Hello Guys!
I have QNAP NAS TS-1673AU-RP and I am planning to expand and add another 12 or 16-bay expansion enclosure and I wonder if someone expert here could suggest which model of expansion enclosure is feasable for this model?
Thank you so much in advance…
Compatible Enclosures are here
Do you want to implement extra storage pools or expand an existing one ?
You obviously know more than the rest of us here, but there are advantages (and of course disadvantages) to a separate physical unit as opposed to expansion. Maybe it doesn’t fit your usage scenario, but something to consider or rule out.
Thank You @dolbyman for the link and to tell you I want to expand the existing pools.
Thank you for your comment, @dosborne Because I handle a massive amount of data that increases hourly, adding a separate physical NAS unit would force me to manage new storage pools and reconfigure my Windows Server Group Policies. To avoid that overhead, I would rather expand my existing pool.
Hello Obaidi, to expand your TS-1673AU-RP storage pool with a 12 or 16-bay enclosure, we recommend our PCIe interface JBODs: the 12-bay TL-R1200PES-RP or the 16-bay TL-R1600PES-RP. They offer fantastic performance and are perfect for your setup!
Important Note: To connect these JBODs to your NAS, please remember that you will also need to purchase a QNAP QXP-3X4PES PCIe expansion card to install in your TS-1673AU-RP.
