Availability

TS-EC1679U-RP and TS-1679U-RP are shipping immediately. Learn more about the new models and other QNAP Turbo NAS lineup at www.qnap.com.

Here are two photos of the EC1679U unit showing front and rear views:

The EC model runs a Xeon processor while the other model runs on a Core i3.  Also, the EC model has more memory.  Both models can handle 4TB drives and can serve as ISCSI/virtualization targets and support 10GbE networking.  Pricing was not available, and a quick check around the internet did not yield any outlets selling these yet.

Here is an interesting video from QNAP about QNAP support for Xeon processors in TurboNAS:
