TAIPEI, Taiwan, October 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    QNAP(R) Systems, Inc. announced the world's first Thunderbolt(TM) 2 Turbo vNAS
TVS-871T that features 20Gbps bandwidth, 4K video capable Thunderbolt 2 and compatibility

    Powered by a high-performance Intel(R) Haswell processor with options including Quad

the Thunderbolt 2 network, completely independently and with no bandwidth interference.
With dual Thunderbolt 2 ports available, users can flexibly arrange their workstation
connections with the TVS-871T and its storage expansion enclosures based on their needs to
enjoy high accessibility, optimal collaboration and seamless expand the storage capacity
up to 448 TB.

    "Most current Thunderbolt DAS users are frustrated with being unable to share large
amount of files quickly to increase productivity. The TVS-871T Thunderbolt 2 Turbo vNAS
perfectly integrates the high-speed storage of Thunderbolt DAS and flexible file sharing
of 10GbE networks, completely solving the obstacles faced by conventional Thunderbolt DAS
users," said David Tsao, Product Manager of QNAP.

    The TVS-871T is a perfect match for Thunderbolt 2-capable Macs. Up to 2 Mac
workstations can connect to a TVS-871T to process real-time video editing simultaneously.
Mac users can effortlessly back up Mac(R) data to the TVS-871T with Apple Time Machine(R).
Assisting in creative workflows, the TVS-871T delivers powerful and stable throughput for
real-time non-linear video editing and also allows multi-track video editing with the
lowest latency. Users can connect a 4K display to the TVS-871T via HDMI to directly play
4K videos and organise videos with Video Station.

    Featuring the latest QTS 4.2 operating system, the TVS-871T performs as an easy-to-use
yet powerful NAS for file storage, backup, sharing & synchronisation. With QvPC technology,
users can simply connect a keyboard, mouse and HDMI display for using the TVS-871T as a
