Qnap: 3U 16-bay REXP-1610U-RP and 2U 12-Bay REXP-1210U-RP Rack Expansion for NAS

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the REXP-1610U-RP and REXP-1210U-RP expansion enclosures that support 6Gb SATA HDDs and SSDs.

Designed for expanding the storage space of a company’s NAS, these expansion enclosures provide a flexible and budget-friendly solution for organizations to tackle applications with data growth (such as archiving, high-resolution media storage, and video surveillance) without needing a large up-front investment.

“The rampant growth of data makes a flexible storage expansion solution a priority for organizations,” said David Tsao, product manager, Qnap, adding “QNAP provides a wide range of expansion enclosures with various transmission interfaces and price points, fulfilling the need for higher capacity and lower costs to resolve the needs of storage and backup.”

The REXP-x10U-RP series enables plug-and-use convenience for capacity expansion. With the ‘Storage and Snapshots Manager‘, administrators can configure the expansion operations and monitor the health of each expansion enclosure and the disks within them. The firm’s NAS also supports missing mode protection to protect data on the expansion enclosures.

The REXP-x10U-RP series performs as a secure and budget backup solution for the company’s NAS. Administrators can backup NAS data to the REXP-x10U-RP on a real time or scheduled basis using RTRR (Real-Time Remote Replication) or rsync, while the support of QJBOD Express (JBOD enclosures roaming) helps migrate data stored on the REXP-x10U-RP to another NAS without needing a network connection.

REXP-x10U-RP series supports following firm’s NAS series:
TDS-16489U, TES-x85U, TVS-1582TU, TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP (R2), TS-ECx80U (R2), TS-ECx79U-SAS-RP, SS-ECx79U-SAS-RP, TS-ECx79U-RP, TS-x79U-RP, TS-x73U/-RP, TVS-x71U/-RP

Note: A SAS storage expansion card (P/N: SAS-12G2E) is required if the NAS does not have Mini-SAS ports.
