Expansion Unit TL-R1220Sep-RP

Enterprise-grade SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion supporting multipath routing and daisy chaining

The TL-R1220Sep-RP SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space of your QTS or QuTS hero NAS. Up to sixteen expansion enclosures can be daisy-chained via high-speed mini SAS HD cables to support up to 3.4PB raw capacity, ideal for archiving/backing up virtualization applications, surveillance recordings, large data, or multimedia. Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP consolidates 6Gb/s infrastructure into 12Gb/s. With four mini SAS HD SFF-8644 Wide Ports, the TL-R1220Sep-RP delivers up to 192Gbps transfer speed when connected to a single host. When connected to a QTS/QuTS hero NAS that supports multipath routing, the TL-R1220Sep-RP can achieve smoother data transmission and continuous system operation.

Note:
1. The QNAP NAS requires QTS 4.5.1 / QuTS hero h4.5.1 (or later) with SAS ports or with a QXP PCIe SAS storage expansion card installed. Check PCIe SAS card compatibility

Achieve up to 96Gb/s with link aggregation

The TL-R1220Sep-RP is powered by a low-power 28nm SAS35x28R SAS Expander and supports 12/6 Gb/s SAS/SATA drives. Also, it has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports. By connecting the TL-R1220Sep-RP to the host NAS and daisy-chaining multiple JBODs with two wide ports configured with link aggregation, the solution delivers up to 96Gb/s transfer speed.

Ultimate performance for enterprise applications

Virtualization Certifications Supported by TL-R1220Sep-RP

Supports SAS DataBolt™ technology, delivers 12Gb/s speed using existing 6Gb/s infrastructure

Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP features an intelligent data buffer for transferring data to drives at speeds that match the performance of the host NAS. Whether the TL-R1220Sep-RP uses 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s drives, the NAS host will transfer data to the TL-R1220Sep-RP at 12Gb/s, allowing you benefit from high-speed 12Gb/s SAS transmission with existing 6Gb/s infrastructure.

Connect up to 16 JBODs, support up to 3.4PB raw capacity

The TL-R1220Sep-RP has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports. Up to sixteen TL-R1220Sep-RP can be daisy-chained to achieve a raw capacity of up to 3.4PB.

Note:
1. Use the CAB-SAS10M-8644-8088 12Gb/s to 6Gb/s external cable to connect to SAS NAS / REXP expansion enclosures and 6 Gb/s SAS HBA.
2. The host NAS requires one QXP-1620S-B3616W SAS card to daisy chain sixteen JBODs with single path routing. Using multipath routing with link aggregation enabled, the host NAS with one QXP-1620S-B3616W SAS card can daisy chain four JBODs; the host NAS with two QXP-1620S-B3616W SAS cards can daisy chain eight JBODs.

Multipath routing to ensure continuous system operations

By daisy chaining the TL-R1220Sep-RP, data transmission loads can be balanced with multipath routing to achieve high availability. If one route fails, another transmission route can be used to access the data and ensure continuous system operations. The TL-R1220Sep-RP also features a redundant power supply to ensure system uptime.

Note: Multipath routing requires a host NAS with QTS 4.5.1 / QuTS hero h4.5.1 (or later). 

Flexible daisy chaining modes

By daisy-chaining your NAS to multiple TL SAS JBODs and REXP SAS JBODs, you can take advantage of multipath routing and link aggregation to benefit from higher transfer speeds and system availability.
