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.
2. Due to global chip shortages, this product is out of stock and facing manufacturing delays. We have now stopped taking orders because of supply uncertainty. When availability of the SAS chipset stabilizes, we will evaluate the market demand again.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Storage Management

By using Storage & Snapshot Manager on the host NAS, you can configure and manage the TL-R1220Sep-RP’s storage space by setting RAID groups, storage pools and snapshots, or configuring the JBOD as the storage volume of host NAS, allowing you to easily expand NAS storage to accommodate massive data or backup files. You can also configure and manage the TL-R1220Sep-RP via the Console Port.

Speed up remote file transfers with JBOD migration

Moving many small files or a single large data file over a network can be time-consuming and negatively impact network performance. By setting up the RAID configuration on the TL-R1220Sep-RP, you can use it to move files to another computer or NAS. Simply save the files to the TL-R1220Sep-RP, connect it to the destination device, and then copy the files over.

 Note: When using software RAID configuration, the TL-R1220Sep-RP migration only supports hosts that use the same operating system.

Applicable PCIe SAS storage expansion card

The TL-R1220Sep-RP SAS 12Gb/s storage expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space of Windows® servers. You can daisy-chain multiple JBODs via high-speed Mini SAS HD cables for flexible storage expansion to meet the requirements of virtualization applications and storing huge data. Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP consolidates 6Gb/s infrastructure into 12Gb/s; SAS Zoning technology divides one TL-R1220Sep-RP to into dedicated storage zones for four host servers. When connected to a Windows server that supports multipath routing, the TL-R1220Sep-RP can achieve smoother data transmission and continuous system operation. The TL-R1220Sep-RP also supports Windows S2D (Storage Spaces Direct) failover cluster that combines storage, compute, and networking for centralized management.

Notice: Due to global chip shortages, this product is out of stock and facing manufacturing delays. We have now stopped taking orders because of supply uncertainty. When availability of the SAS chipset stabilizes, we will evaluate the market demand again.

Achieve up to 96Gb/s with link aggregation

The TL-R1220Sep-RP uses a low-power 28nm SAS35x28R SAS Expander and supports 12/6 Gb/s SAS/SATA drives. It also has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports. By connecting the TL-R1220Sep-RP to a host Windows server that supports multipath routing (Multipath I/O, MPIO) and daisy-chaining multiple JBODs with two wide ports configured with link aggregation, up to 96Gb/s transfer speeds can be achieved.

Ultimate performance for enterprise applications

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

Featuring Broadcom® SAS DataBolt™ bandwidth optimization technology, the TL-R1220Sep-RP uses an intelligent data buffer for transferring data to drives at speeds that match the performance of the host Windows server.

Flexibly connect multiple JBODs

The TL-R1220Sep-RP has four 12 Gb/s SAS 3.0 (x4 Lane) SFF-8644 SAS Wide Ports that connect to the Windows® server. It can be daisy-chained to connect multiple JBODs.

Note: 1. Use the CAB-SAS10M-8644-8088 12Gb/s to 6Gb/s external cable to connect to SAS REXP expansion enclosures and 6 Gb/s SAS HBA. 2. The maximum total storage capacity will vary based the limitations of the Windows server.

Multipath routing to ensure continuous system operations

By daisy chaining the TL-R1220Sep-RP, data transmission loads can be balanced with multipath routing (Multipath I/O, MPIO) to achieve high availability. If one route fails, another 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 continual operations.

Flexible daisy chaining

A Windows® server with a SAS hardware RAID card can be connected to multiple TL SAS JBODs to provide the server with high-capacity storage space. Multiple Windows® servers can individually connect to a single TL SAS JBOD and be configured into a S2D (Storage Space Direct) failover cluster, which is ideal for virtualization application storage. Coupled with multipath routing (Multipath I/O, MPIO) and link aggregation, you can benefit from higher transfer speeds and system availability.

One JBOD for 4 servers with SAS zoning technology

The TL-R1220Sep-RP supports SAS zoning technology, allowing you to divide the TL-R1220Sep-RP into four zones with the QNAP JBOD Manager app. This allows the TL-R1220Sep-RP to serve as storage expansion for up to four Windows servers. When connected through different Wide ports of the TL-R1220Sep-RP, you can only access to a single zone, ensuring higher data security.

Exclusive drive monitoring tool for Windows® servers

The QNAP JBOD Manager features a user-friendly interface, allowing you to intuitively manage the TL-R1220Sep-RP. In addition to operating status information, you can also see the topology of the connected device, configure SAS zoning settings, and manage the firmware of all connected TL-R1220Sep-RP.

Note: 1. The QNAP JBOD Manager app for SAS JBOD supports Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016 and 2019. The SAS HBA installed on the Windows Server must also support the same Windows Server version to ensure QNAP JBOD Manager can recognize the server. 2. Windows server with Broadcom SAS RAID card installed cannot be shown in the QNAP JBOD Manager’s Connection Topology due to the expansion card’s limitations.

Supports command-line interface

You can connect your computer to the TL-R1220Sep-RP via the Console Port, and use your command line interface (CLI) to configure the TL-R1220Sep-RP (for example: set SAS Zoning to eight zones).

 Note: A password is required to use the CLI. The default password is 00000000 (eight zeros).
