Characteristics:

Higher Performance of Quad-Core CPU Units: The TS-431K is equipped with a 1.7 GHz quad-core CPU, which includes more CPU cores to improve system performance. With 1 GB of RAM, two Gigabit LAN ports and 6 Gb/s SATA drives, the TS-431K offers high performance while maintaining data security. The TS-431K also includes three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, allowing you to transfer large media files between the NAS and your devices. The front panel USB port supports one-touch copy, making it very convenient to backup data from your external device to a NAS or vice versa with a single click.
 
Easily create a high-speed network environment: You can use QNAP USB 3.2 Gen 1 on 5GbE adapters (QNA-UC5G1T) with the TS-431K or your computer. By connecting the NAS and PC through the 5GbE adapters, a 5GbE network connection can be created to achieve a transfer speed of nearly 300MB/s.
 
Improve productivity with QNAP apps: QNAP File Station offers centralized file management, allowing you to view and manage files on your TS-431K and other external storage sources or devices, allowing you to easily share files with family and friends. via email, social media or a shared link. You can also use the Qfile mobile app to access NAS files from a mobile device.
 
File Station: File Station allows you to manage files stored on your QNAP NAS in your cloud space, or on a USB card reader and mobile devices. You can easily access all your data from a single app.
 
Qfile: The Qfile mobile app allows you to access NAS files from a mobile device anytime, anywhere, while uploading and backing up files on your phone to a NAS.
 
Protect your sensitive data by encrypting files: When sharing sensitive or confidential files on your TS-431K, you can improve data security with File Station by encrypting the files in a .qenc file and setting a password. Recipients of the file must download and install QENC Decrypter on their computers and enter the correct password to decrypt, view and use the encrypted .qenc files.

Protect data from malware with Snapshots: Snapshots help protect your data by recording all metadata and system status of the NAS. If you accidentally delete or modify a file, you can use snapshots in Storage and Snapshot Manager or File Station to quickly restore files to a previous recorded state. QNAP snapshots are block-based and only record modified data. This not only saves storage space, but also reduces the time needed to backup or restore data. The TS-431K supports up to 16 snapshots per volume or LUN, and a maximum of 32 snapshots in total.
 
Backup, access and sync files from multiple points: HBS (Hybrid Backup Sync) consolidates data backup, recovery and synchronization tasks, allowing you to backup or sync data with another NAS from QNAP, and a remote server or cloud storage (e.g. Dropbox or Google Drive) to create a reliable disaster recovery solution. Qsync turns the TS-431K into a secure, high-capacity data center for file synchronization. Any file uploaded to the TS-431K will be available from all linked devices, whether desktop, laptop or mobile devices. You can also sync shared folders or create team folders to improve collaboration between members of a team.
 
Backup files from Windows/Mac computer: QNAP NAS offers a simple solution to backup/restore laptops and desktops. You can use QNAP NetBak Replicator to backup files on Windows computers, including Outlook email file. The NAS also supports Time Machine on Mac devices, making backup simple, fast and convenient.
 
Greater multimedia fun: The TS-431K includes a wide range of multimedia applications, including Photo Station, Video Station and Music Station, allowing you to easily manage and view your multimedia files. You can also download Plex Media Server to turn your TS-431K into a media server.
 
Complete surveillance solution to ensure uninterrupted security: Surveillance Station includes an easy-to-use interface, supports more than 3,000 compatible IP cameras and offers expandable IP camera channel licenses, allowing you to create a complete surveillance system for monitoring in real-time video and audio recording and playback. You can use the Vmobile application on your mobile devices to manage monitored channels anytime, anywhere. You can use the QUSBCam2 app to add USB cameras to Surveillance Station to view real-time images, store recordings for playback, allowing you to create a surveillance system on a minimal budget.
 
Flexible and cost-effective storage expansion: QNAP offers easy storage capacity expansion solutions. There are several ways to expand the storage of your TS-431K as needed to handle business and data growth.
