The TR-002 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Gen. 2 RAID expansion enclosure means that you can expand the capacity of your QNAP NAS & PC. The TR-002 can also be utilized as a DAS (Direct-attached Storage) device, allowing you to directly access its content just by connecting it via USB (Universal Serial Bus). The TR-002 features two 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Gen. 2 Type-C connectivity to bring you a highly-reliable & secure storage capacity expansion solution.\n \n Effective storage expansion with RAID Support\n The TR-002 is an ideal storage expansion solution for PCs, especially for laptops which lack the ability to install higher-capacity drives. Featuring two 3.5-inch SATA drive bays & supporting RAID configuration, the TR-002 provides the ability to store a vast number of files & data & to ensure protection against potential drive failure.\n \n upports various RAID levels\n The TR-002 supports various RAID configurations. Depending on your requirements, you can switch between hardware- or software-controlled RAID modes. Move the DIP switches to corresponding positions for your ideal RAID mode: Individual, JBOD, RAID 0 or RAID 1. You can also configure the RAID settings from your QNAP NAS, or by using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility on your computer.\n \n Flexible storage configuration & management\n Compared with other RAID enclosures, the TR-002 provides software-controlled configurations for greater management flexibility. Users can configure RAID & monitor disk health using Storage & Snapshots Manager on a QNAP NAS, or by using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility on their computer.\n \n Scenario 1: Expand the capacity of your NAS\n The TR-002 allows users to expand their NAS storage capacity. By connecting the TR-002 to their NAS & using the Storage & Snapshots Manager, users can easily configure & manage their storage expansion. The TR-002 supports a variety of QNAP NAS storage & file management functions, allowing users to build storage pools, find files with Qsirch & organize files with Qfiling.\n \n Use the TR-002 as an alternative to conventional NAS expansion enclosures\n As an external hardware RAID device, the TR-002 operates independently & does not require additional NAS system resources. The TR-002 features USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Gen.2 connection & supports SATA 6 Gb/s drives for high-speed data access.\n \n Scenario 2: External storage for your NAS\n Instead of using the TR-002 to expand the capacity of your QNAP NAS, you can use it as a complimentary storage unit for backing up or moving data. It also means that you can physically migrate huge data collections that would require significant network bandwidth. While connected to the NAS, you can monitor the health & status of the TR-002 by using the Storage & Snapshots Manager on the NAS.\n \n Scenario 3: Expand the storage space of your computer\n The TR-002 can quickly add storage space to your computer. You can use the DIP switch to configure a hardware RAID mode or manage it by using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility. The health & status of the TR-002 can also be monitored by using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility.\n \n Scenario 4: Cross-platform file sharing\n From your NAS to Windows, Mac, & Linux computers, the TR-002 is compatible with a wide range of devices. This makes it absolutely ideal for quickly moving large files between different devices. The TR-002 is even compatible with devices that use the ex FAT file system*, adding further convenience for accessing & sharing files from a wider range of devices.\n\n class="generic"> Storage Number of storage drives supported 2 Storage drive size 2.5/3.5 Number of storage drives installed 2 Installed storage drive type HDDSupported storage drive interfaces Serial ATA II, Serial ATA IIIRAID levels 0, 1, JBODHot-swap Yes Ports & interfaces USB version 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2)USB connectivity Yes USB connector type USB Type-CUSB ports quantity 1DC-in jack Yes Technical details RAID levels 0, 1, JBODNumber of fans 1 fan (s)LED indicators HDD, SSD, Status, USBHot-swap Yes Fan diameter 7 cm Product colour Black USB version 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) Design Product type HDD/SSD enclosure Number of fans 1 fan (s)LED indicators HDD, SSD, Status, USBFan diameter 7 cm Product colour Black Performance Supported file systems FAT32, HFS+, NTFS, ex FAT, ext 3, ext 4 External power adapter Yes Power Power source type DCAC adapter input voltage 100
