All-flash NASbook supporting E1.S SSDs - a perfect companion for video production
Compared to large rackmount all-flash array storage, the TBS-h574TX all-flash NASbook provides five SSD slots in a compact and portable design. Its high-speed read/write performance is specifically tailored for video editors and VFX professionals. Equipped with QNAP enterprise-grade E1.S SSDs, users benefit from a robust combination of performance, stability, and data security. The TBS-h574TX seamlessly works with USB DAS (such as TR-004) for efficient file backup and archiving, that keeps it in optimal condition for a seamless flow into every creative challenge.
Maximize uptime with hot-swappable E1.S SSD
Frontline video production teams are sometimes at risk of project interruptions due to unexpected SSD failures in storage devices. The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable SSDs, along with conditional automatic RAID replacement with spares. If an SSD enters a critical state, the system automatically moves data from the affected drive to a spare in the RAID group, seamlessly integrating it into the existing RAID without the need for RAID rebuilding. This significantly reduces the risk of data loss.
Hot-swappable E1.S SSD: Future-proof storage
The TBS-h574TX supports hot-swappable E1.S SSDs, providing reliable high-density data transfer with optimal cooling efficiency and making it perfect for accommodating future storage needs.
QNAP Enterprise E1.S SSDs: Performance, Reliability, Security
QNAP-certified enterprise E1.S SSDs are built for high-density data access and include multiple layers of data protection, ensuring stable, high-speed performance for creative professionals.
Seamlessly compatibility
Tested for reliability and seamless integration with QNAP NAS for peak performance.
High-speed and low latency
Up to 70,000 IOPS (4K random write) boosts the efficiency of VFX editing and small file access.
Long-lasting durability
Designed for 24/7 high-intensity read/write workloads with extended lifespan.
Power loss protection
Supports PLP (Power Loss Protection) to prevent data loss or corruption during unexpected power outages.
Self-encryption
TCG Opal SED hardware encryption protects confidential files from unauthorized access.
High-performance SSDs. Effective heat dissipation.
Designed with an excellent cooling system, the TBS-h574TX is equipped with dual fans and supports SSD heatsinks (heatsinks sold separately) to effectively enhance heat dissipation during intensive workloads, allowing creators to confidently enjoy the ultimate performance of SSD.
Thunderbolt 4 direct connection to workstations for higher productivity
The TBS-h574TX has two Thunderbolt 4 ports for high-speed data transfer (up to 20Gbps bandwidth). Mac (including M1 and M2 chip models) or Windows workstations can directly connect to the TBS-h574TX for fast and smooth real-time video editing, allowing for the transfer of a 1TB 4K video just in 11 minutes.
Transmission efficiency
TBS-h574TX (1 x Direct connected client)
Write: 1393MB/s, Read: 1410MB/s
Diverse I/O, greater possibilities.
2.5GbE and 10GbE ports | Productive teamwork
The 2.5GbE and 10GbE ports can be used with a network switch to add more connected devices to the TBS-h574TX for collaboration, significantly reducing file transfer times across devices.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports | Faster file import/export
Creators and editors can easily import materials from external storage devices to the TBS-h574TX via two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports and one USB 2.0 port during pre-/post-production.
USB ports | Easier storage expansion
The TBS-h574TX capacity is scalable by connecting QNAP USB DAS TR-004 or USB JBOD TL-D800C to archive massive number of video files for ever-growing storage and backup needs.
Compact, aesthetic, yet unmatched performance
The TBS-h574TX provides content creators the perfect combination of stylish design and performance. With its metal-finish case, it delivers optimized cooling performance. The set-top design makes the TBS-h574TX space-saving - smaller than A4 paper and with only 2.54 liters in volume - ideal for small-scale studios or video production teams looking for a portable solution.
Next-gen Intel Core processors with hybrid architecture for multitasking potential
The TBS-h574TX adopts Intel Core hybrid-architecture processor with P-core (Performance-core) and E-core (Efficient-core) performance. Multi-core and multi-thread advantages enable higher multitasking performance with lower CPU workloads and resource consumption, empowering creators with higher productivity.
Processor: Intel Core i5-1235U 10-core (2P+8E) and 12-thread processor, up to 4.4 GHz
Memory: Built-in 16GB DDR4 memory
GPU: Built-in Intel Iris Xe Graphics accelerate video processing and graphical computing
Encryption Engine: Features Intel AES-NI 256 hardware-accelerated encryption to boost system performance while securing sensitive data
Ultimate visual experience with real-time video transcoding and 4K HDMI output
The TBS-h574TX features built-in Intel Graphics that accelerates video transcoding and graphical computing for converting videos to different formats smoothly. You can also display videos from the TBS-h574TX to a large screen using HDMI (4K @30Hz) for capturing details and clearer quality.
Double your protection with hybrid cloud: Backup to myQNAPcloud Storage and access anytime
Back up your TBS-h574TX to myQNAPcloud Storage using Hybrid Backup Sync for secure, efficient data management-without any additional bandwidth fees. The TBS-h574TX also supports 20+ major public clouds, ensuring near-LAN access speeds for seamless cloud sharing and multi-point synchronization.
QNAP is an official Adobe Partner for video and audio solutions
Build the best music server with Roon
Designed for music lovers, Roon Server identifies your entire music library stored on the TBS-h574TX, and consolidates it into Roon's interconnected digital library. Experiencing smooth music streaming service, you just need to download Roon Server app from QNAP App Center and enable Roon music library on SSD storage devices with simple setting.
Leverage AI to predict NVMe SSD drive failure
Featuring AI-powered diagnostics technology, ULINK DA Drive Analyzer leverages historical usage data of millions of drives to intelligently predict drive failure. It supports NVMe SSD failure prediction, allowing you to prepare in advance for drive failure before it occurs and ensure the safety of data stored on the TBS-h574TX.
