Dual M.2 PCIe slots
Set up an SSD cache or storage pools to increase file access efficiency.
Two SATA drive bays
Supports up to two SATA drives.
Flexible PCIe expansion
Two PCIe Gen3 x2 slots allow users to install 10GbE network cards, QM2 dual-port M.2 SSD/10GbE cards, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) cards, or wireless adapters.
Mesh VPN
Host containerized applications and virtual machines with various operating systems. Flexibly install QuWAN, virtual router, firewalls, or wireless LAN management software for various networking management applications.

Sturdy hardware with Intel QAT for optimized performance
The QGD-1602 uses Intel® Atom® C3000 series multi-core 2.2GHz processors, has two SATA drive bays, and provides and two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for SSD caching to increase IOPS performance. Two PCIe Gen3 x2 slots allows users to install 10GbE network cards, QM2 dual-port M.2 SSD/10GbE cards, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) cards, or Wireless Adapters to boost core functionality. The QGD-1602 also supports Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT) to greatly enhance IPsec VPN performance.
Intel® QAT is supported when using QTS 4.4.3 (or later).
The First Switch Series with VM Support
The Guardian supports QNAP’s QTS operating system and is the world’s first switch series that can host virtual machines, containers, and provide other cloud applications - enabling diverse networking and storage solutions. In addition to QuWAN, QVR Pro, HybridMount, and other applications, the included App Center also supports VMs for running many open-source software applications. The Guardian provides SMBs with not only an all-in-one networking solution for IP surveillance, storage expansion, network security, and wireless LAN management, but also a SD-WAN solution for connecting to other QNAP devices at multiple sites. The dual-processor Guardian enables you to independently run the networking management interfaces (QSS - QNAP Switch System) and QTS. The Guardian provides a user-friendly web interface, QuNetSwitch, to help SMBs deploy a flexible and secure IT infrastructure.

QTS and QSS can work independently without interference to ensure continuous operation. For example, when restarting QTS, the QSS connections will not be interrupted; when rebooting QSS, the VMs on QTS will keep running.
Faster wired and wireless transmission
The QGD-1602 has eight 2.5GbE ports and eight Gigabit ports for connecting various high-speed devices. Two in-built 10GbE SFP+ ports can serve as uplink ports to the Internet and core networks or simply be connected to routers and LAN Fiber switches. The additional two 5GbE and two Gigabit host management ports can be connected to multiple hosts or LAN devices to improve LAN efficiency. The switching capacity of QGD-1602 is 96Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port. By installing an 802.11ac Wireless Adapter and the WirelessAP Station App, the QGD-1602 can work as an access point for connecting multiple edge devices and offer wireless speeds up to 2533Mbps.
20GbE Internal Bandwidth for Virtualized Applications
QTS can directly access to and control the data processed in QSS using Virtual Switches. The QGD-1602 provides 20GbE internal bandwidth to accelerate computing between end devices and hosts. The additional two 5GbE and two Gigabit host management ports can also be connected to multiple hosts for deploying multiple virtual machines.
QuNetSwitch: Layer 2 Management with User-friendly Web GUI
The QGD-1602 provides comprehensive Layer 2 management features (including VLAN, LACP, and LLDP) for efficient control of networks through IP grouping and bandwidth management. Powerful security functions (including IGMP Snooping, static MAC, QoS, and Wake-on-LAN) are also suitable for simple networking environments and easy deployment. Aside from the QNAP Switch System (QSS), the QGD-1602 also offers the user-friendly web interface software QuNetSwitch (via QTS) to help IT staff control Layer 2 management networks. The overview dashboard and statistical analysis area displays all the information about the switch and devices at a glance, making centralized management of devices intuitive and easy.
