The TL-D400S features SFF-8088 (or SFF-8644) connectivity and multiple SATA 6Gb/s bays. This provides better sequential read performance and faster data transfer speeds than existing USB and eSATA expansion enclosures, while also being a more economical option compared to a QNAP REXP SAS enclosure.
Scenario 1
Expand Your NAS Capacity
The TL-D400S provides an alternative method for users to expand their NAS storage capacity. By connecting the TL-D800S to their NAS and using Storage & Snapshots Manager in QTS or QuTS hero, users can easily configure and manage their storage expansion. The TL-D400S supports a variety of QNAP NAS storage and file management functions, allowing users to build storage pools, finding files with Qsirch, and organizing files with Qfiling.
Scenario 2
Use as External Storage for Your NAS
You can use the TL-D400S to expand your NAS storage. You can select disks to create storage pools for expanding your NAS capacity, or you can treat each disk as an individual external storage space and use it as a removable drive for greater flexibility. Regardless of the mode you use, you can always use Storage & Snapshots Manager in QTS or QuTS hero to set up and manage your TL-D400S and use hard drive S.M.A.R.T and Notification Center to check disk status anytime and anywhere.
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-D400S and expand NAS capacity. The TL-D400S 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-D400S .
Mode 2: Expand Your NAS with External Storage Mode
You can treat each disk on your TL-D400S as an individual storage space and expand your NAS capacity. For example, it will show 8 independent external disks on an 8-bay NAS.The TL-D400S 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-D400S 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-D400S status information.
Mode 2: Single Disk Mode
You can format hard drives with the exFAT file system while accessing and sharing files between Windows and Ubuntu computers. Your QNAP NAS can also use the exFAT file system by buying the exFAT driver license from the QNAP Software Store.
Scenario 4:
Add Third-Party Hardware RAID Card for Advanced Protection
You can install third-party hardware RAID cards on your TL-D400S for advanced hardware RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60 protection and use Windows utility software to manage your TL-D400S .
Improved Performance
The TL-D400S features SFF-8088 (or SFF-8644) connectivity and multiple SATA III 6 Gb/s bays. This provides improved sequential read performance and faster data transfer speeds than existing USB and eSATA expansion enclosures, while also being a more economical option than a QNAP REXP SAS enclosure.
