Mode 1: Expand NAS Capacity with Storage Pool Mode
You can use Storage & Snapshots Manager in QTS or QuTS hero to configure the RAID storage pool for your TL-D1600S and expand NAS capacity. The TL-D1600S can only be used as an individual storage pool or volume on the NAS. Its storage pool or volume cannot be combined into the connected NAS. NAS applications cannot be installed on the TL-D1600S .
Mode 2: Expand Your NAS with External Storage Mode

For example, it will show 8 independent external disks on an 8-bay NAS.The TL-D1600S supports multiple disk formats, including NTFS (for Windows), HFS+ (for Mac), EXT4 (for Ubuntu or QNAP NAS), exFAT (for Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, and QNAP NAS) etc.
Scenario 3
Expand the Storage Space of Your Windows and Ubuntu Computers
You can use your TL-D1600S to expand the storage space of Windows and Ubuntu computers. You can set up the RAID configuration of your TL-D400S to further secure data. You can also use the single disk mode and format with exFAT file system for more convenient access and sharing of files between Windows and Ubuntu computers.
Mode 1: RAID Configuration Mode
You can obtain data protection by building a software RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5 volume with the native utility in your Windows and Ubuntu computers, and use the QNAP JBOD Manager to monitor the TL-D1600S status information.
