TVS-h674-i5-32G: specifications and dated store comparison →

Same six-bay hx74 chassis as the i3, with i5-12400 and 32 GB, still dual 2.5GbE unless you add a NIC.

Exact US MPN TVS-h674-i5-32G-US; official hardware table TVS-h674-i5-32G; 32 GB SODIMM DDR4; 6 x 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s, 3Gb/s.

Based on the official TVS-h674 hardware/software tables (OS rows labelled QTS 5.2.9 / QuTS hero h5.2.9), a separately sourced QuTS hero h6.0.2.3591 (2026-08-24) applicable-models list, and 0 applicable original review record(s). We have not tested this NAS. Related other-SKU tests stay labelled related. See evidence and test gaps ↓

QNAP TVS-h674-i5-32G network attached storage system

Is the TVS-h674-i5-32G right for you?

Six-bay ZFS storage with several services

Official i5-12400 and 32 GB on the six-bay hx74, enough RAM for QuTS hero inline dedupe.[1]

Good fit

Creative or office workflows after network planning

Still only two 2.5GbE ports; 10GbE remains a PCIe card. No i5-674 lab throughput this round.[1]

Good with planning

You need Thunderbolt direct attachment

Not a Thunderbolt unit and not an 8-bay; pick the T SKU or h874 if those are required.[1]

Hardware, storage and network planning

01

The exact factory configuration matters

This page covers TVS-h674-i5-32G-US, mapped to official table TVS-h674-i5-32G. CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-12400 6-core/12-thread Processor, burst up to 4.4 GHz. Factory memory: 32 GB SODIMM DDR4. Drive bays: 6 x 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s, 3Gb/s. US store SKU TVS-h674-i5-32G-US matched the opened manufacturer PDP.[1][2]

02

Spec-table OS rows are not the newest firmware claim

The hardware spec page still publishes QTS 5.2.9 and QuTS hero h5.2.9 feature tables; those rows stay version-bound. QuTS hero h6.0.2.3591 (build 20260819, notes dated 2026-08-24) lists TVS-h474/TVS-h674/TVS-h874/TVS-h874X/TVS-h674T/TVS-h874T as applicable. TVS-h674 is in that family string. Exact -i3/-i5/-i7/-i9/-R5 RAM SKUs are not itemized. This page does not claim every 5.2.9 table feature is unchanged on h6.0.2.[1][8]

03

Plan storage and networking together

Advertised port speed is not one-file throughput. Drive count, RAID, protocol, client NICs and the switch each cap the result. Independent 9 Gbit/s-class numbers in this family used add-in 10GbE, not the stock 2.5GbE pair.[1]

04

Read measured results with their setup

No applicable original experiment was adopted for this exact factory SKU. Related hx74 tests (other CPU, bay count or Thunderbolt vs Ethernet) stay in the guide as related evidence, not as this SKU's measured speed.[1]

05

Related i3 and 8-bay i5 tests

Tom's Hardware Italia and Profesional Review tested the i3/16GB six-bay. IT Pro and Club386 tested i5-12400/32GB eight-bay units on 10GbE. Those results explain the CPU/RAM class, not six-bay i5 RAID speed.[5][4][6][7]

What still needs a real-world test

We have verified the specifications, but have not found an original test that we can reliably apply to this exact model. The advice above follows the documented features; performance, noise and long-term reliability are not independently established here.

Before you buy

US listings and ownership costs

Budget the complete storage system

Budget for drives, a UPS and a separate backup target. Faster Ethernet requires compatible network hardware; Thunderbolt models also need a suitable host and cable.[1]

Treat listings as dated evidence

Prices and stock are dated observations. QNAP Store listings retain an earlier identity check with price and availability unconfirmed; check the linked retailer for the exact configuration, current total and delivery terms.[2][3]

Questions before buying

Which TVS-h674-i5-32G-US configuration does this page cover?

Exact US MPN TVS-h674-i5-32G-US. Official hardware-table heading used: TVS-h674-i5-32G.[1][2]

Are drives included?

These offers cover the enclosure. Confirm the exact drive and accessory contents on the retailer page, especially if it lists a bundle.[2]

What network or Thunderbolt plan should I make?

Official: two 2.5GbE, 10GbE optional via PCIe. No i5-674 throughput this round.[1]

Has ChooseCompute tested this NAS?

No. This guide synthesizes QNAP tables and 0 applicable original review record(s). Related SKUs are labelled related.[1]

Is the listed price current?

Treat the displayed price and availability as dated observations. QNAP Store price and stock remain unconfirmed; open the retailer listing to confirm the exact model and current total.[2]

Is QTS 5.2.9 / QuTS hero h5.2.9 the latest firmware?

No. Those strings are the OS rows on the current hardware spec tables. A later published branch, QuTS hero h6.0.2.3591 build 20260819 (2026-08-24), lists TVS-h474/TVS-h674/TVS-h874/TVS-h874X/TVS-h674T/TVS-h874T. TVS-h674 appears there. That is applicability of that release note, not a recrawl of every feature cell, and not a promise every optional NIC still works (LAN-10G1SR cards are called out as h5-only).[1][8]
