Qnap 12-Bay 2U TL-R1220Sep-RP and 16-Bay 3U TL-R1620Sep-RP 12Gb SAS Storage Rackmount Enclosures

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched TL SAS storage enclosures, including the 12-bay TL-R1220Sep-RP and 16-bay TL-R1620Sep-RP models, both providing storage expansions for QTS/ QuTS hero NAS.

The TL SAS JBOD supports 12Gb SAS transmission, delivering up to 96Gb/s transfer speed and supporting Broadcom, Inc.’s SAS DataBolt bandwidth optimization and multipath routing. Up to 16 JBODs can also be daisy-chained to reach 4.6PB raw capacity, providing performance and capacity storage expansion solutions for corporations looking for massive storage.

The TL SAS JBOD is powered by a SAS35x28R/SAS35x36R SAS Expander with 4 SAS wide ports each combining four 12Gb SAS lanes. By configuring 2 wide ports with link aggregation, transfer speeds can reach 96Gb/s. Featuring SAS DataBolt bandwidth optimization technology, the TL SAS JBOD features a data buffer for transferring data to drives at speeds that match the performance of the host NAS, allowing user to benefit from high-speed 12Gb SAS transmission with existing 6Gb infrastructure. With the host NAS supports multipath routing, HA can be achieved. If one route fails, another transmission route can be used to access the data and ensure continuous system operations.

“Compared with our existing REXP expansion enclosures. the TL SAS JBOD provides higher performance and double the data transmission speeds. It can also daisy-chain up to sixteen JBODs to reach 4.6PB raw capacity. By using the Storage and Snapshot Manager app on the host NAS, users can easily configure and manage the settings of the TL SAS JBOD, including RAID groups and snapshots, to ensure the full consolidation and integrity of data,” said David Tsao, product manager.

Featuring a short-depth design, the TL SAS JBOD is suitable for universal deployment. Up to 16 expansion enclosures can be daisy-chained via mini SAS HD cables to support massive storage capacity applications (including virtualization, surveillance, big data, and 4K/8K multimedia). These SAS JBOD also provides the ability to accelerate transferring huge files: After moving files to the TL SAS JBOD, it can be removed from the host NAS and attached to another NAS to facilitate data transfer without impacting network performance.
