QNAP TS-809U-RP Turbo NAS TS-809U-RP Manuale Utente

QNAP TS-809U-RP is the new generation 2U rackmount model of the 
worldwide award-winning Turbo NAS Series, providing superior performance 
for massive data sharing, powerful all-in-one business server features, 
advanced RAID data protection, built-in iSCSI target service, AES 256-bit 
volume-based encryption, and rock-solid hot-swappable hard drive design for 
business. 

Superior Performance and Advanced RAID Redundancy
The TS-809U-RP is featured with Intel

®

 2.8GHz CPU and 2GB DDRII 

memory. It supports RAID 0/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 5+Spare, JBOD, Online RAID Capacity 
Expansion, and Online RAID Level Migration.

Flexible iSCSI Solution with Thin Provisioning Technology
The TS-809U-RP can serve as a NAS and an iSCSI target server. The 
built-in iSCSI target feature provides an affordable IP-SAN (Storage Area 
Network) alternative for business. You can set up the NAS to expand the 
storage capacity for existing application servers, such as database server 

and mail server in an economic way. Moreover, the “Thin Provisioning” 
feature is provided which allows you to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI 
LUN (Logical Unit Number) at the beginning regardless of the physical 
volume capacity. 

Secure Data Protection by AES 256-bit Volume-based Encryption
The TS-809U-RP’s dominant “volume-based encryption” feature secures the 
server data by AES 256-bit encryption. Even if the hard drives were stolen, 
there is no need to fear the confidential data would be leaked since the data 
can only be accessed by an authorized password.

Versatile Applications for Business
The TS-809U-RP supports file sharing across Linux, UNIX, Mac, and 
Windows platforms. Versatile business are supported, e.g. file server, FTP 
server with encryption, printer server, PHP/MySQL supported web server,  
encrypted remote replication, Windows AD (Active Directory) SSH login and 
web page SSL login.

Failover allows the NAS to 

sustain the failure of one 

network port to provide 

continuous services.

Bandwidth aggregation is 

supported to boost the file 

transfer speed (works with 

managed Ethernet switch 

with 802.3ad configured).

The NAS can be deployed 

with two different IP settings 

for sharing among different 

workgroups in two different 

subnets.

The NAS offers advanced RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 5 + Spare, Single, and JBOD disk 

configurations. It also supports hot-swap design that a failed drive can be 

replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server. Besides, the best-in-class 

RAID on the NAS brings users a higher level of data security by allowing one 

more hard drive failure than other NAS of the same level.

For business, a high-performance and flexible storage expansion solution for the 

existing application servers is required. However, DAS (Direct Attached Storage) 

is not an efficient solution and a Fiber Channel SAN is too expensive and 

complicated to implement.

The TS-809U-RP can act as a NAS and iSCSI target server at the same time. It 

provides a cost-efficient iSCSI solution to set up an IP-SAN. You can make use of 

the built-in iSCSI target service to add up to 8 iSCSI devices. Different iSCSI 

Target LUNs (Logical Unit Number) can be defined as storage expansion or 

backup destination of the existing application servers, such as database servers 

and mail servers.

The “Virtual Space Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows 

you to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) at the 

beginning regardless of the physical volume capacity. When the physical storage 

capacity of the volume is going to be full, you can easily expand the storage 

capacity of the NAS by “Online RAID Capacity Expansion”.

The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing the

hard drives with larger ones. All the data will be kept and seamlessly moved to the

newly installed hard drives. There is no need to turn off the server during the

process.

You can upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID level with the data 

retained. There is no need to turn off the server during the process.

The encrypted file system feature enables you to build encrypted disk volumes on 

the NAS for the first time installation. The disk volume is securely protected by 

AES 256-bit encryption. An encryption key is required to unlock the encrypted 

volume to access the server data. This prevents data leakage if the server or the 

hard drives were stolen.

The hard disks can be configured to enter standby mode if there is no disk access 

within the specified period.

The flexible schedule power on/off feature is provided for you to manage the NAS 

server’s up time according to the working hours.

The NAS supports the majority of USB UPS devices which enables you to store 

the data in time and avoid critical data loss when power outage occurs during 

data transfer.

The TS-809U-RP is equipped with two redundant power supply units, each of 

which is capable of supplying the power for the NAS independently. If one of the 

units fails, the other one will take over to supply the power. You can replace the 

failed power supply unit without turning off the server.

The backup software, NetBak Replicator, is provided for the NAS users to perform 

real-time synchronization or schedule backup from multiple PCs to the NAS.

The data on the Turbo NAS can be backed up to or from another Turbo NAS or 

Rysnc server over the network.

The QPKG software package platform enables you to maximize the usage of the 

Turbo NAS by installing additional software packages developed from the users and 

community worldwide. This can be done by simple "download & install" clicking 

without going through any complicated process.

You can configure the SMTP server and SMSC server settings on the NAS in order to 

receive instant system warning or error messages by email or SMS.

The fan rotation speed is automatically adjusted according to the server's temperature. 

You can also define the system temperatures to trigger high speed or low speed rotation 

of the fan. By manually setting the fan rotation speed, the fan will rotate at the defined 

speed continuously.

The NAS supports Hard Disk Drive S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting 

Technology) for monitoring the HDD status. Moreover, the NAS is embedded with HHS  

which supports disk checking and bad blocks scanning.

Enable this option to power on the NAS remotely by Wake on LAN. Wake on LAN 

helps you manage your NAS conveniently.

With the built-in phpMyAdmin, Joomla!, editable php.ini, MySQL and SQLite, you 

can easily set up your web server and other online applications such as online 

shops, forums, and blogs.
