TVS-h474-PT-8G: specifications and dated store comparison →A four-bay QuTS hero appliance with a Pentium-class CPU for ZFS file protection and moderate office workloads.
Exact US MPN TVS-h474-PT-8G-US; official hardware table TVS-h474-PT-8G; 8 GB SODIMM DDR4; 4 x 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s, 3Gb/s.
Based on the current QNAP specification tables. We have not tested this NAS ourselves. The hardware-page software tables are QTS 5.2.9 / QuTS hero h5.2.9 (version-bound). TVS-h474 is listed in Applicable Models on the separate QuTS hero h6.0.2.3591 notes dated 2026-08-24; that listing is not the h5.2.9 feature table. See evidence and test gaps ↓
Is the TVS-h474-PT-8G right for you?
