QNAP has recently launched its TS-hx87XU-RP series, a line of NAS devices available in 9, 18, 22, and 30-bay models. The family of NAS integrates the Intel Xeon E-2300 series processors with 10GbE and 2.5GbE Multi-Gig connectivity and an HDD/SSD hybrid storage architecture that balances performance, capacity, and cost. Under review today is the 18-bay model. The QNAP TS-h1887XU-RP features 12x 3.5" HDD bays in the front and 6x 2.5" SATA bays in the back, in a 2U chassis.
