QNAP TL-R1620Sdc θήκη HDD/SSD μαύρο 2,5/3,5 ίντσες

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.

Failure-resistant with a dual-controller, dual-path design
Connect the TL-R1620Sdc to a dual-controller QNAP NAS and create a redundant cross loop configuration that provides expansion units with redundant paths to the base NAS and protection between JBOD connections. If one or more paths to the TL-R1620Sdc disconnect, other expansion units can still communicate with the base NAS. This is essential for intermachine data protection and capacity scalability for uninterrupted mission-critical enterprise tasks.

Connect up to 7 expansion units for petabyte-level storage capacity
The base NAS requires QES 2.1.1 (or later) and either Mini-SAS HD (SAS 12Gb/s SFF-8644), Mini-SAS (SAS 6Gb/s SFF-8088) ports or a PCIe-based SAS expansion card.

Highly efficient, reliable and scalable
The TL-R1620Sdc is powered by a low-power 28nm SAS35x28R SAS Expander and supports 12/6 Gb/s SAS/SATA drives. Both controllers have three Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports, and each SAS wide port combines four SAS 12Gb/s channels for up to 48Gbps bandwidth.

Supports SAS DataBolt technology, delivers 12Gb/s speed using existing 6Gb/s infrastructure
Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1620Sdc has an intelligent data buffer for transferring data to drives at speeds that match the performance of the host NAS. Whether the TL-R1620Sdc uses 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s drives, the NAS host will transfer data to the TL-R1620Sdc at 12Gb/s, allowing you benefit from high-speed 12Gb/s SAS transmission with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

Storage Management
Simply connect a TL-R1620Sdc to a dual-controller QNAP NAS and power it on. The NAS will detect the drives in the TL-R1620Sdc as newly-installed local drives. By using the Storage Manager app on the host NAS, you can configure and manage the TL-R1620Sdc’s storage space by setting RAID groups, storage pools and snapshots. The TL-R1620Sdc can also be configured as the storage volume of the host NAS, allowing you to easily expand NAS storage to accommodate massive data or backup files.

Leverage the 6Gbps SAS to SATA drive adapter to install 2.5-inch SATA SSDs
While SATA 6Gb/s SSDs provide high-performance yet affordable storage, the lack of dual-port support makes them unsuitable for dual-controller environments. The QDA-SA2 adapter allows the use of a SATA 6Gb/s drive in a 3.5-inch SAS drive bay - providing the ability to expand storage capacity by using cost-effective SATA drives. By installing a SATA drive with the QDA-SA2 into the dual-controller TL-R1620Sdc, the SATA drive can share these SAS dual-port advantages to ensure a high-availability, fault-tolerant enterprise storage environment.

QNAP TL-R1620Sdc. Product type: HDD/SSD enclosure. Number of storage drives supported: 16, Storage drive size: 2.5/3.5", Supported storage drive interfaces: SAS-2, SAS-3. Data transfer rate: 12 Gbit/s. RAID levels: JBOD, Hot-swap. Rack mounting, Rack capacity: 3U, Product colour: Black

How to use

Connect the TL-R1620Sdc to a dual-controller QNAP NAS using Mini-SAS HD cables or via a compatible PCIe SAS expansion card on the NAS host, then power on the enclosure. The host NAS running QES 2.1.1 or later will detect the enclosure drives as local drives. Use the Storage Manager application on the host NAS to create RAID groups, storage pools or volumes, and to configure snapshots and other storage policies. For larger capacity, daisy-chain additional TL-R1620Sdc units with high-speed Mini-SAS HD cables.

Recommendations

For dual-controller high-availability setups, use dual-path cabling to create a redundant cross loop configuration. If you plan to use SATA 6Gb/s SSDs, install them with the QDA-SA2 SAS-to-SATA adapter so that single-port SATA drives can operate in a dual-controller, dual-path environment. Ensure the host NAS firmware is updated to QES 2.1.1 or later and follow QNAP guidelines for RAID configuration and hot-swap procedures to maintain data integrity.
