5 Key Features of the QNAP TS-873A NAS

Pre-installed 10GbE card The TS-873A ships with a 10GbE card already installed in one of its PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots, saving you the cost and hassle of adding one yourself.

Two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots You get two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots total. One is occupied by the 10GbE card, leaving the other free for further expansion like adding more networking or storage controllers.

Expandable drive bays Connect QNAP expansion units to the remaining PCIe slot to add more drive bays beyond the built-in eight.

Eight drive bays The NAS supports up to eight 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives, giving you plenty of storage capacity for most home or small business needs.

Gen 3 x4 bandwidth Each PCIe slot offers Gen 3 x4 bandwidth, which is sufficient for 10GbE networking and most expansion cards without bottlenecking performance.
