QNAP TL-R1620Sdc 16 Bay 3U rackmount Dual-Controller SAS 12Gb/s JBOD Expansion Enclosure

Featuring dual controllers, an OLED indicator, and a short-depth rackmount design, the 3U 16-bay TL-R1620Sdc SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is ideal for expanding the storage capacity of dual-controller QNAP NAS. Both controllers have three Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports, supporting 12Gbps SAS and Broadcom SAS DataBolt bandwidth optimization technology. The dual path mini-SAS design sustains continuous operations even if an external JBOD cable is disconnected. Up to 7 TL-R1620Sdc units can be daisy-chained via high-speed Mini-SAS HD cables, providing scalability and high reliability for mission-critical storage of file servers, virtualization, surveillance, medium-sized data center, multimedia, and more.

Flexibly and economically expand the storage space of a dual-controller QNAP NAS for petabyte-level storage capacity.

Dual path mini-SAS design with a redundant power supply for enhanced system reliability.

QNAP dual-controller NAS can detect JBOD connections, and enter missing mode protection to prevent data corruption.

DataBolt bandwidth optimization combines two 6Gb/s connections into one 12Gb/s data stream to achieve faster speed with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

Manage the storage space and settings of the connected TL-R1620Sdc with Storage Manager on the host NAS.

The space-efficient short depth design makes it easy to install in small media cabinets or places with a lot of cabling. (Short rail kit RAIL-S01 requires optional purchase.)
