Dual-core high performance
The TS-351 is designed for home and small offices, allowing you to effortlessly manage files and enjoy multimedia entertainment while also providing reliable data protection. It uses an Intel® Celeron® J1800 dual-core 2.41 GHz processor (burst up to 2.58 GHz) and 2GB/4GB DDR3L memory (upgradable to 8GB), provides 3.5-inch SATA 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s drive bays, and supports AES 256-bit encryption for both full NAS volumes and shared folders, ensuring system performance while protecting the confidentiality of sensitive business data stored in the NAS.
M.2 SSDs for cache acceleration or efficient tiered storage
The TS-351 supports SSD caching, and features two M.2 slots that support M.2 PCIe (Gen2 x1, up to 500 MB/s) NVMe SSDs with 2280 form factors (sold separately) for boosting the overall workflow of intensive, IOPS-demanding applications. Moreover, Qtier™ technology empowers the TS-351 with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency across M.2 SSDs, a 2.5-inch SATA SSD, and high-capacity HDDs with around-the-clock acceleration. The new Qtier™ 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSD.
Snapshots protect your data against ransomware
Snapshots help protect your data by fully recording the NAS system state and metadata. Use Storage & Snapshots Manager or File Station to easily manage snapshots and quickly restore the system to a normal state if an error occurs. QNAP snapshots are block-based and only record the changed data. Not only does this save storage space but also reduces the time required to back up and restore data. The TS-351 with 4GB RAM can support up to 256 snapshots per NAS and 256 snapshots per volume/LUN.
