QM2 series PCIe cards add support for M.2 SSDs to a QNAP NAS, allowing users to configure SSD caching, a caching pool, or an auto-tiering volume to improve overall NAS performance. Tackle performance bottlenecks QM2 boosts performance by adding M.2 SSDs. It doesn’t occupy any 3.5-inch drive bays, allowing you to maximize both your storage capacity & performance. M.2 SSDs* can be installed to form caching pools or an auto-tiering volume. Enables SSD caching to boost performance & optimizes storage efficiency with Qtier Technology**. M.2 SSD thermal sensors allow real-time M.2 SSD temperature monitoring. A quiet cooling module (heatsink & smart fan) minimizes overheating risks & sustains constant high performance. Connector: 2 x M.2 22110 or 2280 SATA SSD slots PCIe & Lanes: PCIe Gen 2 x 2 Bracket: Low-profile (default). Low-profile flat & Full-height brackets are also included.
Dimensions (L x W x H): 147.15 x 68.9 x 20.6 mm; 5.79 x 2.71 x 0.81 inch
