Equipped with SATA 6Gb/s hard drive slots, ensuring reliable continuous read performance for smooth and fast operations.
Supports UASP
Supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), which significantly improves transfer speeds and reduces data delay and wait times.
High Stability with redundant power supply
Provides 250W stable power, with dual power modules ensuring uninterrupted service and system stability.
Host-based power management
When the main device powers on or off, JBOD automatically synchronizes, improving system stability and reducing operational risks.
Features:
USB 4 Type-C connectivity delivers even faster read performance!
TL-R1210TC4-RP is equipped with a USB 4 Type-C port, supporting 40Gbps high-speed transfer, allowing fast large-file transfers via the USB interface, offering wider application, higher efficiency, and greater convenience. Coupled with the built-in UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), it significantly boosts transfer speeds, reducing data delays and wait times.
Note: To utilize UASP, your computer and OS must support it.

More Space for Your NAS
With QNAP NAS's Storage & Snapshots Manager, you can easily set up independent RAID groups, create storage pools, monitor S.M.A.R.T. status, and configure notifications to keep track of your hard drive health.
1. Create an Independent Storage Pool
Using QNAP software RAID, you can create an independent storage pool in TL-R1210TC4-RP, supporting RAID migration and disk replacement. Enjoy the same management experience as your NAS's main storage pool.
Note: TL-R1210TC4-RP can only be used as an independent storage pool or disk area. It cannot be merged with the NAS's main storage pool or disk area, and system applications can only be installed on the NAS itself.
2. Set as External Disk Mode
Alternatively, use it as an independent storage box (each hard drive is seen as an independent space), providing additional storage space for quick transfer or short-term backup needs, improving efficiency and data security.
Dual USB 4 Expansion Card for Greater Flexibility in NAS Expansion
Install the QXP-40G2UC expansion card on your NAS and instantly add two USB 4 Type-C ports with speeds up to 40Gbps, upgrading your storage performance across the board.
Expand Your NAS, Flexible and Efficient
USB 4 JBOD can be directly connected to a QNAP NAS TS-h1277AXU-RP installing the USB 4 card without complicated network setup—just plug and play to expand storage capacity. It supports high-speed transfers and hot-swapping, making it an ideal choice for enhancing NAS storage flexibility.
Expand for Your Windows® Computers
Build a Large-Capacity Dedicated Database
Whether it's large files, 4K videos, or work materials, you can easily store them, freeing up space on your local storage.
1. Software RAID Setup:
Use the built-in tools in your system (e.g., Windows® Storage Spaces) to combine multiple hard drives into a software RAID, improving data security or read/write performance as needed.
Note: Due to platform incompatibilities, once configured in software RAID mode, the storage cannot be used across different platforms.
2. Single Disk Mode:
Each hard drive can be read and written independently, like a large multi-bay hard drive system. When one disk is full, you can remove it and replace it with a new one. You can also reinsert a disk with existing data to access its contents, ideal for large data batch storage and archiving.
Monitor JBOD Status Anytime
Windows® PC users can monitor or set up the system and disk status of TL-R1210TC4-RP via QNAP JBOD Manager, including checking device health, fan speed. The system will record all events within the device, and when an abnormal condition occurs, real-time desktop notifications will be provided to keep you informed.
- Windows users can easily manage TL-R1210TC4-RP with the latest JBOD Manager v1.3.
- Linux users can easily manage TL-R1210TC4-RP with the latest JBOD Manager v1.1.
Too Time-Consuming for Remote Transfers? Just Ship the Entire Data!
When transferring large files or a single large dataset, network transfers can be time-consuming and bandwidth-heavy, often taking days to complete and impacting productivity. With TL-R1210TC4-RP, you can perform remote data migration by simply installing the hard drives, setting up a software RAID, and then shipping the entire unit to the target location. Once connected to a NAS or PC, it’s plug-and-play, enabling rapid large-file migration.
Note: If a software RAID is configured, TL-R1210TC4-RP data migration only supports use on another host with the same system.
Reliable Redundancy for Your Server Room
TL-R1210TC4-RP uses a metal enclosure, effective cooling, and a redundant power design. Even when operating at maximum load it maintains stable and reliable performance, ensuring enterprise-critical data is fully protected.
Extend hardware warranty up to 5 years
The TL-R1210TC4-RP is backed by a 3-year warranty at no additional cost.
You can also purchase a warranty extension that extends your warranty coverage up to 5 years.
