon the geographical location for higher network security.\nWPA2 Enterprise: Provides enterprise-grade wireless security for business networks, including certificate authority, encryption key, and enhanced encryption/decryption.\nSecurity Counselor: A security portal that checks for weaknesses and offers recommendations for enhancing NAS security. It also integrates anti-virus and anti-malware scanning software.\n\nA secure file center supporting regular backups and snapshot protection\nThe TVS-672X provides a reliable, flexible backup and disaster recovery solution to simplify routine backup jobs cost-efficiently and with high productivity.\n\nAll-in-one virtual machine and container hosting solution\nYou can count on Virtualization Station and Container Station for comprehensive virtualization support. Coupled with the Network & Virtual Switch app that boosts interoperability between virtual machines, containers, QNAP NAS, and other networked devices, you can flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deployment.\n\nLicense-free VMware and Hyper-V backup appliance\nWith Hyper Data Protector, the TVS-672X becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V VM backup. Hyper Data Protector features incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling and recovery compression. Hyper Data Protector also simultaneously backs up multiple VMs, providing you with a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery plan, ensuring 24/7 operation of your services.\n\nOptimized collaboration with seamless file sharing and sync\nThe TVS-672X centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX networks. Coupled with the Qsync utility, any file uploaded to the TVS-672X will become available for all linked devices (such as computers, laptops and mobiles). You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. The support of Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS), Windows AD and LDAP services assist system administrators in managing user accounts and permissions for multiple NAS devices with greater efficiency.\n\nBuild an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment\nCommon Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port 16Gb/32Gb Fibre Channel expansion cards in the TVS-672X, you have more budget-friendly options to add a NAS to a SAN environment.
