Flexible PCIe expansion
Three PCIe slots allow for installing 5/10/25GbE adapters, Fibre Channel cards, or QM2 cards to increase application performance.

Virtual machines and containers
Host virtual machines and containerized apps on one device to optimize resource utilization and IT budgeting. Supports SR-IOV.

Hybrid cloud
Realize hybrid cloud applications by working with the cache space reserved on NAS to ensure low-latency cloud data access.

Storage scalability
Satisfy ever-growing storage needs by connecting flexible and economical QNAP expansion enclosures.

Eight cores up to 2.8 GHz, Intel® QuickAssist Technology, and up to 128 GB memory
The TS-1655 adopts the Intel® Atom® C5125 8-core 2.8 GHz processor that supports Intel® QuickAssist 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 2.5GbE meets today’s high-bandwidth demands
Featuring two native 2.5GbE 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 2.5GbE/10GbE switches, assisting organizations in implementing high-speed, secure, and scalable network environments without going over budget.
