QNAP QM2-2P10G1TB Low-profile Expansion Card - PCIe 3.0, 2x M.2 NVMe SSD & 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45, Silver

The QNAP QM2-2P10G1TB is a low-profile expansion card that combines storage and networking upgrades. Using a PCIe 3.0 interface, it provides two M.2 NVMe SSD slots and one 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. This allows for SSD caching or additional storage without occupying standard 2.5-inch drive bays. By consolidating these features onto a single card, it is suitable for systems with limited expansion slots, helping to reduce I/O bottlenecks in data-intensive tasks such as media production.

The card’s low-profile form factor is compatible with compact workstations and small form factor server chassis. It requires an available PCIe slot and draws power directly from the motherboard. To achieve full data transfer speeds, the host system must support the PCIe 3.0 x4 standard or higher. The card is designed for internal installation in PCs and compatible storage systems, where maintenance and monitoring are handled via system software. The physical design is intended to facilitate airflow around the components during operation.
