The QXP-T52P Thunderbolt™ 5 expansion card is specially designed for QNAP NAS, providing creators with the fastest Thunderbolt™ NAS storage solution to easily handle high-speed 4K/8K video editing, asset synchronization, and multi-user online editing workflows.

• Ultra-fast Transfer

  The QXP-T52P uses Thunderbolt Networking technology, providing 40 Gbps unidirectional and 80 Gbps bidirectional bandwidth, doubling the previous generation, and ensuring faster video transfers and project backups.

  Maximum bandwidth is theoretical. The actual performance may be affected by the host system or operating system limitations.

• Dual-Port Expansion, Connect Multiple Devices

  Provides two Thunderbolt™ 5 ports, allowing the NAS to connect to multiple workstations simultaneously, ideal for parallel workflows in creative environments.

• Efficient Deployment with One Cable

  No complicated network setup is required—simply use a single Thunderbolt™ 5 cable to unlock the future of high-efficiency collaboration.

• Backward Compatibility, Seamless Integration

  The QXP-T52P Thunderbolt™ 5 expansion card is compatible with Thunderbolt™ 4 and Thunderbolt™ 3 devices, allowing you to retain existing equipment while preparing for future high-bandwidth applications.

Double the Performance, Break Through Bottlenecks

The QXP-T52P Thunderbolt™ 5 uses Thunderbolt Networking shared transmission technology, offering up to 40 Gbps of unidirectional bandwidth, with a total bidirectional bandwidth of up to 80 Gbps, double that of the previous generation.

One Thunderbolt™ 5 NAS to Meet Both Editing and Team Collaboration Needs

In video production teams, some focus on high-speed editing, while others handle special effects and backup management. Installing the QXP-T52P expansion card in the TVS-AIh1688ATX NAS enables support for Thunderbolt™ 5 direct high-speed editing and Ethernet (Ethernet) multi-user collaborative access, becoming the core platform for team-based creation.

• Editing workstations can directly connect to the NAS via Thunderbolt™ 5, quickly mounting assets and performing real-time online editing without needing to copy files to local computers.
• Other team members can use 10GbE or 2.5GbE network connections for video post-production, asset organization, or backups, and can use SMB or NFS protocols for file sharing, ensuring smooth collaboration without interference.

The Thunderbolt™ 5 expansion card is backward compatible with Thunderbolt™ 3/4 devices, allowing you to upgrade step-by-step without replacing existing devices.

QNAP Thunderbolt™ 5 Certified Cables

For best performance, use Thunderbolt™ 5 certified 80Gbps cables. These can be identified by a lightning bolt and the number 5 on the connector.
