12-bay 2U rackmount SAS 12Gbps JBOD expansion enclosure with SAS expander

For NAS:The TL-R1220Sep-RP SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space of your QTS or QuTS hero NAS. Up to sixteen expansion enclosures can be daisy-chained via high-speed mini SAS HD cables to support up to 3.4PB raw capacity, ideal for archiving/backing up virtualization applications, surveillance recordings, large data, or multimedia. Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP consolidates 6Gb/s infrastructure into 12Gb/s. With four mini SAS HD SFF-8644 Wide Ports, the TL-R1220Sep-RP delivers up to 192Gbps transfer speed when connected to a single host. When connected to a QTS/QuTS hero NAS that supports multipath routing, the TL-R1220Sep-RP can achieve smoother data transmission and continuous system operation.**Note:1. The QNAP NAS requires QTS 4.5.1 / QuTS hero h4.5.1 (or later) with SAS ports or with a QXP PCIe SAS storage expansion card installed. Check PCIe SAS card compatibility2. Due to global chip shortages, this product is out of stock and facing manufacturing delays. We have now stopped taking orders because of supply uncertainty. When availability of the SAS chipset stabilizes, we will evaluate the market demand again.For PC/Server:The TL-R1220Sep-RP SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space of Windows® servers. You can daisy-chain multiple JBODs via high-speed Mini SAS HD cables for flexible storage expansion to meet the requirements of virtualization applications and storing huge data. Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP consolidates 6Gb/s infrastructure into 12Gb/s; SAS Zoning technology divides one TL-R1220Sep-RP to into dedicated storage zones for four host servers. When connected to a Windows server that supports multipath routing, the TL-R1220Sep-RP can achieve smoother data transmission and continuous system operation. The TL-R1220Sep-RP also supports Windows S2D (Storage Spaces Direct) failover cluster that combines storage, compute, and networking for centralized management.**Notice: Due to global chip shortages, this product is out of stock and facing manufacturing delays. We have now stopped taking orders because of supply uncertainty. When availability of the SAS chipset stabilizes, we will evaluate the market demand again.
