QNAP TBS-h574TX Thunderbolt 4 NAS Review

The QNAP TBS-h574TX is a small portable NAS that is the first we've seen that supports E1.S SSDs, alternatively, it can use M.2 SSDs as well.

The QNAP TBS-h574TX is a 5-bay, Thunderbolt 4-equipped, Network-Attached Storage unit designed primarily for video and media applications. It’s an all-flash-based NAS with the peculiar feature of using EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor) E1.S drives. These drives are primarily found in data centers and hyperscale applications and present an interesting choice for an end-user NAS. Fortunately, if you’re not an enterprise storage review outlet with easy access to E1.S drives, QNAP includes M.2 to E1.S sleds with your purchase. There’s a lot packed into this small footprint, so let’s look at the specs.
