  • Expands NAS storage to petabyte scale by daisy-chaining multiple JBOD enclosures
  • Delivers up to 64 Gb/s throughput over PCIe Gen 3 x8 connection
  • Connects to TL PCIe JBOD units using SFF-8644 8X cables
  • Compatible with TS-h987XU-RP, TDS-h2489FU and TS-h1090FU models
  • Requires QuTS hero h5.1.2 or QTS 5.1.2 with updated BIOS

PCIe Gen3 x8 expansion card for NAS

The QXP-3X8PES is a dual-port PCIe Gen3 x8 expansion card designed for QNAP desktop NAS units. It enables connection to TL PCIe Interface JBOD enclosures for storage expansion. The card supports data transfer speeds up to 64 Gb/s using SFF-8644 8X cables. It requires QuTS hero h5.1.2 or QTS 5.1.2 and specific BIOS updates on the host NAS.

Suits QuTS hero or QTS NAS owners needing

This card fits administrators who want to daisy-chain multiple TL-R1200PES-RP, TL-R1600PES-RP or TL-R2400PES-RP JBODs using SATA drives. It is not for users whose NAS lacks a compatible PCIe slot or the required firmware versions. Buyers who cannot verify their model on the official compatibility list should look elsewhere. Systems without the necessary BIOS updates will not support the card.

Bundled SFF-8644 cables enable high-speed JBOD links

The supported SFF-8644 8X special cables provide the physical link between the card and each expansion enclosure. Using these cables allows daisy-chaining of multiple JBOD units to reach petabyte-scale capacity. Actual expansion limits depend on the specific host NAS model. Correct cable routing to designated inputs and outputs on the JBODs is required for operation.

Questions about this item

What NAS models must I already own to install this QXP-3X8PES expansion card?

The card is recommended for the TS-h987XU-RP, TDS-h2489FU and TS-h1090FU. The host NAS must run QuTS hero h5.1.2 or QTS 5.1.2 or later with the required BIOS update.

Will this card work with my existing TL PCIe JBOD enclosures such as the TL-R1200PES-RP, TL-R1600PES-RP or TL-R2400PES-RP?

Yes, the QXP-3X8PES connects to those TL PCIe Interface JBODs using SFF-8644 cables. Multiple JBODs can be daisy-chained for petabyte-scale capacity with SATA HDDs.

How can I verify the card is delivering the stated 64 Gb/s transfer speed after setup?

Confirm the host NAS shows a PCIe Gen 3 x8 link for the QXP-3X8PES and run storage benchmarks over the SFF-8644 connection to the attached JBODs.
