QNAP QM2-2P-384A tarjetas/adaptadores de interfaz internos M.2 PCIe 3.0 32 Gbit/s

Add two M.2 NVMe SSDs to your NAS with a PCIe 3.0 expansion card. The card supports PCIe Gen 3 x4 to deliver high transfer speeds and does not require additional drivers or software. It supports SSD caching, creating an SSD volume, or Qtier auto-tiering to improve overall NAS performance. The module includes an efficient cooling solution and tool-less installation for quick and convenient drive mounting.

Advantages

The PCIe 3.0 interface provides up to 32 Gbps transfer bandwidth for NVMe SSDs. Ready-to-use design eliminates the need for extra drivers or software. SSD caching and Qtier support allow optimization for IOPS-intensive applications and better storage utilization. The tool-less design simplifies M.2 SSD installation, while LED indicators and thermal sensors enable real-time monitoring of drive status and temperature. A quiet cooling module (heatsink and smart fan) maintains SSD performance under load.

Key specifications

• Form factor: PCIe 3.0 expansion card
• M.2 slots: 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD
• PCIe lane: Gen 3 x4 (per slot)
• Transfer speed: up to 32 Gbps (PCIe 3.0 x4)
• Cooling: heatsink with smart fan
• Installation: tool-less, screw-less locking mechanism
• Monitoring: LED indicators and thermal sensors
• Supported features: SSD caching, SSD volume, Qtier auto-tiering

How to use

Install the expansion card into a compatible PCIe slot on your NAS, then insert up to two M.2 NVMe SSDs into the card’s M.2 slots using the tool-less locking mechanism. No additional drivers or software are required. Configure SSD caching, create an SSD volume, or enable Qtier in your NAS management interface to optimize performance and storage utilization. Monitor drive status and temperatures using the built-in LED indicators and thermal sensors, and rely on the cooling module to keep SSDs at stable operating temperatures.

Recommendations

Use high-quality NVMe SSDs that match your NAS and workload requirements, enable SSD caching for IOPS-intensive tasks such as virtual machines or databases, and consider RAID configurations for SSD volumes to increase data protection. Ensure the NAS firmware supports PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards and monitor SSD temperatures during sustained workloads.
