Qnap QM2-2P2G2T PCIe Card With 2xM.2 SSD Slots and Dual 2.5GbE Port Connectivity

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the QM2-2P2G2T PCIe card which adds M.2 SSD slots and 2.5GbE connectivity to a company’s NAS or PC/server/workstation.

NAS users can benefit from 2.5GbE connectivity, improve overall NAS performance by enabling SSD caching, and upgrade NAS storage capacity without occupying any 3.5-inch drive bays.

PC/server/workstation users can increase their storage capacity while also boosting overall IO/s performance by offloading bandwidth-demanding tasks to SSDs to minimize application loading times.

“The QM2-2P2G2T represents Qnap’s commitment to providing comprehensive and budget-friendly solutions not only for Qnap NAS users but also for PC/workstation users. The QM2-2P2G2T is ideal for use in homes and workplaces to handle resource-demanding applications, such as inline video-editing and gaming, and is especially suited for Windows Server,” said Stanley Huang, product manager.

The QM2-2P2G2T features dual 2.5GBASE-T Multi-Gigabit (2.5Gb/1Gb/100Mb/10Mb) network ports to boost bandwidth-demanding tasks. M.2 SSD thermal sensors allow real-time temperature monitoring, with a quiet cooling module (heatsink and smart fan) to keep the SSDs running within optimal temperatures.

Key specs:

Supported OSs

• Qnap NAS: QTS or QuTS hero (for greater compatibility, ensure you are running the latest version).

• PC/Server: Windows 10 (1809 or later), Linux (stable kernel 4.20/5.x), Windows Server 2019.

Note: Windows and Linux require the Intel I225LM driver.

The QM2-2P2G2T can be purchased from the company’s accessories store.
