PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 & 2.5GbE card

The Qnap QM2-2P2G2T installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot and adds two M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots plus dual 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports. Each M.2 slot operates at PCIe Gen3 x2 speed. Both Intel I225-LM controllers share the same four-lane link. Low-profile and full-height brackets are included.

NAS upgrades and compact servers

This card suits Qnap NAS owners who want faster networking and local SSD caching in one slot. Builders of small-form-factor PCs gain two high-speed drive bays and multi-gigabit Ethernet without using extra expansion slots. It is not for systems that lack a free PCIe 3.0 x4 connection or that require more than two M.2 drives.

Single PCIe 3.0 x4 host link

All four M.2 lanes and both 2.5GbE controllers share one upstream PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. Total bandwidth is limited to that four-lane Gen3 ceiling, so simultaneous peak SSD and network traffic will contend for the same link. Verify the host platform provides an open x4 slot wired for Gen3 before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Do I need a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot on my motherboard for this card to work?

Yes, the card requires a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot to provide both the dual M.2 NVMe slots and the two 2.5GbE network ports.

Will the Intel I225-LM 2.5GbE ports negotiate down to 1 GbE if my existing switch only supports Gigabit?

Yes, the 2.5GbE ports are backward compatible and will automatically negotiate to 1 GbE over CAT-5e cabling when connected to a Gigabit switch.

How can I confirm both M.2 NVMe SSDs are recognised after installation?

Check the system BIOS or operating system disk management; both drives should appear as separate NVMe devices when seated in the two M.2 2280 slots.
