SKU: TL-R1210TC4-RP
The TL-R1210TC4-RP is a redundant-power 2U rackmount JBOD with twelve hot-swappable SATA drive bays and one USB 4 Type-C host interface. It supports 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or 2.5-inch SATA solid state drives and delivers transfer speeds up to 40Gbps for storage expansion, backup, archiving and data migration.
The TL-R1210TC4-RP is a twelve-bay rackmount USB 4 JBOD expansion enclosure with dual 250W power supply modules. It can expand supported QNAP NAS and computer storage while providing hot-swappable SATA bays, UASP support, host-based power synchronisation and JBOD status monitoring.
Flexible expansion for supported NAS and computer environments.
The twelve-bay enclosure supports up to 312TB of raw capacity based on twelve 26TB drives. It is designed for long-term backup, archiving, data sharing and other large-capacity storage requirements in a 2U rackmount form factor.
The optional RAIL-B02 rail kit allows installation in a standard 19-inch rack that meets ANSI/EIA-RS-310-D specifications.
USB 4 connectivity, UASP and redundant power support efficient data access and stable service.
The USB 4 Type-C host interface supports transfer speeds up to 40Gbps. Actual performance depends on the connected device, cable and operating environment.
USB Attached SCSI Protocol support can improve transfer speed and reduce data delays when the host computer and operating system also support UASP.
Two 250W power supply modules provide power redundancy for stable operation and service continuity.
The JBOD can synchronise power-on and power-off operations with the connected host device.
All twelve drive bays are hot-swappable, supporting easier drive replacement and storage maintenance.
A fan mode switch provides Auto, high, medium and low settings for the two 80mm cooling fans.
Create independent storage or use the enclosure in external disk mode.
Storage & Snapshots Manager can create an independent software RAID storage pool on the TL-R1210TC4-RP, with support for RAID migration and disk replacement.
Each installed drive can be presented as independent storage for quick transfers or short-term backup requirements.
Storage & Snapshots Manager can monitor S.M.A.R.T. status and configure notifications for installed drives.
Storage pool limitation: The TL-R1210TC4-RP can only be used as an independent storage pool or disk area. It cannot be merged with the NAS main storage pool or disk area, and system applications can only be installed on the NAS.
Use software RAID or independent disks on supported computer platforms.
On Windows, built-in tools such as Windows Storage Spaces can combine multiple drives into a software RAID. Alternatively, each drive can be accessed independently in single disk mode for large data batches, archiving and removable-disk workflows.
Software RAID storage is not cross-platform due to platform incompatibilities. Once configured, it should remain on the same platform.
Monitor device and disk status from supported Windows and Linux systems.
QNAP JBOD Manager can report device health, disk status, fan speed and recorded system events. Abnormal conditions can trigger real-time desktop notifications.
The supplied content specifies JBOD Manager v1.3 for Windows users and JBOD Manager v1.1 for Linux users.
