- Review of the New QNAP TS-873AU Ryzen Powered NAS Drive - Worth your Data? nascompares.com/2020/11/09/qn...
QNAP has been producing rackmount solutions quite early on in their portfolio, arguable earlier than the majority of NAS brand companies (so not counting the SAN or non-software featured SAS boxes that came before of course). Because of this, the brand has one large advantage and one large disadvantage over its rivals. On the plus side, it means that their portfolio is remarkably diverse, covered differing areas of budget, performance, hardware diversity and storage capacity. On the negative side, it makes the task of browsing through their catalogue of rackmount solutions remarkably tough, as even a casual glance at their line up reveals over 70 different Rackmount options (and that does not even take into account memory configurations and ZFS options). The result is that when a new QNAP solution arrives, you need to judge whether it is best for your home/business needs, but also whether you should choose it or an already existing QNAP NAS server. The new TS-873AU is the latest rackmount to arrive from QNAP to feature the Ryzen V1500B processor, a growing in popularity server CPU that brings a lot to the table. Appearing in more and more solutions as 2020 moves into 2021, it is easy to forget that QNAP were the first to introduce this processor and configuration into the NAS market. Wrapping the familiar architecture of their NAS rackmount solutions around this newer internal chipset, the TS-873AU promises to be a solution base to host your business data storage around, as well as supporting the full extend of QNAP QTS applications too. So, is the QNAP TS-873AU rackmount NAS worthy of your data? Is it a ‘chicken dinner’ or a ‘cold turkey’? Let’s find out.

Excellent review thanks very much
Love your NAS reviews. I have learnt so much.
If I were to get this now, as it is quite cheap now, and I am using an M2 Mac Mini as my plex server, will this will be fine to just serve as a Raid Nas to push the data to the server, with the Mac doing all the heavy lifting as far as encoding, etc?
Thx a lot
What does ZFS mean? Currently have a TVS-762XT (I Think) and looking to upgrade to a QNAP rack system
The updated TS-873AeU fixes some of these issues for sure, QuTS support, and NVME cashing. Still needs an LCD though.
I agree with many of the points you make but I add more reasons not to buy this device;
The drive-bays are not lockable, which I do find a bit surprising for an enterprise solution.
The system only has PCIe x8 (or 2x PCIe x4, depending when you bought the machine) which, to me, limites what expansion cards can be utilised effectively.
There many good things and also things QNAP can improve upon, and pricing is a thang, also for enterprise users..
Cant see any benefit for the TS-873AU other than rackmount when comparing it with TS-h973AX.
Less ram, no 10Gbe and more expensive. Hefty tax for rackmount and 3x3,5hdd instead of 4x2,5hdd
Am I missing something?
PCI slots and the possibility to use redundant power supplies. But you do have a point.
you've made this grammatical error a few times: "...five reasons not too"...should be ...."to" not ...."too".
This might be my favourite comment ever put on this channel. Not because I disagree with you (I don't), but because this is EXACTLY the pedantic point I raised with a colleague when forming this series. In a round about way I feel validated... Cheers!
cheers "to" you "too"!
