9-bay hybrid-storage rackmount NAS
QNAP TS-h987XU-RP-E2334-16G
A 9-bay hybrid-storage NAS supplied with 16GB ECC DDR4 memory, dual 10GBASE-T, dual 2.5GbE and PCIe Gen 4 expansion. The supplied source conflicts on both the processor model and chassis height and requires confirmation.
High-speed hybrid storage with two source details to verify
The QNAP TS-h987XU-RP-E2334-16G combines four 3.5-inch bays with five 2.5-inch U.2 PCIe or SATA bays, ECC memory and multi-gigabit networking. The supplied content positions it for file serving, virtualisation, VDI, backup and restore, with QuTS hero data-integrity features. Before publishing, confirm whether the processor is the Xeon E-2334 or E-2344 and whether the chassis is 1U or 2U.
Key features and benefits
HDD and SSD hybrid architecture
Four 3.5-inch SATA bays and five 2.5-inch U.2 PCIe or SATA bays support a mixed-capacity design.
ECC memory capacity
The table lists 16GB ECC DDR4 installed and a maximum of 128GB across four UDIMM slots.
Built-in high-speed networking
Two 10GBASE-T and two 2.5GbE ports are supplied for demanding file access and backup tasks.
PCIe Gen 4 expansion
One PCIe Gen 4 x8 slot is listed for compatible networking, QM2 or Fibre Channel cards.
QuTS hero data services
The supplied overview includes inline deduplication, snapshots, real-time SnapSync and QSAL.
Processor and chassis conflict
Two parts of the source disagree on the Xeon model and rack-unit height; both require confirmation.
Who is the QNAP TS-h987XU-RP-E2334-16G best for?
A strong choice for
- Business file servers and shared storage

Frequently asked questions about the QNAP TS-h987XU-RP-E2334-16G
What is the QNAP TS-h987XU-RP-E2334-16G?
It is a 9-bay hybrid-storage rackmount NAS supplied with ECC memory, dual 10GBASE-T and dual 2.5GbE connectivity.
Which processor does it use?
The source conflicts: the title and CPU table list Xeon E-2334, while the opening lists Xeon E-2344. Confirm the correct processor before publishing.
Is it a 1U or 2U NAS?
The source conflicts: the title says 2U and the specification table says 1U. The stated 43.3mm height aligns with the table value but the source must still be confirmed rather than inferred.
How much memory is installed?
The supplied table lists 16GB ECC DDR4 installed as one 16GB module, with a maximum of 128GB.
What networking is built in?
Two 10GBASE-T ports and two 2.5GbE ports are listed.
Are M.2 slots built in?
No built-in M.2 slot is listed; the source says M.2 is optional through a QM2 PCIe adapter.
What is the warranty period?
The source provides the value 5 without a unit, so the warranty duration cannot be confirmed.
