The TR-002 USB 3.2 Gen 2 RAID expansion enclosure allows you to expand the capacity of your QNAP NAS and 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. The TR-002 features two 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connectivity to bring you a highly-reliable and secure storage capacity expansion solution.<b>USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps)</b>USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port for faster data transfer.<b>Supports SATA drives</b>Supports up to two SATA drives.<b>Disk mode DIP switch</b>Disk mode DIP switch to change from Hardware Control and Software Control configurations for setting RAID group.<b>Lockable drive trays</b>Lockable hard drive trays to prevent accidental drive removal.<b>Easy to eject</b>Eject button for disconnecting the TR-002 from a NAS or computer<b>Effective storage expansion with RAID Support</b>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 and supporting RAID configuration, the TR-002 provides the ability to store a vast number of files and data and to ensure protection against potential drive failure.<b>Supports various RAID levels</b>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.<b>Individual Mode</b>Treats every disk as separate storage space, allowing you to independently access each one.<b>JBOD Mode</b>All the disks are recognized as a single drive. This allows maximal storage utilization but provides no data protection.<b>RAID 0 Mode</b>Data is split amongst the drives. RAID 0 provides the fastest performance but does not protect data from drive failure.<b>RAID 1 Mode</b>Half of the total storage capacity is used to store data, and the other half keeps a copy of this data. This provides high data protection at the cost of only being able to use half the installed storage space.<b>Software Ctrl Mode</b>Use this mode to control the RAID configuration from your NAS or computer<b>Flexible storage configuration and management</b>Compared with other RAID enclosures, the TR-002 provides software-controlled configurations for greater management flexibility. Users can configure RAID and monitor disk health using Storage & Snapshots Manager on a QNAP NAS, or by using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility on their computer.Use Storage & Snapshots Manager to configure the TR-002 as a storage expansion unit for your QNAP NAS. In addition to RAID configuration, the NAS expansion storage mode supports various NAS functions, including storage pools and snapshots. By...
