10GbE data transfer that media professionals need

As video resolutions move from 1080p, to 4K, 8K (and beyond) media creators are struggling with the storage and network requirements needed for editing huge multimedia files. The QNA series comes with two models. The QNA-T310G1T features a Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE Multi-Gigabit (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) port, and the QNA-T310G1S features one 10GbE SFP+ port, allowing you to easily add 10GbE connectivity to any Thunderbolt 3 device. Coupled with a QNAP 10GbE switch, a budget-friendly 10GbE environment can be created for creative studios to benefit from the incredible speed and bandwidth that 10GbE provides.

	Stylish The QNA series features a metallic bright-toned cover that fits perfectly alongside other devices.
	Portable The QNA series requires no extra power supply, and you can easily carry it around for universal deployment.
