QNAP - TL-R1600PES-RP - schijven-array - 16 bays (SATA-600 / SAS-3) SAS 12Gb/s (extern) rackmontage 2U

The QNAP TL-R1600PES-RP is a 2U PCIe interface JBOD enclosure that expands a QuTS hero or QTS NAS by accommodating up to sixteen 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drives or SSDs. Designed for rack mounting, it supports hot-swapping, redundant power supplies, and host-linked power management to deliver large-capacity, high-throughput storage for archiving, backup, and multimedia workflows.

Advantages

The TL-R1600PES-RP delivers up to 64 Gb/s through a PCIe Gen3 x8 interface and supports high-capacity SATA drives for cost-effective storage expansion. It can be connected to multiple units to scale a QuTS hero NAS to petabyte-class capacity without requiring RAID rebuilding on the host. Redundant power supplies and host-based power on/off enhance availability and simplify operation.

Suitable for

• Archive and backup for virtualization environments
• Storage of surveillance recordings
• Large-scale multimedia storage and editing libraries
• High-capacity extensions for enterprise and research NAS

Key specifications

• Drive bays: 16 (supports 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives)
• Interface: PCIe Gen3 x8 host connection
• Max throughput: up to 64 Gb/s (host link)
• Hot-swappable drive support
• Rackmount: 2U form factor
• Power: redundant power supply support; host-linked power on/off
• Weight: approximately 11.56 kg
• Colour: Black / Grey

How to use

Install the TL-R1600PES-RP in a 2U rack space, populate the bays with compatible 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drives or SSDs, and connect the enclosure to a compatible QuTS hero or QTS NAS using the PCIe host interface. The host NAS will detect the JBOD enclosure; no RAID rebuilding on the host is required for capacity expansion. Use the NAS management interface to assign and manage the added drives and storage pools.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability, use enterprise-grade SATA drives suited to your workload and configure the host NAS to perform regular backups. When deploying multiple TL-R1600PES-RP units, verify chassis cooling and rack power capacity; enable redundant power and host-linked power control to reduce downtime risk.
