QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in computing, networking, and storage solutions, today introduced industry-leading high-capacity JBOD expansion units featuring USB4 connectivity. The lineup includes the 8-bay desktop TL-D810TC4 and the 12-bay rackmount TL-R1210TC4-RP, delivering up to 40 Gbps theoretical bandwidth. Their USB4 Type-C ports are also compatible with Thunderbolt 5/4/3, giving creators and businesses a convenient, cost-efficient, and flexible way to expand storage.
The new series supports SATA 6 Gb/s HDDs and SSDs, allowing users to expand their NAS or computer storage based on their environment and workflow needs. This enables rapid capacity expansion and enhanced data protection. Optimized ventilation and active cooling ensure stable performance and long-term reliability during extended operation.
The lineup suits short-term projects, media creators requiring high-speed expansion, and businesses focused on long-term archiving and scheduled backups. QNAP also introduced the QXP-40G2UC dual-port USB4 Type-C PCIe expansion card for Intel- and AMD-based NAS, enabling USB4 connectivity and easy connection to JBOD units. Supported models are subject to the QNAP Compatibility List.
Eddie Chuang, Product Manager of QNAP, said most USB4 expansion products on the market are small SSD enclosures that cannot meet large-capacity or mid-to-long-term expansion needs. QNAP's USB4 JBOD lineup, he said, enables laptops, workstations, and NAS users to expand storage while maintaining convenience, high speed, and stability. The TL-D810TC4 supports Windows, macOS, and QNAP NAS with a metal enclosure and cooling fan, while the TL-R1210TC4-RP is a 2U rackmount model with dual power supplies built for server rooms and backup environments.
