TL-R1200C-RP(USB)
Rackmount USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C high-capacity JBOD storage enclosure with redundant power

tl-r1200c-rp

The rackmount TL-R1200C-RP JBOD storage enclosure allows you to back up and expand your QNAP NAS, computers (supports Windows), and servers. The TL-R1200C-RP features twelve 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s drive bays with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-C connectivity to provide a fast and smooth expansion solution.

Notes:
1. TL-R1200C-RP only supports devices with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or above) port.
2. QNAP recommends following the standard procedure to connect or disconnect the TL-R1200C-RP. For more information, please see the TL-R1200C-RP user manual.
3. The TL-R1200C-RP can only be used as an individual storage pool or volume on the NAS. Its storage pool/volume cannot be combined into the connected NAS. NAS applications cannot be installed on the TL-R1200C-RP.
4. The TL-R1200C-RP only supports QNAP NAS running on QTS 4.4.2 (or above) or QuTS hero operating system.
5. The TL-R1200C-RP doesn’t support ASM1142 USB controller IC based USB ports and PCIe expansion cards (e.g. QNAP USB-U31A2P01 expansion card)
6. Users can purchase the optional RAIL-B02 rail kit to deploy the TL-R1200C-RP in a 19-inch rack following the ANSI/EIA-RS-310-D standard.
7. Non-Server versions of Windows have a 63TB limit for a single volume. Thus, when connecting QNAP storage expansion products, the same limitation applies. For volumes larger than 63TB, it is recommended to use the Windows Server operating system.

  • USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps)

    USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connectivity* provides up to 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds. The port can support USB Type-A to Type-C connection or Thunderbolt 3 Type-C connection using different cables.

    The package includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C to Type-A cable. Maximum 1M USB cable is recommended.

  • Cost-effective expansion solution

    Provides high capacity and affordability, making it an excellent backup solution for QNAP NAS.

  • Redundant power supply

    250W redundant power supply to ensure maximum system uptime.

Flexible storage configuration and management

The TL-R1200C-RP provides software-controlled configurations for greater management flexibility.

  • Use the QTS / QuTS hero Storage & Snapshots Manager to configure the TL-R1200C-RP as a storage enclosure for your QNAP NAS. The NAS expansion storage mode supports various NAS functions, including storage pools and snapshots. With TL-R1200C-RP, you can easily expand storage capacity.

JBOD migration speeds up remote file transfers

Migrating a large number of small files or a single large data file by network environment can be time-consuming and consume significant network bandwidth that causes decreased work efficiency. The TL-R1200C-RP supports remote file transfer. All you have to do is set up the RAID configuration and store a large number of files. Then you can move the TL-R1200C-RP to another place and connect it with the computer or NAS to experience the device’s simple plug and play feature and fast data migration.

Note: If you have set up the software RAID configuration, the TL-R1200C-RP migration only supports hosts running on the same operating system.

Use TL-R1200C-RP as a high-capacity disk drive reader by setting up single disk mode

You can treat each disk in your TL-R1200C-RP as an individual storage space, and also use it as a removable drive. It can function like a high-capacity disk drive reader. When one of disk reaches data storage limitation, you can remove it and put it into a dry box. Then swap a different disk into the TL-R1200C-RP empty drive slot. After that, you can install the disk that reached full data capacity into the TL-R1200C-RP and connect it with a computer or NAS for direct file access.

Note: The operating system of the destination host should support the drive file system for file access. For example, NTFS (for Windows), EXT4 (for Ubuntu or QNAP NAS), exFAT (for Windows, Ubuntu, and QNAP NAS) etc.

Versatile usage scenarios to meet storage expansion needs

The TL-R1200C-RP meets many storage expansion requirements for the home and office. Below is a list of potential usage scenarios:

Scenario 1: Expand your NAS capacity

The TL-R1200C-RP provides an alternative method for users to expand their NAS storage capacity. By connecting the TL-R1200C-RP to their NAS and using the Storage & Snapshots Manager in QTS or QuTS hero, users can easily configure and manage their storage expansion. The TL-R1200C-RP supports a variety of QNAP NAS storage and file management functions, allowing users to build storage pools, finding files with Qsirch, and organizing files with Qfiling.

Note:
1. The TL-R1200C-RP does not support QNAP NAS models that cannot be updated to QTS 4.4.2 (or later) and the following NAS models: TS-128, TS-228, TS-131, TS-231, TS-431, TS-431U.
2. Drives can only be migrated from one TL USB JBOD to another TL USB JBOD. Files and data stored on drives migrated to or from other JBOD devices will not be recognized.

Scenario 2: External storage for your NAS

You can use the TL-R1200C-RP to expand your NAS storage. You can select disks to create storage pools for expanding your NAS capacity, or you can treat each disk as an individual external storage space and use it as a removable drive for greater flexibility. Regardless of the mode you use, you can always use Storage & Snapshots Manager in QTS or QuTS hero to set up and manage your TL-R1200C-RP and use hard drive S.M.A.R.T. and Notification Center to check disk status anytime and anywhere.

  • Mode 1: Expand NAS capacity with storage pool mode

    You can use Storage & Snapshots Manager in QTS or QuTS hero to configure the RAID storage pool for your TL-R1200C-RP and expand NAS capacity.

    Note: The TL-R1200C-RP can only be used as an individual storage pool or volume on the NAS. Its storage pool/volume cannot be combined into the connected NAS. NAS applications cannot be installed on the TL-R1200C-RP.

  • Mode 2: Expand your NAS with external storage mode

    You can treat each disk on your TL-R1200C-RP as an individual storage space and expand your NAS capacity. For example, it will show 8 independent external disks on an 8-bay NAS.

    Note: The TL-R1200C-RP supports multiple disk formats, including NTFS (for Windows), EXT4 (for Ubuntu or QNAP NAS), exFAT (for Windows, Ubuntu, and QNAP NAS) etc.

High-speed USB transfer

TThe TL-R1200C-RP features high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connectivity and built-in USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) to provide convenient fast file sharing and intensive data transfer. The TL-R1200C-RP not only provides you higher file transfer performance than traditional USB interfaces but offers a more cost-effective option than REXP SAS JBOD.

Note: To achieve UASP, please make sure that your computers and hosts support it.
