Overview
QXP-3X4PES
Use a PCIe Gen 3 x4 card to connect your NAS to TL PCIe Interface JBOD for storage expansion
The QXP-3X4PES PCIe card is designed for expanding the capacity of a QuTS hero or QTS NAS by connecting it to QNAP TL PCIe Interface JBOD. Multiple JBODs can be daisy-chained via high-speed cables to scale up to petabyte-level storage to handle exponential data growth caused by archiving/backing up surveillance recordings, RAW multimedia files, big data, and virtualization applications.
Petabyte-scale capacity with economy
Expand up to petabyte-scale capacity for QuTS hero NAS, by connecting multiple PCIe JBOD expansion enclosures. .
Up to 32 Gb/s
The QXP-3X4PES PCIe Gen 3 x4 expansion card provides up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speed.
Note: Actual transfer speeds depend on the host NAS's PCIe slot and the storage units used.
SFF-8644 special cables supported
Install a QXP-3X4PES for connecting the enclosures using SFF-8644 4X special cables.
