On the occasion of storage technology advancing faster and faster, QNAP is evolving its NAS drives to offer only Flash storage. On the occasion of the event held yesterday in Madrid, the manufacturer showed us a series of NAS based solely on U.2 storagealthough it also has hybrid systems which will improve read and write speeds. Thanks to this new faster storage, speeds of up to 16 GB/s of sequential reading and 11 GB/s of sequential writing are achieved, which will allow to face the highest bandwidth and data access currently sued.
He QNAP TS-h1290FX NAS desktop has 12 available bays solely for U.2 NVMe flash storage or SATA SSD. In addition to this, it will also have AMD EPYC processors25 GbE/2.5 GbE network cards and the possibility of expansion through PCIe 4.0 slots that can add cards with the possibility of reaching the 100GbE.
It will also have 1U rack units, such as the QNAP TS-h1090FU with capacity for up to 10 U.2 drives or SATA 6Gbps. This NAS is more geared towards data centers to support heavy workloads with low latency. It also includes AMD EPYC processors With 25GbE/2.5GbE and possibility of expansion PCIe 4.0.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
