QNAP QM2-4P-384 Tarjetas adaptadoras/interfaces Interna PCIe

The QNAP QM2-4P-384 is a PCIe expansion card that enables adding M.2 SSDs to a PC or workstation to increase storage capacity and improve IOPS and data access speeds. Using a PCIe interface rather than SATA provides higher bandwidth for faster computing and reduced application loading times. The card follows the PCIe 3.0 standard, includes an active cooling system with a fan, and requires no extra drivers for operation.

Advantages

The QM2-4P-384 delivers higher bandwidth and lower latency compared with SATA-based solutions by leveraging PCIe connectivity. Its active cooling and single-fan design help maintain optimal SSD performance under sustained load. Installation does not require additional drivers, and the card does not occupy 3.5-inch drive bays, allowing you to expand capacity without sacrificing existing drive slots.

Suitable for

• Workstations requiring increased IOPS for demanding applications
• PCs used for video editing and content creation
• Gaming systems needing faster storage access
• Linux and Windows systems where additional M.2 storage is required

How to use

Power off the PC or workstation and insert the QM2-4P-384 into a compatible PCIe slot on the motherboard. Secure the card, install one or more M.2 SSDs into the card’s M.2 slots following the manufacturer’s instructions, connect any required power if applicable, and replace the system cover. Power on the system; the card should be recognized by Windows or Linux without installing additional drivers. Configure the newly attached SSDs in the operating system or storage management software as needed.

Recommendations

Install the card in a PCIe 3.0 x4 (or higher) slot for optimal performance, ensure adequate case airflow to support the card’s active cooling, and use high-quality M.2 SSDs appropriate for your workload to realize improved IOPS and reduced application load times.
