Description
When expanding data storage capacity, deploying multiple servers can lead to complexity in management and dramatically increased costs. QNAP TX-500P expansion enclosure provides a flexible expansion alternative designed with easy setup in mind for scaling up your NAS storage space. The TX-500P provides an additional 5 hard drives providing expanded capacity for the NAS, making it ideal for data backup, 4K digital media collection and video surveillance storage with blazing-fast data transmission performance.
-
Easily add additional drive capacity to your NAS
Simply connect the TX-500P to the NAS and power it on. The NAS will automatically detect the hard drives in the TX-500P as newly installed local drives. The Thunderbolt NAS capacity can then be seamlessly expanded as a large volume. -
Missing mode protection
If your TX-500P is accidentally disconnected, your NAS enters the missing mode and blocks I/O access to protect the stored data. The system can then recover from the missing mode to the normal state with data staying intact. -
Efficient backup solution
In addition to expanding an existing volume, you can use the TX-500P as a flexible external storage to perform speedy and secure backup tasks for your NAS. The QNAP RTRR or rsync service lets IT administrators back up NAS data to the TX-500P on a real-time or scheduled basis. -
Smart power design
The TX-500P automatically powers on and off with your NAS, allowing for total convenience and energy saving. -
Flexible drive selection
The TX-500P offers high flexibility in hard drive selection. IT administrators can choose high-capacity SATA HDDs for large data archiving, or high-speed and high-stability SSDs for I/O intensive operations. -
Excellent hardware design
The TX-500P includes a full internal PSU to provide ample power even under sustained full load. The well-ventilated chassis and smart fan help to provide efficient cooling for better stability and reliability, with the fan enabling efficient heat removal even when all 5 drives are under full operation simultaneously.
