QNAP streamlines creators’ workflows
The TVS-h874T is more than a simple backup/archiving machine, and provides a total solution for encouraging your creativity with various technologies. Let’s take a look at its game-changing improvements for your workflows.

Two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports as standard
The TVS-h874T has two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports and works perfectly with Macs using Apple Silicon (such as M1 and M2 chips) and Intel® processors, and Windows PCs.

Photographers/videographers using external USB4™ or common USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-C SSDs can easily import files with the One-Touch-Copy function of their NAS.

12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor
The TVS-h874T adopts an Intel® Core™ processor with Intel® UHD Graphics 770 to increase multi-tasking capabilities, offering creators a secure, reliable, and high-performance NAS solution.

How should post-production use a NAS and DAS?
Employing a NAS on your existing file-based workflow will save time and effort by adding the features that a DAS doesn't have.

Access between Mac/PC
NAS folders can be seamlessly accessed from Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder via both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. QNAP’s complete networking solutions (including 25/10 GbE switches, network cards, and adaptors) provide the speed, scalability, and flexibility you need.

1.5x faster real-time transcoding
With hardware transcoding powered by a built-in GPU, files can be optimized for browsing on various devices*. This accelerates the work efficiency of post-production crews by saving time for checking the files on their devices. The TVS-h874T’s transcoding performance is 1.5x better than previous models

Access privilege settings
A DAS cannot prevent unauthorized file access if lost or stolen. On the QNAP NAS user interface you can flexibly set adequate file/folder access rights based for teams and individual users.

Accelerate your work with SSD technologies
Benefit from QNAP’s SSD technologies to gain improved NAS performance. Here is recommended use scenarios for SSDs.

NVMe SSD volume for video editing
Create a super-fast volume using M.2 NVMe SSDs and use it for working on in-progress projects. Archived data and previous projects can be stored on larger and cost-efficient HDD volumes.

SSD caching for VMs
Configure SSDs for cache acceleration to improve random access, IOPS-demanding applications, and overall NAS performance.

Future-proof PCIe Gen 4 slots
The TVS-h874T comes with two PCIe Gen 4 slots, allowing you to add additional functionality (such as high-speed network connectivity) to meet growing workload and business requirements.

25/10/5 GbE network card
Enable lightning-fast throughput for bandwidth-demanding tasks such as 4K production or virtualization.

QM2 cards
Adds M.2 SSD or extra 10/2.5 GbE connectivity to the NAS for optimized performance and bandwidth.

Economically expand storage capacity with JBODs
The TVS-h874T supports a storage capacity of up to 154 TB1. As your storage requirements increase, QNAP JBOD enclosures are available providing a total storage capacity of 396 TB

4K HDMI™ output
The TVS-h874T features an HDMI™ monitor output that supports 4K (4096 x 2160p) @30Hz, providing great benefits for applications like video production/editing or industrial design that demands high resolution and intensive media storage, transfer, and display.

Creator-oriented operating system that supports data self-healing and more
The ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system provides flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance to meet the demands of creative professionals.

Data self-healing
As files get larger and data transmission gets faster, the chance of silent data corruption also increases. QuTS hero can detect and automatically self-heal corrupted data to ensure the integrity of your files.

RAID Z. Designed for dealing with important data
ZFS-based QuTS hero supports multiple RAID levels, including RAID Triple Parity and Triple Mirror that deliver higher levels of data protection.

Prevent simultaneous SSD failure
RAID-level SSD lifespan is automatically and regularly detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure, improving your data protection and system reliability.

Extra protect for your work
Data backup is always a top priority for creators, and QNAP has you covered. All you need is to schedule jobs, and the NAS does the rest.

Backup
Back up your NAS files to cloud services such as Google Drive™, Dropbox®, and 30+ supported major storage services with Hybrid Backup Sync or MARS (for Google Photos backup). You can also choose remote servers or external storage devices as backup destinations.

Snapshots
While backups can protect your data from accidental deletion, modification, or hardware failure, Snapshots help protect against the impact of ransomware. Take scheduled, lightweight and no-time-consuming snapshots to protect the content of your NAS files.

Manage your video projects flexibly with myQNAPcloud Storage
Elevate your video production with the compact and powerful TVS-h874T. During pre-production, you can save large RAW files (hot data) and handle video transcoding on the TVS-h874T. In post-production you can store small files (cold data) to myQNAPcloud Storage for file archiving and backup, making it easier to remotely access, synchronize, and share files with cross-site team members.

The best file storage and collaboration center
The TVS-h874T integrates rich apps for storing, managing, synchronizing, searching, and archiving files. It supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols for streamlined file sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX®, and provides the smartest NAS solution for professionally managing your files.

Near-LAN access speeds to the cloud for sharing and multi-point sync
HybridMount supports cloud storage gateway mode to enable low-latency access to the cloud with local caching on the TVS-h874T. Major file storage providers such as Google Drive™ or Dropbox®, and object storage such as Amazon S3® are supported. Teams working from multiple locations can access, sync, and share cloud-based files using HybridMount without being limited by the Local Area Network.

A health check for your hard drives
Hard drives are at the heart of your NAS, and ensuring their long-term health and reliability is absolutely crucial. QNAP provides various methods and tools to help you monitor hard drive health, ensuring that you can take proactive decisions to safeguard your data and files.
