About QNAP TL-R1620SEP-RP

- For NAS -
The TL-R1620Sep-RP SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space of your QTS or QuTS hero NAS. Up to sixteen expansion enclosures can be daisy-chained via high-speed mini SAS HD cables to support up to 4.6PB raw capacity, ideal for archiving/backing up virtualization applications, surveillance recordings, large data, or multimedia. Featuring Broadcom SAS DataBolt bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1620Sep-RP consolidates 6Gb/s infrastructure into 12Gb/s. With four mini SAS HD SFF-8644 Wide Ports, the TL-R1620Sep-RP delivers up to 192Gbps transfer speed when connected to a single host. When connected to a QTS/QuTS hero NAS that supports multipath routing, the TL-R1620Sep-RP can achieve smoother data transmission and continuous system operation.

Supported NAS System
Expand the storage space of a QTS/QuTS hero NAS, supports up to 4.6PB raw capacity by daisy-chaining up to 16 expansion enclosures.

DataBolt Bandwidth Optimization
Combine two 6Gb/s connections into one 12 Gb/s data stream to achieve faster speed with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

Multipath Routing
Ensure smooth data transmission and continuous operation by using the TL-R1620Sep-RP with a NAS that supports multipath routing.

Storage Management
Manage the storage space and settings of the TL-R1620Sep-RP with Storage & Snapshot Manager on the host NAS.

Remote Files Transfer
Conserve network bandwidth and performance by using the TL-R1620Sep-RP to transfer huge files from one device to another.

Easy Installation & Storage
With a short-depth design, the TL-R1620Sep-RP is suitable for universal deployment.

Achieve up to 96Gb/s with link aggregation
The TL-R1620Sep-RP is powered by a low-power 28nm SAS35x36R 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-R1620Sep-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-R1620Sep-RP features an intelligent data buffer for transferring data to drives at speeds that match the performance of the host NAS. Whether the TL-R1620Sep-RP uses 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s drives, the NAS host will transfer data to the TL-R1620Sep-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 4.6PB raw capacity
The TL-R1620Sep-RP has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports. Up to sixteen TL-R1620Sep-RP can be daisy-chained to achieve a raw capacity of up to 4.6PB.

Multipath routing to ensure continuous system operations
By daisy chaining the TL-R1620Sep-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-R1620Sep-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-R1620Sep-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-R1620Sep-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-R1620Sep-RP, you can use it to move files to another computer or NAS. Simply save the files to the TL-R1620Sep-RP, connect it to the destination device, and then copy the files over.


- For PC/Server -
The TL-R1620Sep-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-R1620Sep-RP consolidates 6Gb/s infrastructure into 12Gb/s; SAS Zoning technology divides one TL-R1620Sep-RP to into dedicated storage zones for four host servers. When connected to a Windows server that supports multipath routing, the TL-R1620Sep-RP can achieve smoother data transmission and continuous system operation. The TL-R1620Sep-RP also supports Windows S2D (Storage Spaces Direct) failover cluster that combines storage, compute, and networking for centralized management.

Supported Server
Certified with Windows Server 2019; can be daisy-chained to flexibly expand the storage spaces of Windows servers.

DataBolt Bandwidth Optimization
Combine multiple 6Gb/s transmissions into 12 Gb/s data streams to achieve faster speed with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

Multipath Routing
Ensure smooth data transmission and continuous operations by using the TL-R1620Sep-RP with a server that supports multipath routing (Multipath I/O, MPIO).

SAS Zoning
With the QNAP JBOD Manager app, the storage space of the TL-R1620Sep-RP can be divided into four zones. Different host servers can only access a single zone through different Wide Ports.

Storage Management
Windows users can manage the storage space and settings of the TL-R1620Sep-RP with the QNAP JBOD Manager app.
