QNAP QM2-2S10G1T - Network and storage expansion card, Black, Brown, Stainless steel

The QNAP QM2-2S10G1T expansion card adds two M.2 SATA SSD slots and a 10GbE (10GBASE-T) port to supported TS-x53B NAS units. It supports SSD caching to accelerate random I/O operations and provides high-speed connectivity for tasks such as virtualization and large-scale backups. This setup allows the NAS to manage more concurrent data requests without creating a network bottleneck, while also enabling tiered storage for faster access to frequently used files.

This card is specifically designed for the TS-x53B series. It combines storage and networking on a single board, which is useful for compact NAS models with limited PCIe expansion slots. Using a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface, the card ensures there is sufficient bandwidth to support both the SSDs and the 10GbE port without throttling performance.

• 10GbE connection: Provides a 10,000 Mbit/s link via a single RJ-45 port.
• Dual M.2 slots: Supports two independent SSDs for storage acceleration.
• 22110 and 2280 support: Accommodates both standard and extended-length SATA M.2 modules.
• PCIe 2.0 x4 interface: Uses four lanes of bandwidth to handle simultaneous storage and network traffic.
• SATA drive interface: Designed specifically for M.2 SATA storage (not compatible with NVMe modules).
• Construction: Features a combination of black, brown, and stainless steel components.
