The total storage capacity, in this case, can be increased to 4.6 PB
Qnap Systems recently introduced expansion cards to expand compatible storage capacities. The QXP-820S card adds two 12 Gbps SAS ports to the storage configuration, and the QXP-1620S card adds four.
Qnap launches two and four 12 Gbps SAS expansion cards for storage expansion
Expansion card ports accept TL SAS JBOD chassis and REXP expansion modules. It is possible to daisy chain multiple expansion modules using high-speed mini SAS HD cables. The total storage capacity in this case can be increased to 4.6 PB.
According to the manufacturer, the QXP-1620S and QXP-820S can be flexibly configured for different use cases. The ability to create multiple links and link aggregation between the NAS and expansion units allows load balancing and prevents bottlenecks and disruptions.
Maps are already available. The manufacturer does not name their prices.
