Connectivity includes a 2.5GbE port plus a 1GbE port and multiple USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports; the device supports RAID 0/1/JBOD, snapshot protection, Hybrid Backup Sync, NetBak Replicator, Time Machine, QuMagie AI photo management, QuFirewall/QVPN/Security Center, and optional QVR Elite surveillance support. Sequential SMB throughput (single 2.5GbE link) reaches roughly 291 MB/s read and 288 MB/s write (encryption similar). |
