Qnap TVS-h674-i3-16G 6-bay NAS 16 GB DDR4

Six-bay NAS for media and virtualization

The Qnap TVS-h674-i3-16G is a six-bay network-attached storage device built around an Intel Core i3-12100 processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets home users and small offices that need a private cloud, media server, or virtualization host in a single desktop unit. The system ships without drives, letting buyers choose their own SATA hard drives or SSDs.

Sustained throughput with 2.5 GbE and PCIe expansion

Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports keep file transfers and streaming steady under continuous load, while two PCIe Gen 4 slots accept faster network cards or NVMe cache adapters. The CPU’s UHD Graphics 730 and OpenVINO acceleration offload AI image recognition and real-time transcoding, preventing the cores from saturating during long sessions. Hot-plug bays let administrators swap drives without interrupting services.

Vertical chassis with tool-less drive trays

The vertical tower uses tool-less trays for the six 3.5-inch bays, so installation is a matter of sliding drives in until they click. Two M.2 2280 slots sit inside the case for NVMe cache modules, and a single HDMI 1.4b port connects directly to a display for local media playback. Builders must supply their own SATA drives and any PCIe add-in cards, as none are included.
