Easy Installation & Storage
With a short-depth design, the TL-R1220Sep-RP is suitable for universal deployment.

Achieve up to 96Gb/s with link aggregation
The TL-R1220Sep-RP is powered by a low-power 28nm SAS35x28R SAS Expander and supports 12/6 Gb/s SAS/SATA drives. Also, it has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports. By connecting the TL-R1220Sep-RP to the host NAS and daisy-chaining multiple JBODs with two wide ports configured with link aggregation, the solution delivers up to 96Gb/s transfer speed.

Supports SAS DataBolt technology, delivers 12Gb/s speed using existing 6Gb/s infrastructure
Featuring Broadcom SAS DataBolt bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP features an intelligent data buffer for transferring data to drives at speeds that match the performance of the host NAS. Whether the TL-R1220Sep-RP uses 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s drives, the NAS host will transfer data to the TL-R1220Sep-RP at 12Gb/s, allowing you benefit from high-speed 12Gb/s SAS transmission with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

Connect up to 16 JBODs, support up to 3.4PB raw capacity
The TL-R1220Sep-RP has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports. Up to sixteen TL-R1220Sep-RP can be daisy-chained to achieve a raw capacity of up to 3.4PB.

Multipath routing to ensure continuous system operations
By daisy chaining the TL-R1220Sep-RP, data transmission loads can be balanced with multipath routing to achieve high availability. If one route fails, another transmission route can be used to access the data and ensure continuous system operations. The TL-R1220Sep-RP also features a redundant power supply to ensure system uptime.

Flexible daisy chaining modes
By daisy-chaining your NAS to multiple TL SAS JBODs and REXP SAS JBODs, you can take advantage of multipath routing and link aggregation to benefit from higher transfer speeds and system availability.

Storage Management
By using Storage & Snapshot Manager on the host NAS, you can configure and manage the TL-R1220Sep-RP's storage space by setting RAID groups, storage pools and snapshots, or configuring the JBOD as the storage volume of host NAS, allowing you to easily expand NAS storage to accommodate massive data or backup files. You can also configure and manage the TL-R1220Sep-RP via the Console Port.

Speed up remote file transfers with JBOD migration
Moving many small files or a single large data file over a network can be time-consuming and negatively impact network performance. By setting up the RAID configuration on the TL-R1220Sep-RP, you can use it to move files to another computer or NAS. Simply save the files to the TL-R1220Sep-RP, connect it to the destination device, and then copy the files over.

- For PC/Server -
The TL-R1220Sep-RP SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space of Windows servers. You can daisy-chain multiple JBODs via high-speed Mini SAS HD cables for flexible storage expansion to meet the requirements of virtualization applications and storing huge data. Featuring Broadcom SAS DataBolt bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP consolidates 6Gb/s infrastructure into 12Gb/s; SAS Zoning technology divides one TL-R1220Sep-RP to into dedicated storage zones for four host servers. When connected to a Windows server that supports multipath routing, the TL-R1220Sep-RP can achieve smoother data transmission and continuous system operation. The TL-R1220Sep-RP also supports Windows S2D (Storage Spaces Direct) failover cluster that combines storage, compute, and networking for centralized management.

Achieve up to 96Gb/s with link aggregation
The TL-R1220Sep-RP uses a low-power 28nm SAS35x28R SAS Expander and supports 12/6 Gb/s SAS/SATA drives. It also has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports. By connecting the TL-R1220Sep-RP to a host Windows server that supports multipath routing (Multipath I/O, MPIO) and daisy-chaining multiple JBODs with two wide ports configured with link aggregation, up to 96Gb/s transfer speeds can be achieved.

One JBOD for 4 servers with SAS zoning technology
The TL-R1220Sep-RP supports SAS zoning technology, allowing you to divide the TL-R1220Sep-RP into four zones with the QNAP JBOD Manager app. This allows the TL-R1220Sep-RP to serve as storage expansion for up to four Windows servers. When connected through different Wide ports of the TL-R1220Sep-RP, you can only access to a single zone, ensuring higher data security.

Exclusive drive monitoring tool for Windows servers
The QNAP JBOD Manager features a user-friendly interface, allowing you to intuitively manage the TL-R1220Sep-RP. In addition to operating status information, you can also see the topology of the connected device, configure SAS zoning settings, and manage the firmware of all connected TL-R1220Sep-RP.

Supports command-line interface
You can connect your computer to the TL-R1220Sep-RP via the Console Port, and use your command line interface (CLI) to configure the TL-R1220Sep-RP (for example: set SAS Zoning to eight zones).
