Description

The TS-431X supports 4 hard drives and comes with a built-in 10GbE SFP+ port for rigorous data processing, providing a cost-effective storage solution for demanding everyday business tasks. The TS-431X provides versatile all-in-one server functionalities and unique features, including container station, which facilitates Internet of Things (IoT) development, and VJBOD (virtual JBOD), which allows for expanding NAS capacity with another NAS. The TS-431X is an ideal entry-level NAS for businesses, looking for backup, restoration, private cloud, storage for virtualization, and to future-proof their IT infrastructure for 10GbE networks.

  • High-performance CPU with hardware encryption engine

    The TS-431X is equipped with a powerful processor and advanced memory. Coupled with SATA, one 10GbE SFP+ LAN port and two Gigabit LAN ports, the TS-431X delivers high throughput. Supporting AES 256-bit volume-based data encryption, the TS-431X provides excellent encrypted speeds, boosting system performance and security, while ensuring the safety of sensitive business data, stored in the NAS.
  • 10GbE-ready with built-in 10GbE SFP+ port

    The TS-431X not only provides two inbuilt Gigabit Ethernet ports, but also one 10GbE SFP+ port to fully support 10GbE high-speed networks, capable of delivering lightning-fast throughput for businesses, that demand higher bandwidth for virtualization and fast backup and restoration for an ever-growing amount of data.
  • Cache acceleration

    The TS-431X supports hard drive caching for all drives to greatly boost the IOPS performance of storage volumes and increase operational efficiency. It is perfect for improving the overall workflow of IOPS-demanding applications and allows the optimal of both cost and performance by combining hard drives.
  • Take, store, share, and collaborate on notes with Notes Station

    Notes Station helps organize notes for your personal and working life. You can easily edit text, insert images/files from the NAS, fine-tune images with the image-editing tool, create sharing links to share notes, backup/restore your notes with snapshots, and ensure privacy with password protection and encryption. You can also invite people to collaborate on notes for greater teamwork! Notes Station provides a safe and convenient way of taking notes, that are fully under your control on your TS-431X's private cloud.
  • Comprehensive security to protect your data

    In open-network environments, business data may be exposed in a potential hack. The TS-431X provides numerous security possibilities, such as antivirus, encrypted access, IP blocking, 2-step verification, and more. IT administrators can also control the access rights of each user to different folders, preventing unauthorized access to important files. The TS-431X supports AES 256-bit encryption, preventing sensitive business data from unauthorized access and breach even if the hard drives or the entire system were stolen.
