Expand your total disk capacity up to 4.6PB

A NAS with a QXP-1620S-B3616W expansion card can be daisy-chained with up to 16 units of TL SAS JBOD enclosures.

Note: QNAP calculates the effective capacity assuming RAID 60 with 24TB hard drives, PB-to-PiB conversion, and using storage utilization processes such as pool over-provisioning.

Attain faster backup and uninterrupted services with flexible port configuration

SAS expansion cards can be flexibly configured to fit various usage applications. By managing multipath or link aggregation with NAS to expansion units, data transfer loads are effectively balanced, and you can avoid interrupting system services and prevent backup failures.

Minimum requirements: QTS 4.5.1 or QuTS hero h4.5.1. QES will be available from Q1 2021. Always consult the compatibility list before purchasing add-ons and accessories for your NAS.
