TL-R1620Sdc
Dual-controller SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion for enterprises

tl-r1620sdc

Featuring dual controllers, an OLED indicator, and a short-depth rackmount design, the 3U 16-bay TL-R1620Sdc SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is ideal for expanding the storage capacity of Windows® servers. Both controllers have three Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports, supporting 12Gbps SAS and Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology. The dual path mini-SAS design sustains continuous operations even if an external JBOD cable is disconnected. Up to 7 TL-R1620Sdc units can be daisy-chained via high-speed Mini-SAS HD cables, providing scalability and high reliability for mission-critical storage of file servers, virtualization, surveillance, medium-sized data center, multimedia, and more.

  • Storage expansion for dual-controller NAS

    Flexibly and economically expand the storage space of a Windows® server for petabyte-level storage capacity.

  • Dual path design

    Dual path mini-SAS design with a redundant power supply for enhanced system reliability.

  • DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization

    DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization combines two 6Gb/s connections into one 12Gb/s data stream to achieve faster speed with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

  • Windows® S2D failover cluster

    Windows® servers can individually connect to a TL-R1620Sdc and be configured into a S2D (Storage Space Direct) failover cluster.

  • Flexible storage management

    Windows® users can manage the storage space and settings of the TL-R1620Sdc with the QNAP JBOD Manager app.

  • Short depth design

    The space-efficient short depth design makes it easy to install in small media cabinets or places with a lot of cabling. (Short rail kit RAIL-S01 requires optional purchase.)

Failure-resistant with a dual-controller, dual-path design

Connect the TL-R1620Sdc to a dual-controller Windows® server and create a redundant cross loop configuration that provides expansion units with redundant paths to the host server and protection between JBOD connections. If one or more paths to the TL-R1620Sdc disconnect, other expansion units can still communicate with the host server. This is essential for intermachine data protection and capacity scalability for uninterrupted mission-critical enterprise tasks.

Connect up to 7 expansion units for petabyte-level storage capacity

The host Windows® server requires a compatible Broadcom® SAS HBA PCIe expansion card.

Note: The maximum total storage capacity will vary based the limitations of the Windows® server.

Highly efficient, reliable and scalable

The TL-R1620Sdc is powered by a low-power 28nm SAS35x28R SAS Expander and supports 12/6 Gb/s SAS/SATA drives. Both controllers have three Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports, and each SAS wide port combines four SAS 12Gb/s channels for up to 48Gbps bandwidth.

Windows S2D (Storage Space Direct) failover cluster

Dual controllers: JBOD HA protection

Multi-path protection: Yes
Performance: 48Gbps
(Two mini-SAS cables (SFF-8644 to SFF-8644) are included in the package. It requires option purchase of cables based on different ways of JBOD connection.)

Supports SAS DataBolt™ technology, delivers 12Gb/s speed using existing 6Gb/s infrastructure

Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1620Sdc has an intelligent data buffer for transferring data to drives at speeds that match the performance of the host server. Whether the TL-R1620Sdc uses 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s drives, the host server will transfer data to the TL-R1620Sdc at 12Gb/s, allowing you benefit from high-speed 12Gb/s SAS transmission with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

Exclusive drive monitoring tool for Windows® servers

The QNAP JBOD Manager features a user-friendly interface, allowing you to intuitively manage the TL-R1620Sdc. In addition to operating status information, you can also see the topology of the connected device, configure SAS zoning settings, and manage the firmware of all connected TL-R1620Sdc.

Note:
1. The QNAP JBOD Manager app for SAS JBOD supports Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016 and 2019. The SAS HBA installed on the Windows Server must also support the same Windows Server version to ensure QNAP JBOD Manager can recognize the server.
2. Windows servers with Broadcom® SAS RAID cards installed will not be shown in the QNAP JBOD Manager’s Connection Topology due to the expansion card’s limitations.


  • Device Status

    Instantly view system information of the TL-R1620Sdc, including health, temperature, fan speed, dual controllers’ connection status, multipath routing status (Multipath I/O, MPIO), and Zoning types.


  • Zone Setting

    SAS zoning settings can divide the JBOD into two zones, allowing for host servers to access specific zones.


  • Connection Topology

    After setting up the TL-R1620Sdc, a visible connection topology will be automatically generated. This allows you to quickly view the connection status of all connected devices.


  • Firmware Information

    Lists the firmware versions of all connected devices, allowing you to track and update out-of-date devices.

Supports command-line interface

You can connect your computer to the TL-R1620Sdc via the Console Port and use your command line interface (CLI) to configure the TL-R1620Sdc.

Note: A password is required to use the CLI. The default password is 00000000 (eight zeros).

OLED display for system status




Short-depth design and redundant power supply. Can be installed in standard server racks or small AV cabinets
