Expansion capacity

The Qnap TL-D1600S-US is a 16-bay desktop JBOD expansion unit designed for NAS owners who have exhausted the internal drive slots of a compatible host system. It accepts up to sixteen 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs in a diskless configuration, delivering a raw ceiling of 288TB when fully populated.

Build and connectivity

The chassis houses a 250W power supply rated for 100-240V input and draws a typical 93.66W with every bay occupied. Four SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 cables link the included QXP-1600eS PCIe host card to the enclosure, providing twelve-gigabit SATA and SAS pathways that support hot-swap drive maintenance without powering down the host.

Upgrade path

This unit replaces ad-hoc external drive arrays or smaller expansion shelves when a single manageable volume is required across sixteen spindles. The jump is justified when the host NAS has a free PCIe slot for the supplied card and the workload benefits from consolidated JBOD capacity rather than distributed smaller enclosures.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s link cap at?

The four external cables carry SAS/SATA at 6 Gb/s per lane, so each drive tops out at the SATA 6 Gb/s interface limit.

What drive sizes and form factors fit the 16 bays?

The chassis accepts sixteen 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs in its hot-swap trays.

How is the QXP-1600eS host card installed and what step is often missed?

Seat the QXP-1600eS PCIe SATA host card in an open PCIe slot, attach the four SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 cables, then install drives; the step often missed is connecting all four cables to enable every bay.
