Powered by a 2.1 GHz AMD RX-421ND Quad-Core processor, which can be boosted up to 3.4 GHz, and 4GB of DDR4 RAM, which can be upgraded to 64GB, the TS-473 4-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP is a high-performance and energy efficient system that provides two PCIe 3.0 x4 slots that can accommodate M.2 SSD caching/10GbE connectivity, a wireless network card, and an entry-level graphics card to boost performance for 4K video performance. The TS-473 allows you to flexibly deploy a wide range of applications with a more affordable budget.

Network connectivity is achieved using four Gigabit Ethernet ports. When two 10GbE cards are installed in the PCIe slots and used simultaneously, read speeds are supported up to 2347 MB/s and write speeds can reach 1764 MB/s. When transferring data with 10GbE and volume encryption, read speeds max out at 2310 MB/s and write speeds go up to 1681 MB/s.

This 4-bay enclosure natively supports 3.5″ SATA III hard drives, and 2.5″ hard drives and SSDs are also supported using included 2.5″ drive flat head screws. There are also two M.2 2260/2280 SATA III SSD slots. In order to enhance data transfers, SSD caching is supported on all four drive bays and both M.2 slots. Using the four 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports, this QNAP NAS can be connected to other devices, allowing you to easily transfer large media files and expand NAS storage. With a separately sold SAS PCIe expansion card and mini-SAS cable, this NAS can be expanded via two UX-800 or four REXP-1000 Pro expansion enclosures. Additionally, the TS-473 is validated with AES-NI and FIPS 140-2 AES 256-bit encryption, helping to prevent sensitive business data from unauthorized access and breaches.

QNAP has also engineered this NAS to also support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, each of which offers data redundancy, performance, or a combination of both. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD and single disk modes are also available. Included is a 250W AC adapter that runs using 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, a power cord, two Ethernet cables, two M.2 heatsinks, two flat head screws for M.2 SSDs, and twelve flat head screws for 2.5″ HDDs. Protection is provided by a limited 2-year warranty.

General Features

Increased NAS Potential with Two PCIe Slots

The TS-473 features two PCIe Gen3 x4 slots, allowing for installing single/dual-port 10GbE NICs to accelerate applications that demand higher bandwidth such as virtualization, media workflows, and backup/restoration tasks. Or, install a 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 (USB 3.1) expansion card for transferring large media files to and from USB storage. You can also install QM2 cards, wireless network cards, or an entry-level graphics card to extend NAS functionality.

2.1 GHz AMD R-Series RX-421ND Quad-Core

Equipped with a 2.1 GHz AMD R-Series RX-421ND Quad-Core processor (turbo core up to 3.4 GHz), with 4GB dual-channel DDR4 RAM (upgradeable to 64GB), the TS-473 enables fast multitasking with low power consumption for up to 2347 MB/s throughput with a 10GbE configuration. With a hardware-accelerated AES-NI encryption engine, the TS-473 provides encryption performance up to 2310 MB/s (with AES 256-bit full NAS volume encryption) to boost system performance while ensuring the safety of sensitive business data stored on the NAS.

SSD Caching and 10GbE Connectivity

The TS-473 supports the QM2 PCIe card that allows for adding up to two M.2 SSDs. You can configure SSD caching, or create a RAID 5 tiered storage along with the two M.2 SSDs in the NAS. As these M.2 SSDs will not occupy any 3.5″ drive bays, the QM2 card allows you to maximize both your storage capacity and performance. There are also QM2 cards that include 10GbE 10GBASE-T connectivity to provide SSD caching with high-speed network connectivity on a single card.

Note: M.2 SSDs for NAS and QM2 cards are sold separately.

SSD Cache with Qtier Optimization for Around-the-Clock Acceleration

The TS-473 features SSD caching and also supports optional M.2 SATA III 6 Gb/s SSDs (sold separately). Using an SSD cache boosts overall system performance and is suitable for improving the overall workflow of random IOPS demanding applications such as virtualization. QNAP’s Qtier technology also continuously optimizes storage efficiency by tiering files and data across M.2 SSDs, 2.5″ SSDs, and high-capacity 3.5″ SATA drives based on access frequency. 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 an SSD.

Note: The M.2 SSD is optional. As M.2 SSD operations can easily generate excessive heat, it is recommended to install a heatsink (from QNAP or a third-party provider) on the M.2 SSD.

Increased Computing Power and 4K Video Playback with a Graphics Card

The TS-473 allows for installing a low-power graphics card (powered solely by the PCIe slot) to boost system performance. With a graphics card installed, the TS-473 also enables smoother video editing workflows and supports 4K UHD transcoding to deliver a strong multimedia experience. You can also use the QNAP remote control (sold separately) or the Qremote mobile app to use the NAS as a home theater device.

Wireless Base Station

Install a compatible PCIe wireless network card (for example: QNAP QWA-AC2600) on the TS-473 and use with the WirelessAP Station app to use your NAS as a wireless base station. Your mobile devices and computers can directly connect to your NAS for easy access to its services and Internet connection.

Upgrade Your IT Environment with QNAP’s 10GbE Switch

QNAP 10GbE/NBASE-T unmanaged switches allow you to instantly upgrade your network environment at a cost-effective price. With a 10GbE network, you can enjoy fast transfer speeds, empower bandwidth-demanding tasks like virtualization, and enable simultaneous real-time access to large NAS-based files using multiple workstations (good for video editing and multimedia). QNAP also provides a 10GbE PCIe network expansion card for the TS-473 and Windows/Linux systems to take advantage of high-speed LAN environments.
