Qnap QXP-1620S and QXP-820S 12Gb SAS Storage Expansion Cards For NAS

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the QXP-1620S and QXP-820S SAS storage expansion card.

By installing the cards into a company’s NAS, users can connect it to TL SAS JBOD storage enclosures and REXP expansion units to expand their total storage capacity.

Multiple expansion units can be daisy-chained via fast mini SAS HD cables to expand the total storage capacity up to 4.6PB.

“SAS-based storage solutions provide low-latency, power-efficiency, and IO/s-optimized storage capabilities and are ideal for creating highly-reliable IT environments for virtualization, surveillance, big data, video editing, and TV broadcast storage. By installing a QXP-1620S or QXP-820S in your NAS, you can upgrade your IT environment to take advantage of the high-performance, HA and high-reliability of SAS.” said Stanley Huang, product manager.

The QXP-1620S and QXP-820S can be configured to fit various usage applications. By managing multi-path or link aggregation between a NAS and expansion units, data transfer loads are effectively balanced, and users can avoid interrupting system services and prevent backup failures.

These cards and supported cables can be purchased from the company’s ‘Accessories Store’ and authorized resellers.

Minimum requirements:
Consult the compatibility list before purchasing add-ons and accessories for your NAS.
