Note: The connected drive may not reach its optimal performance due to protocol translation and some overhead.

High-quality construction for better heat dissipation

The M.2 SSD thermal pads and aluminum-alloy metal frame assist in dissipating heat from the M.2 SSD to ensure high performance.

Install in a PC/workstation for higher performance with lower costs

Use the QDA-U2MP to install two M.2 SSDs in the 2.5-inch U.2 SSD tray of a high-end PC/workstation (Windows® or Linux®), and easily deal with tasks that require intensive data transmission (such as on-the-fly video editing, server-grade applications, or online gaming). Users can use utilities from their SSD manufacturer or third-party providers (for example: CrystalDiskInfo) to view the health status of installed SSDs.

Note: Consult your PC system provider if the PC operating system supports U.2 NVMe SSD.

Install in QNAP NAS for efficient yet cost-effective storage

Install one or more QDA-U2MP in a NAS to maximize PCIe bandwidth utilization in a cost-effective way by using M.2 SSDs instead of expensive U.2 SSD for optimizing data-intensive applications. It can also boost IOPS performance when configuring SSD caching. Users can monitor drive health and manage SSD usage from the QTS Storage & Snapshots Manager.

Note: Supports QNAP NAS models that include the QDA-U2MP as optional accessory and feature the QTS 4.4.2 (or later) or QuTS hero h4.5.2 (or later): TS-h2490FU, TS-h1090FU, TS-h973AX
