SFP+ port, three M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSD slots, and supports SSD caching and Qtier
auto-tiering technology. Dan Lin, Product Manager of QNAP explains a little
more.
The QNAP TS-332X NAS is equipped with an
AnnapurnaLabs, Alpine AL-324 quad-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A57 processor which can
be supported by 2, 4 or up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and offers a 10GbE SFP+ port.
Configuration options include :

The TS-332X supports up to three SATA 6Gb/s M.2
SSDs with 2280 form factors (sold separately), allowing users to create a
high-capacity SSD cache for boosting IOPS-demanding applications, or RAID 5
tiered storage with balanced performance and redundancy protection. Coupled
with QNAP’s Qtier technology that empowers the NAS with auto tiering, storage
efficiency is optimized constantly across M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and
