Qnap Launches 12-Bay TL-R1220Sep-RP and 16-Bay TL-R1620Sep-RP Rackmount SAS Storage Systems

Qnap Systems, Inc. announced the TL SAS storage enclosures, including the 12-bay TL-R1220Sep-RP and 16-bay TL-R1620Sep-RP models, which support storage expansion for Windows servers.

The TL SAS JBOD supports 12Gb SAS transmission, delivering up to 96Gb/s transfer speed and supporting Broadcom SAS DataBolt bandwidth optimization and multipath routing (Multipath I/O, MPIO). Users can daisy-chain multiple JBODs to expand capacity or divide 1 JBOD into multiple zones, providing a solution for massive storage with high-performance, high-capacity, and high storage utilization.

The TL SAS JBOD is powered by a SAS35x28R/SAS35x36R SAS Expander with 4 SAS wide ports each combining 4x12Gb SAS lanes.

By configuring 2 wide ports with link aggregation, transfer speeds can reach 96Gb/s. Featuring Broadcom 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 server, allowing users to benefit from high-speed 12Gb SAS transmission with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure. If the host Windows server supports MPIO, HA can be achieved. If one route fails, another transmission route can be used to access the data and ensure continuous system operations. The TL SAS JBOD also supports SAS zoning technology, allowing one JBOD to serve as storage expansion for up to 4 Windows servers.

“The TL SAS JBOD is a key storage expansion solution for both Qnap NAS and Windows Server. TL SAS JBODs are easy to set up and can be managed with either the Qnap JBOD Manager utility or command line without requiring an Internet connection,” said Sam Lin, product manager,.

Featuring a short-depth design, the TL SAS JBOD is for universal deployment. Up to 16 expansion enclosures can be daisy-chained via high-speed mini SAS HD cables to support massive storage capacity applications.

Supported host servers

Windows Server 2012 R2/ 2016/ 2019
