Flexible Expansion for NAS, PCs
Compatible with QTS 5.2.x/QuTS hero 5.2.8 (or later), Windows 11 (or later), Ubuntu 22.04 (or later), and other systems, TL-R1210TC4-RP provides flexible expansion of storage space up to 312 TB (maximum raw capacity: twelve bays * 26 TB), ensuring both data security and management convenience.
High-Speed 40Gbps Transfer
Utilizing USB 4 high-speed transfer, speeds can reach 40Gbps (actual speeds depend on the device and cables used). It also supports QNAP NAS, Windows systems compatible with Thunderbolt™ 4.
Note: A USB 4 Type-C cable is included, and we recommend using a USB cable no longer than 1 meter.
Supports SATA Hard Drives
Equipped with SATA 6Gb/s hard drive slots, ensuring reliable continuous read performance for smooth and fast operations.
Supports UASP
Supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), which significantly improves transfer speeds and reduces data delay and wait times.
High Stability with redundant power supply
Provides 250W stable power, with dual power modules ensuring uninterrupted service and system stability.
Host-based power management
When the main device powers on or off, JBOD automatically synchronizes, improving system stability and reducing operational risks.

USB 4 Type-C connectivity delivers even faster read performance!

More Space for Your NAS

With QNAP NAS's Storage & Snapshots Manager, you can easily set up independent RAID groups, create storage pools, monitor S.M.A.R.T. status, and configure notifications to keep track of your hard drive health.

1. Create an Independent Storage Pool

Using QNAP software RAID, you can create an independent storage pool in TL-R1210TC4-RP, supporting RAID migration and disk replacement. Enjoy the same management experience as your NAS’s main storage pool.

Note: TL-R1210TC4-RP can only be used as an independent storage pool or disk area. It cannot be merged with the NAS's main storage pool or disk area, and system applications can only be installed on the NAS itself.

2. Set as External Disk Mode

Alternatively, use it as an independent storage box (each hard drive is seen as an independent space), providing additional storage space for quick transfer or short-term backup needs, improving efficiency and data security.

Dual USB 4 Expansion Card for Greater Flexibility in NAS Expansion

Install the QXP-40G2UC expansion card on your NAS and instantly add two USB 4 Type-C ports with speeds up to 40Gbps, upgrading your storage performance across the board.

Build a Large-Capacity Dedicated Database

Whether it's large files, 4K videos, or work materials, you can easily store them, freeing up space on your local storage.

1. Software RAID Setup:

Use the built-in tools in your system (e.g., Windows® Storage Spaces) to combine multiple hard drives into a software RAID, improving data security or read/write performance as needed.

Note: Due to platform incompatibilities, once configured in software RAID mode, the storage cannot be used across different platforms.
2. Single Disk Mode:

Each hard drive can be read and written independently, like a large multi-bay hard drive system. When one disk is full, you can remove it and replace it with a new one. You can also reinsert a disk with existing data to access its contents, ideal for large data batch storage and archiving.

Monitor JBOD Status Anytime

Windows® PC users can monitor or set up the system and disk status of TL-R1210TC4-RP via QNAP JBOD Manager, including checking device health, fan speed. The system will record all events within the device, and when an abnormal condition occurs, real-time desktop notifications will be provided to keep you informed.

1. Windows users can easily manage TL-R1210TC4-RP with the latest JBOD Manager v1.3.
2. Linux users can easily manage TL-R1210TC4-RP with the latest JBOD Manager v1.1.

Too Time-Consuming for Remote Transfers? Just Ship the Entire Data!

When transferring large files or a single large dataset, network transfers can be time-consuming and bandwidth-heavy, often taking days to complete and impacting productivity. With TL-R1210TC4-RP, you can perform remote data migration by simply installing the hard drives, setting up a software RAID, and then shipping the entire unit to the target location. Once connected to a NAS or PC, it’s plug-and-play, enabling rapid large-file migration.

Note: If a software RAID is configured, TL-R1210TC4-RP data migration only supports use on another host with the same system.

Reliable Redundancy for Your Server Room

TL-R1210TC4-RP uses a metal enclosure, effective cooling, and a redundant power design. Even when operating at maximum load it maintains stable and reliable performance, ensuring enterprise-critical data is fully protected.

Extend hardware warranty up to 5 years

The TL-R1210TC4-RP is backed by a 3-year warranty at no additional cost.
You can also purchase a warranty extension that extends your warranty coverage up to 5 years.
