QNAP® Systems, Inc. today unveiled new TVS-882BR RDX models (including the TVS-882BR-RDX and TVS-882BRT3-RDX) that integrates the Tandberg RDX® QuikStor™ internal SATA 5.25-inch docking station (8813-RDX) for installing removable and portable RDX hard disk cartridges. Compared to standard external hard drives, the Tandberg RDX cartridge features a rugged dust-proof design that protects data for a longer period of time and allows users to easily transfer data with the cartridges.

“QNAP constantly integrates partner backup solutions to our existing NAS solutions. By supporting RDX hard disk backup, the new TVS-882BR RDX models allows users to enjoy longer data protection and the portable cartridges can easily be shared for data exchanging. Coupled with Media Asset Management (MAM) software and a wide range of backup solutions, the TVS-882BR helps improve work efficiency while also providing highly-scalable storage space and powerful hardware that meets the requirements from modern businesses and organizations” said Dan Lin, Product Manager of QNAP.

Users can access and manage files on RDX cartridges using File Station and activate automatic file organization using Qfiling. Hybrid Backup Sync provides a complete backup/recovery solution, allowing users to back up or sync files to another NAS or to cloud storage. QNAP's proprietary search engine Qsirch also allows users to quickly find needed files using various search methods.

Users can enjoy improved system performance with Qtier™ auto-tiering technology and SSD caching with two M.2 SATA 6Gb/s slots. Equipped with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, the TVS-882BRT3 provides 40 Gbps bandwidth and Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet (T2E) 10GbE connectivity, providing media professionals with an ideal collaborative platform for media production.
