Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the TS-1273AU-RP-8G-US lies the AMD Ryzen V1500B processor, a quad-core CPU operating at 2.20 GHz that provides robust processing capabilities for storage management, data deduplication, and virtualization tasks. The 8 GB of DDR4 SDRAM ensures smooth operation of the QTS 4.4.2 operating system and concurrent access to stored data, while 5 GB of flash memory accelerates system responsiveness.
Network connectivity is handled by dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support modern high-speed networks, reducing bottlenecks during large file transfers and multi-user access. The system includes two PCI Express 3.0 x4 expansion slots for adding network cards, storage controllers, or other peripherals to extend functionality. Four USB ports (including one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port) provide convenient connectivity for external storage, UPS management, or peripheral devices.
