Running on the new 64-bit QTS 4.3 operating system, the TVS-882ST2 supports the Thunderbolt to Ethernet (T2E) Converter, which allows the Thunderbolt port to function as an Ethernet connection. This enables users of devices without Ethernet ports to connect to networks without needing an additional adapter. Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapters (sold separately) can also be used with the TVS-882ST2 to provide additional connectivity options.
“The TVS-882ST2 is a powerful NAS that delivers incredible performance and connectivity to meet the demands of storage-intensive tasks such as editing high-resolution media files. With its exclusive use of 2.5-inch drives, the TVS-882ST2 is also incredibly compact and especially well-suited for small studios and other space-constrained environments,” commented Jason Hsu, Product Manager at QNAP. “Users can choose to use standard HDDs or SSDs with either Thunderbolt 2 or a high-speed 10GbE transfer interface to complete their everyday tasks such as data access, data sharing, or video editing.”.
More than just a high-speed storage solution to boost workflows for video production and organization, the TVS-882ST2 can power a variety of digital applications with its extensive features. Virtualization Station allows users to host virtual machines based on Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Android™ on the NAS; Container Station integrates lightweight virtualization technologies LXC and Docker®; QvPC technology allows the TVS-882ST2 to be used as a PC by connecting a keyboard, mouse, and HDMI display; Linux Station also allows the TVS-882ST2 to be used as an Ubuntu®-based PC.
The TVS-882ST2 is easily expandable to meet growing data needs. Users can connect up to six Thunderbolt 2 expansion enclosures (TX-800P or TX-500P) or two expansion enclosures (UX-800P or UX-500P) to the TVS-882ST2 to maximize storage space. With VJBOD (Virtual JBOD), users can also leverage the TVS-882ST2 to extend the storage capacity of another QNAP NAS and create virtual storage pools and volumes on virtual disks for NAS services.
