Dual M.2 NVMe and 10GbE card

This PCIe expansion card adds two M.2 2280 NVMe slots and a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet port to compatible QNAP NAS units. It connects through a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface and includes a heatsink with smart fan cooling for the installed drives.

NAS owners adding cache and speed

The card suits administrators who want to accelerate storage pools with SSD caching or create high-speed network links using 10GbE. It is not for desktop PC builders, servers without a compatible QNAP chassis, or environments that require more than one network port.

PCIe 3.0 x8 host requirement

The card operates over a PCIe 3.0 x8 connection, so the host system must provide a slot with at least that lane width and generation. Without a compatible slot the M.2 drives and 10GbE port will not function.

Questions about this item

Will this card fit in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot on my existing motherboard?

Yes, the QM2 host controller uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, so it installs directly into a compatible x8 or x16 slot on your current board.

How can I confirm the NVMe drives and 10GbE port are operating correctly after installation?

LED status indicators on the card show M.2 storage activity, while the OS and QNAP utility report drive health, cache status and 10 Gigabit Ethernet link speed.

Does the package include the M.2 NVMe SSDs or only the card with heatsink and fan?

The box contains the expansion card with its integrated heatsink and smart fan cooling module; the two M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs must be purchased separately.
