Qnap 24-Bay TL-R2400PES-RP PCIe Gen 3 x8 4U JBOD System

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the PCIe JBOD storage enclosure TL-R2400PES-RP, featuring PCIe Gen 3 x8, and providing up to 64Gb/s data transfer.

Following the release of 12 and 16-bay models of the TL-Rx00PES-RP PCIe JBOD series, the company extends the series lineup by introducing the 24-bay 4U rackmount TL-R2400PES-RP model.

Users can expand existing NAS storage volumes to petabyte-class by connecting multiple TL-Rx00PES-RP series JBODs, without requiring RAID-rebuilding on the host NAS. The series uses SATA drives, allowing businesses to choose from a range of enterprise HDDs. This series is for businesses who want to archive/backup virtualization applications, surveillance recordings, multimedia, and other large data.

The eries power on/off is linked with the host NAS, which helps reduce hardware management tasks for IT staff. Storage expansion cards QXP-3X8PES (PCIe Gen 3 x8) or the QXP-3X4PES (PCIe Gen 3 x4) are required for the NAS to scale up using TL-Rx00PES-RP series expansion enclosures.
