Qnap Dual-Port QM2 PCIe Cards With M.2 2280 NVMe SSD Slots and 10GbE Ports for NAS/PC

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the QM2-2P410G1T and QM2-2P410G2T PCIe Gen 4 cards; and the QM2-2P10G1TB PCIe Gen 3 card.

All 3 PCIe cards allow adding M.2 NVMe SSD slots and 10GbE connectivity to company’s NAS or PC/server/workstation, with no driver installation required. NAS users can 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 QM2-2P410GxT series and the QM2-2P10G1TB cards are new members of Qnap’s popular QM2 expansion card product line, which provides a competitive, budget-friendly storage expansion solution for both Qnap NAS users and PC/workstation users,” said Stanley Huang, product manager. “The new QM2-2P410GXT series features Broadcom PCIe Gen 4 switch with PCIe 4.0 support and is ideal for handling resource-demanding applications, such as online 4K/8K video-editing and gaming. The QM2-2P10G1TB serves as a power-efficient and comprehensive solution, boost home/office productivity.”

The QM2-2P410GxT series and the QM2-2P10G1TB features single/dual 10GBase-T Multi-Gigabit (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) network ports to boost bandwidth-demanding tasks.

With QNAP 10GbE switches, user can upgrade to a fast network environment. 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. A tool-less design also enables quick M.2 SSD installation and replacement.
