2. Product Overview
This chapter provides basic information about the QNAP device.
About the GM-1000
The GM-1000 is a ZFS NAS designed to provide efficient data backup and hybrid cloud solutions for
enterprises. The dual NAS comprises two replaceable nodes, where the GM-1001 has a 3.6 GHz for each
CPU base frequency and the GM-1002 has a 3.4 for each CPU base frequency. The enclosure also contains
sixteen 3.5-inch drive bays where a single node controls eight SATA drives on the front, two U.2 and SATA
drives on the back, and two NVMe M.2 SSDs on the system board. Each node is equipped with two 2.5
Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, making the GM-1000 ideal for bandwidth-
demanding applications.
