Plug and use, seamless capacity expansion
Simply connect a REXP-1200U-RP to a Turbo NAS* and power it on. The Turbo NAS will detect the hard drives in the REXP-1200U-RP as newly installed local drives. The Turbo NAS capacity can be expanded seamlessly by using the powerful QTS Storage Manager.
* QTS 4.0.4 or newer is required for the Turbo NAS.
Missing mode protection
When the disconnection of a RAID expansion enclosure is detected, the Turbo NAS blocks IO access to protect data. The system can recover from the missing mode to the normal state with data staying intact.
High density, high efficiency and highly scalable
The REXP-1200U-RP supports 12 hard drives and 48TB raw capacity in 2U rack space. The REXP-1200U-RP has two SAS wide ports (IN port and OUT port) for host connectivity and daisy-chain respectively. Each SAS wide port combines four SAS channels(maximum 8 SAS channels supported per expansion enclosure). The solution delivers unprecedented performance of up to 24Gbps per host connection.
Powerful QTS Storage Manager
The QTS Storage Manager neatly presents tools and options for managing system storage with an intuitive graphical user interface, which simplifies the process of NAS capacity expansion and REXP-1200U-RP management. IT administrators can easily monitor the health status of REXP-1200U-RP and the disks within it. When cascading multiple expansion enclosures in a rack, the Locate Disk and Locate Enclosure functions assist IT administrators for quick maintenance.
An excellent backup solution for the Turbo NAS
In addition to expanding an existing volume, IT administrator can use the REXP-1200U-RP as a budget-friendly external storage to perform speedy and secure backup tasks for the Turbo NAS. The QNAP RTRR (Real-Time Remote Replication) or rsync service lets IT administrator back up the Turbo NAS data to the REXP-1200U-RP on a real time or scheduled basis.
Flexible drive type and capacity
The REXP-1200U-RP offers high flexibility in hard drive selection. IT administrators can choose enterprise-level SAS hard drives with high performance and high reliability for mission critical application, low-cost but high-capacity SATA hard drives for large data archiving, or high-speed and high stability SSD for I/O intensive operations. Just make the best use of each drive.

High Performance Capacity Expansion for Turbo NAS
The QNAP RAID Expansion Enclosure is designed to provide a high-density, high-efficiency, and high-scalability storage expansion solution for the QNAP Turbo NAS*. With the plug-and-use design, the RAID Expansion Enclosure delivers a fast way to easily scale up storage capacity of the Turbo NAS. Multiple RAID Expansion Enclosures can be cascaded via the high speed SAS interface to provide over 400TB raw capacity. Coupled with the well designed software and intuitive user interface, the RAID Expansion Enclosure offers a seamless way for capacity expansion. Whenever short on storage, plug in a RAID Expansion Enclosure to the QNAP Turbo NAS, and expand its capacity right away.
Highlights
- Plug and use, seamless capacity expansion
- Backup storage for the Turbo NAS
- High density, high efficiency, high scalability
- Supports SAS/SATA 6Gbps hard drives and SSD
- SAS drives for high performance and high reliability
- SATA drives for low-cost and high-capacity applications
- SSD for I/O intensive operations
Plug and use, seamless capacity expansion
Simply connect a RAID Expansion Enclosure to a Turbo NAS and power it on, the Turbo NAS will detect the hard drives in the Enclosure as newly installed local drives. With the disk management software provided by the Turbo NAS, the IT administrators can easily expand an existing volume on the NAS. Multiple RAID Expansion Enclosures can also be cascaded to provide massive capacity. The status and health of the Enclosures can be monitored via the web-based management interface of the Turbo NAS.
High density, high efficiency and high scalability
Two RAID Expansion Enclosure models are available. The REXP-1200U-RP supports 12 SAS/SATA 6Gbps hard drives and SSD in 2U rack space, providing up to 36TB raw capacity. The REXP-1200U-RP supports 16 hard drives and 48TB raw capacity in 3U rack space. These RAID Expansion Enclosure units have two SAS wide ports (IN port and OUT port) for host connectivity and daisy chain respectively. Each SAS wide port combines four SAS channels, with each supporting 6Gbps full duplex speed. The maximum bandwidth per host connection is 24Gbps, which delivers unprecedented performance when daisy-chaining multiple RAID Expansion Enclosures.
Backup storage for Turbo NAS
In addition to expanding an existing volume, the RAID Expansion Enclosure can also be used to host an independent volume. It is an excellent solution for backing up the Turbo NAS. Simply configure the RAID Expansion Enclosure as an independent volume, and start backing up data from the Turbo NAS through blazing fast SAS connection.
Flexible drive type and capacity
The RAID Expansion Enclosure offers flexibility in drive choices which include low-cost, high-capacity SATA hard drives for data archiving, enterprise-level SAS hard drives for mission critical applications, and solid-state drives (SSD) for I/O intensive operations.
Application Scenarios
Expand existing local volume
When being lack of volume capacity, use the RAID Expansion Enclosure to expand the Turbo NAS capacity. Simply connect the RAID Expansion Enclosure to the storage expansion port on the Turbo NAS and more available hard drives will appear instantly in the NAS. The volume management feature provided by the Turbo NAS allows the IT administrator to create a scalable volume. Wide port SAS connections provide 24Gbps connectivity between hosts and ensure the system performance.
Backup to the RAID Expansion Enclosure
Create an independent volume on the RAID Expansion Enclosure and use the backup features provided by the Turbo NAS such as RTRR, rsync, or iSCSI LUN backup to back up the Turbo NAS data to the Enclosure. Data is backed up to an independent file system and device, and therefore protected from file system corruptions as well as hardware failures of the original Turbo NAS. Compared with backing up to another Turbo NAS via network, backing up to the RAID Expansion Enclosure offers a relatively higher transfer rate at a lower cost. Backing up to the RAID Expansion Enclosure offers redundancy, speed, and flexibility at an affordable cost.

Qsync
Synchronize files anytime, anywhere
Qsync is a useful tool to synchronize files in multiple computers. It creates a specific “Qsync folder” in your devices that you can simply drop files in, and synchronizes the files to all your devices linked to the Turbo NAS.
Sync in multiple ways
Full Sync
Whenever you add, edit, delete or rename a file on one computer, the change applies to all others linked with the Turbo NAS, so you have exactly identical contents on all your devices.
Smart Sync
It allows you to remove files on one computer without affecting the copies stored on others that are linked with the Turbo NAS. However, when someone updates the files you deleted from another computer, you can still retrieve them in the Qsync folder.
Advanced Selective Sync
With both Full Sync or Smart Sync options, you can choose to only sync specific sub-folders within the Qsync folder, useful if your computers have limited storage.
Share files and folders easily
Quickly share files with download links
You can create download links to share files with people, even if they don't have an account on the Turbo NAS. This greatly reduces the time in creating user account and password for users.
Share folders for collaboration
Your life is connected with different groups of people. You can create sub-folders within the Qsync folder, and share each with different groups of Turbo NAS users as a file exchange center. Everyone in the same sub-folder is always kept up-to-date with the latest version of the files.
QNAP NetBak Replicator
Backup data on PC
The QNAP NetBak Replicator, provided with any Turbo NAS unit free of charge, helps you easily back up files from Windows PC - entire disk drives, documents, pictures, music, videos, fonts, emails, and more - to the Turbo NAS. The operation is very simple. You can do the backup task in just a few clicks using NetBak Replicator by the setting of real-time synchronization, scheduled backup and auto-backup from multiple PCs to the Turbo NAS.
NetBak Replicator also supports backing up to a remote server via FTP and WebDAV through the Internet. Imagine that you can backup new photos whenever on vacation. Even you are away from home, the convenient backup supports your memories.
QGet
Download Station monitor widget
QGet is a powerful utility for download management. The software is available for Windows and Mac computers, allowing the management of BT, HTTP, and FTP download tasks of Download Station on multiple Turbo NAS servers.
