Just a week after QNAP’s announcement about their new TS-x63U NAS Series, the company revealed that the TVS-871T line is now shipping, their new networked storage appliance designed to offer photographers and high definition video producers an efficient way to manage content.  The new TVS-871T is the industry’s first hybrid NAS/DAS/iSCSI IP-SAN to offer direct storage access while leveraging two Thunderbolt 2 ports as well as full NAS functionality through Gigabit/10GbE network connectivity. QNAP’s new NAS is equipped with 8 hot-swappable drive bays and an impressive maximum of 64TB of in-unit storage. The TVS-871T’s storage can be expanded using QNAP's TX expansion unit series (TX-800P and TX-500P), totaling up to 448TB in total raw storage.
