QNAP TVS-h874T-i9-64G network attached storage system

Is the TVS-h874T-i9-64G right for you?

High-end Thunderbolt production storage

Official i9 16-core and factory 64 GB, already the 2×32 GB maximum.[1]

Good fit

CPU-heavy QuTS hero services

No i9 lab run; i7 T-series 10GbE/TB4 results are platform context only.[1]

Good with planning

Your workflow cannot use the added CPU and RAM

Highest chassis price in this batch; extra cores do not add Ethernet or bays versus the i7 T.[1]

Hardware, storage and network planning

01

The exact factory configuration matters

This page covers TVS-h874T-i9-64G-US, mapped to official table TVS-h874T-i9-64G. CPU: Intel® Core™ i9 16-core (8P+8E) /24-thread Processor. Factory memory: 64 GB SODIMM DDR4. Drive bays: 8 x 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s, 3Gb/s. US store SKU TVS-h874T-i9-64G-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-h874T 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][6]

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 i7 Thunderbolt 4 tests

IT Pro, Club386 and ITdaily used i7/32GB T units. Official i7 and i9 T columns share the 104.35 W typical WD10EFRX power figure. That does not make i9 throughput measured.[3][4][5][1]

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. The reviewed Thunderbolt packages did not include a 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]

Questions before buying

Which TVS-h874T-i9-64G-US configuration does this page cover?

Exact US MPN TVS-h874T-i9-64G-US. Official hardware-table heading used: TVS-h874T-i9-64G.[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?

Same TB4 + 2.5GbE official ports as the i7 T. No i9 throughput.[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-h874T 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][6]
