QNAP TS-932PX-4G NAS
The QNAP TS-932PX-4G NAS is a powerful 9-bay storage solution designed for small to medium businesses that need high-speed connectivity, reliable data protection, and flexible scalability. Featuring an AnnapurnaLabs AL-324 quad-core 1.7 GHz processor, 4GB DDR4 RAM (expandable), and dual 10GbE SFP+ plus dual 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, it ensures fast data transfer and smooth multitasking.
With support for up to 132TB raw capacity, RAID protection levels, SSD caching, and QNAP’s QTS 5.2 operating system, the TS-932PX-4G is ideal for file sharing, backup, virtualization, and surveillance applications. It also integrates seamlessly with cloud services, offering hybrid storage and backup flexibility.
The quad-core 1.7GHz TS-932PX fits nine drive bays into the size of a 5-bay NAS. With five 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s drive bays and four 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s bays, the TS-932PX provides the ability to create an HDD/SSD hybrid infrastructure to boost application performance. With two 10GbE SFP+ and two 2.5GbE LAN ports, the TS-932PX supports next-generation networks for empowering bandwidth-demanding applications and providing smoother file access and sharing.
- Two 10GbE SFP+ and two 2.5GbE RJ45 network ports empower bandwidth-demanding tasks and accelerate file sharing.
- HBS provides comprehensive backup and data recovery; QuDedup deduplicates the data at the source to optimize storage and bandwidth usage, while reducing backup times.
- Snapshots record your system status, allowing you to protect files and data from accidental deletion and malware attacks.
- Cloud storage gateways realize hybrid cloud applications by working with the cache space reserved on NAS to ensure low-latency data access to the cloud.
- Qtier™ auto-tiering technology and SSD caching enable constant storage optimization.
- Increase the storage capacity of the TS-932PX with QNAP TR RAID expansion enclosures or TL JBOD.
Energy-efficient Quad-core Processor
Powered by 64-bit quad-core 1.7GHz ARM Cortex-A57 processor and 4 GB DDR4 RAM (expandable to 16 GB), the TS-932PX features is highly energy efficient without impacting system or application performance.
Supports AES-128-GMAC for SMB signing acceleration
SMB signing (also known as security signatures) is a security mechanism in the SMB protocol. For business applications that demand high-level security, SMB signing helps enhance file sharing security by protecting against interception attacks. However, SMB signing can also negatively impact data transmission performance. QTS 5.1.0 supports AES-128-GMAC signing acceleration (only in Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 clients) that not only greatly increases data signing efficiency over SMB 3.1.1 but also enhances the CPU utilization of the NAS system – providing the best balance of security and performance

Boost NAS performance with 2.5-inch SATA SSDs
SSDs can greatly improve NAS performance without requiring a heavy investment. The TS-932PX supports SSD cache technology, Qtier™ auto-tiering, and SSD over-provisioning, helping you to balance storage performance, storage allocation, and IT expenses.
Learn More: SSD features
Protect Important Data with Snapshots
Snapshots fully record the NAS system state and metadata and can be used to quickly restore files to previously-recorded states if they are accidentally deleted/modified or if the system is compromised by ransomware. QNAP snapshots are block-based and only record modified data. Not only does this save storage space, but also reduces the time required to back up and restore data. The TS-932PX supports up to 256 snapshots per NAS and up to 64 snapshots per volume or LUN.
Learn More: Volume & LUN Snapshots
Multi-Point File Backup, Access, and Sync
The TS-932PX supports common file sharing protocols (including SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS) for Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX® devices. Coupled with Qsync (a utility that transforms a QNAP NAS into a secure, high-capacity data center for file synchronization) any file uploaded to the TS-932PX becomes available for all linked devices (such as computers, laptops, and mobile devices). Hybrid Backup Sync helps you easily backup or synchronize data on the TS-932PX to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage (including Microsoft One Drive®, Google Drive™, and Dropbox®) for disaster recovery.
