Use a PCIe Gen 3 x8 card to connect your NAS to TL PCIe Interface JBOD for storage expansion
The QXP-3X8PES PCIe card is designed for expanding the capacity of a QuTS hero or QTS NAS by connecting it to QNAP TL PCIe Interface JBOD. Multiple JBODs can be daisy-chained via high-speed cables to scale up to petabyte-level storage to handle exponential data growth caused by archiving/backing up surveillance recordings, RAW multimedia files, big data, and virtualization applications.

Petabyte-scale capacity with economy
Expand up to petabyte-scale capacity for QuTS hero NAS, by connecting multiple PCIe JBOD expansion enclosures. .
-
Up to 64 Gb/s
The QXP-3X8PES PCIe Gen 3 x8 expansion card provides up to 64 Gb/s data transfer speed.
Note: Actual transfer speeds depend on the host NAS's PCIe slot and the storage units used.
-
SFF-8644 special cables supported
Install a QXP-3X8PES for connecting the enclosures using SFF-8644 8X special cables.
Expand up to petabyte-scale capacity
A NAS with a QXP-3X8PES can be daisy-chained with multiple TL PCIe Interface JBODs (TL-R1200PES-RP, TL-R1600PES-RP and TL-R2400PES-RP), which supports SATA HDDs. This provides the potential to store up to petabyte-scale capacity.
Actual number of expansion units may depend on the host NAS.

Note:
1. The TL PCIe Interface JBOD series requires users to connect cables to specific inputs/outputs.
2. Actual number of expansion units may depend on the host NAS. Always consult the compatibility list before purchasing accessories for host devices.
3. To attain 64Gbps transfer speeds with a QXP-3X8PES expansion card, you can connect to a TDS-h2489FU NAS with ten JBODs to achieve up to 3.4 PB capacity (using RAID 60). To achieve 4.1 PB capacity (the maximum capacity calculated using RAID 60) with a QXP-3X8PES expansion card, you can connect to a TS-h2490FU NAS with twelve JBODs using 32Gbps transfer speeds. To attain 64Gbps transfer speeds with a QXP-3X8PES expansion card, the TS-h2490FU NAS can only by connected to four JBODs via PCIe slot 2.
