Perfect storage trio: tiered storage, application-based partitioning & network traffic distribution The advanced hardware design of TVS-1282T3 can facilitate optimized storage deployment based on different usage scenarios. Tiered Storage QNAP's Qtier Technology empowers the TVS-1282T3 with Auto Tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency across M.2 SSD, SSD & SATA drives. With Auto Tiering, the TVS-1282T3 can automatically move frequently-used "hot" data to high-performance storage tiers & less-accessed "cold" data to lower-cost, higher-capacity drives, making the TVS-1282T3 an extremely efficient shared resource. Qtier now supports “ On Demand Allocation Priority”, providing customizable flexibility to arrange tiered storage suited for your system environments & application demands. Application-based Partitioning Every application requires different performance. For example, Surveillance Station requires higher-priority access to storage to ensure the integrity of recordings, while normal transmission speeds are sufficient for file sharing. However, when multiple applications are running on the same storage media, the required throughput level cannot be guaranteed as the storage media is busy handling I/O requests from all of them. The TVS-1282T3 supports three different types of storage media: M.2, SSD & SATA hard drives, & they can be configured as independent partitions for different applications, ensuring a sufficient throughput level for every application. Network Traffic Distribution With four Gb E ports & two 10 Gb E ports, the TVS-1282T3 allows applications to use dedicated interfaces to meet network traffic distribution requirements. Network interfaces can also be easily managed with the Network & Virtual Switch app, which enables optimized network resources for TVS-1282T3, virtual machines & containerized apps. No matter if they are business organizations or individual users, they can effortlessly manage network connections by using the Network & Virtual Switch. 4K HDMI output with a free remote control for an excellent audiovisual experience The TVS-1282T3 comes with three HDMI ports (4K 30hz output) for using three monitors in either "duplicated" or "extended" desktop configuration. You can connect the TVS-1282T3 to a HDTV or A/V receiver & use the media player in Hybrid Desk Station (HD Station) to enjoy rich media content & 4K videos. HD Station supports multi-tasking & user authentication so only authorized users can access the stored data. Besides using the bundled remote control, you can also turn your mobile devices into remote controls by installing the Qremote app to control HD Station. Access 10 Gb E networks over Thunderbolt with Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet (T2E) As Apple computers do not natively support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Mac users previously needed to purchase a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to high-speed Ethernet networks. The innovative Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet (T2E) allows computers without Ethernet ports (such as Mac Book Pro) to access 10 Gb E network resources over a Thunderbolt™ connection to the TVS-1282T3. This saves users from having to buy adapters or converters & greatly streamlines the connectivity process.
