Configure storage around your workload
Use the installed SSDs for caching, an SSD volume or QNAP Qtier auto-tiering. Caching can reduce I/O latency for demanding workloads, such as virtual machines and collections of small files. Alternatively, Qtier can automatically tier data across storage.
For photo and video workflows, an NVMe SSD volume can support editing high-resolution RAW media directly from the NAS. You can also use RAID configurations to help protect against data loss if a drive fails.
Active cooling and simple installation
A heatsink and smart fan provide active cooling for the SSDs, helping them maintain performance. LED indicators and thermal sensors let you monitor SSD status and temperatures.
The card uses a screw-less locking method to secure M.2 SSDs. It is ready to use without extra drivers or software, making installation more straightforward.
