QNAP TS-1655 NAS Tower Ethernet LAN Black C5125 TS-1655-8G
Balance performance and cost with hybrid storage. Designed for diversified business IT environments, the high-capacity TS-1655 has twelve 3. 5-inch SATA drive bays (for HDDs) and four 2. 5-inch SATA drive bays (for SSDs) with 2. 5Gb E high-speed connectivity. Fueled by an immense 8-core Intel Processor, the TS-1655 presents a secure, scalable, and complete business-ready storage solution for cross-team file sharing, collaboration, backup & disaster recovery, virtualization, and intensive data transmission. The TS-1655 will be available and supported by QNAP for an extended period (up to 2027), ideal for businesses requiring matching NAS models deployed in multiple locations. Eight cores up to 2. 8 GHz, Intel Quick Assist Technology, and up to 128 GB memory The TS-1655 adopts the Intel Atom C5125 8-core processor (Burst up to 2. 8 GHz) that supports Intel Quick Assist Technology (QAT), offloading computationally-intensive compression and improving IPsec/SSL cryptography performance. The TS-1655 comes with four UDIMM DDR4 slots (8 GB preinstalled) that can be upgraded to 128 GB for higher workloads. Error-Correcting Code memory is also supported to deliver server-grade performance and reliability for rugged enterprise IT environments as a cost-efficient NAS solution. Affordable, faster 2. 5Gb E meets today’s high-bandwidth demands Featuring two native 2. 5Gb E RJ45 LAN ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M), the TS-1655 allows you to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2. 5 Gigabit using existing CAT5e cables. Port Trunking and failover support further satisfies bandwidth and reliability demanding applications including virtualization, large file transfers, high-speed backup/restoration, and real-time applications. QNAP also offers numerous managed/unmanaged 2. 5Gb E/10Gb E switches, assisting organizations in implementing high-speed, secure, and scalable network environments without going over budget. M. 2 slots for SSD caching and accelerated AI-powered image recognition

Reviewing after running for several months...As an introduction I'm somewhat tech savvy but know little about networking and never had more than a consumer grade 2 bay NAS.First off, this comes in a nice big box for very good protection. Open it up and you have a very well packed big cube of metal. Pull out a plastic drive bay tray and try to figure out how to get it back in with the drive attached....scratch your head and try again....maybe once again and it'll slide in like butter. Takes a couple of minutes to figure it out but once you do the rest are easy and you're good for life.I suggest that you figure out any upgrades before deploying because adding memory, a pci card, or m2 ssd's requires you to shutdown, unplug and remove 12-16 really small screws to ... MoreReviewing after running for several months...As an introduction I'm somewhat tech savvy but know little about networking and never had more than a consumer grade 2 bay NAS.First off, this comes in a nice big box for very good protection.

Once you get it disassembled there is plenty of room to work and get it done.I added some generic memory purchased from B&H as well as a couple of M2 drives. I suggest getting the M2 drives with integrated heat sinks since they still run a little hot, though in the acceptable range.On the subject of heat, no issues, I have 12 drives and 2 M2's everything is running well within drive manufacturer specs.Little LCD panel on the front is great. Why doesn't every manufacturer spend the extra $1 on a little panel? Certainly not necessary but very convenient.Noise - I can't help you here since it is in a relatively noisy room but since it is a NAS, you can put it pretty much anywhere on your network. I wouldn't put it into my bedroom or living room since it has at least 3 fans.One of my raids on this box is running eight 18TB disks at raid level 10 and had a disk failure. Hot swapped another disk in and rebuild took 24 hours which to me is completely acceptable.The QNAP software looks very intimidating but surprisingly simple to use if you take it slowly. Setting up initial raid settings is pretty easy though requires a little googling for new users like me. Setting up port trunking for the dual 2.5 gig network cards is just a click. There are various software packages that might be helpful and they install with just a click too.Lots of little blinking lights to make it look important too.Overall very happy with this purchase.

I searched and researched for the perfect NAS unit. I finally settled on the QNAP TS-1655 because of unlimited options of future upgrades like maxing out the RAM memory to 128 GBs, the 2 M.2 hard drive ports you can designate to the system cache, not to mention the 16 hard drive bays. I already added 2Samsung 1TB 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2Samsung and 64GB of RAM memory with plans to add 2 more to max out the four memory slots on the QNAP TS-1655 16-Bay NAS Enclosure. I am very happy with this purchase.
