THE TVS-871U-RP-I3-4G EXTERIOR

The 9.9kg heavy TVS-871U-RP measures 482mm in length, 534mm in depth and just 89mm in height.

Once again the company logo is placed on the left upper corner of the fascia.

I was slightly disappointed to see that the TVS-871U-RP doesn't have a front LCD status screen but just 4 small activity LEDs (10 GbE, Status, LAN, Storage Expansion Port Status) right beneath the power on/off button.

This model offers 8 removable trays all of which have their very own status LEDs placed on the right side of the fascia and of course locks.

The trays can accommodate both 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives and are made by aluminum.

On the top left corner QNAP has placed the cloud sticker which can simplify installation of the NAS.

The HDD sequence sticker is placed on the exact opposite side.

Everything else is placed at the rear of the NAS.

Here we see 4 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports (strangely enough all the USB ports are at the rear), HDMI port, two expansion slots and two 250W PSUs (cooled by their own 40mm fans).
