- Interface Conversion: Converts a 2.5-inch SATA 6Gbps HDD/SSD for use in a SAS 12Gbps/6Gbps drive bay.
- Designed For: Specifically built for QNAP’s dual-controller all-flash Enterprise ZFS NAS, especially the ES2486dc model.
- SAS Dual-Port Advantage for higher reliability: Even though SATA drives are single-port, this adapter allows them to benefit from SAS dual-port redundancy, enhancing fault tolerance and reliability.
- Transfer Speeds: Supports up to 6Gb/s throughput, which is the maximum for SATA III.
- Form Factor: Fits into a 2.5-inch disk tray (model TRAY-25-NK-BLK04).
- Packaged in Sets: Sold in packs of four (QDA-SA3-4PCS)
SAS dual-port advantage for fault tolerance
SAS features dual porting for redundancy, eliminating single points of failure and allowing for higher reliability and performance. By installing a SATA drive with the QDA-SA3 into a dual-controller all-flash Enterprise ZFS NAS, the SATA drive can share these SAS dual-port advantages to ensure a high-availability, fault tolerant enterprise storage environment.
Designed for all-flash Enterprise ZFS NAS
The QDA-SA3 can be easily installed in the 2.5-inch disk tray of an all-flash array Enterprise ZFS NAS (ES2486dc disk tray model: ).
Note: QDA-SA3 does not support SSD TRIM and the drive S.M.A.R.T. feature is not supported on non-QES operating system.
Limitations
- No SSD TRIM Support: TRIM commands are not supported, which may affect long-term SSD performance.
- S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring: Drive health monitoring via S.M.A.R.T. is not supported on non-QES operating systems.
