A Desk-Side NAS That Holds 60TB? TFNEW ZA-P3/ZA-P4
TL;DR: TFNEW launched the ZA-P3 and ZA-P4, enterprise NAS storage devices, on September 21, 2026. Built on an Intel G4560 with RAID5 drive groups of 20 TB-class SATA disks — 6 bays (ZA-P3) or 8 bays (ZA-P4) — they back up whole studios and branch offices from a desk, with 2x gigabit Ethernet, up to 64 GB memory and an HDMI console port.

Core Specifications (with Plain-Language Terms)
The ZA-P3 and ZA-P4 are the NAS tier of TF NEW's storage line: desktop towers that exist to keep the team's data safe with a RAID5 volume. RAID5 is the classic balance of capacity and protection — data and one parity block are striped across the drives, so the array survives any single drive failure while wasting only one disk on parity. ZA-P3 pairs an Intel G4560 processor on a W-N3 board with a 128G mSATA system drive and three 20TB SATA drives in RAID5 (6 bays total, 2x gigabit, 32 GB memory, 2–4 USB, 150 W power, HDMI; 195 × 250 × 260 mm). ZA-P4 upgrades to a 256G system drive, six 20TB drives in RAID5, 8 bays, 64 GB memory and a larger 221 × 305 × 310 mm chassis — in the neighborhood of 100 TB of raw backup capacity before parity. Both are quiet, desk-side, and speak plain gigabit Ethernet to the network.

Why 20TB-Class RAID5 Changes the Backup Conversation
Backup used to be about rotating disks and hoping; 20 TB-class drives make it a fixture. Two of them in RAID5 with parity is safe, and a six-drive ZA-P4 group is roughly 100 TB raw — a department's camera cards, CAD files and project history in one desk-side box that keeps working through a single drive failure. The G4560-class platform keeps it quiet and cheap, mSATA keeps the OS off the data disks, and 2x gigabit keeps three or four backup clients happy without the noise, heat and depth of a rack NAS.
Where It Fits
- Studio and media backup: 20TB RAID5 vaults for footage and edits
- Branch-office file storage: desk-side shared storage with drive-failure tolerance
- SMB/VPS-adjacent archives: terabytes of protected capacity at 150 W
- Offsite-readiness staging: a second box that mirrors before rotation
Why the Numbers Matter
- RAID5 on 20TB drives: capacity with any-single-drive-failure survival
- 6 or 8 drive bays: 40–100 TB raw scale per box
- mSATA system drive: OS and boot off the data spindles
- 2x gigabit Ethernet: clients connect without adapter friction
- 32–64 GB memory: file-cache headroom for many simultaneous readers
What TF NEW Says
"Backup hardware should disappear into the workflow — fill it, forget it, survive the failure," said a TF NEW product manager. "The ZA-P3 and ZA-P4 put RAID5 on 20TB drives with the OS on mSATA, six or eight bays, gigabit ports and 150 W of power. A studio's whole history, desk-side, drive-failure proof."
Quality and Availability
Every ZA-P3 and ZA-P4 is burn-in tested with its RAID5 group — array build, rebuild and 48-hour stability runs validated before shipping. They ship with RAID management documentation and migration guidance.
