On supported QNAP NAS systems, Storage \u0026amp; Snapshots manages the enclosure's drives and independent storage pool. This pool cannot be merged into the NAS's internal pool, and system applications remain on the NAS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUSB4 Is More than a Type-C Connector\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA USB-C socket alone does not establish compatibility. Use a verified USB4 or supported Thunderbolt 4 connection; USB 3 and earlier ports are unsupported. Many listed NAS models require the optional QXP-40G2UC PCIe host card and, on some models, a minimum BIOS version. The host, drives, RAID layout and cable determine real transfer performance. Connect directly and use a suitable cable no longer than 1M as recommended by QNAP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlan the Drives and RAID Together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bays accept supported 3.5-inch SATA HDDs and 2.5-inch SATA SSDs. Keep HDDs and SSDs in separate RAID groups. RAID is managed by the connected NAS or host software; this is a JBOD expansion enclosure rather than a standalone network NAS or a hardware RAID controller. Maintain an independent backup of important data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMatch the Host and Software\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupported QNAP deployment requires QTS 5.2.x or later, or QuTS hero 5.2.8 or later. For direct computer use, QNAP lists Windows 11 or later and Ubuntu 22.04 or later with suitable host hardware. Follow the installation guide's power-on and shutdown sequence. Existing enclosure migration is restricted to supported TL USB series JBOD paths; do not assume another enclosure or operating system can adopt the disks unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild a Serviceable Rack Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optional RAIL-B02 kit supports installation in a suitable 19-inch ANSI\/EIA-RS-310-D rack. Check the rack dimensions and allow clearance for connections and the protruding power supplies. Dual power modules reduce exposure to a single supply fault, while the connected host remains responsible for the storage services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupported QNAP hosts include the following models. Match the exact NAS configuration, available PCIe slot, required host card, BIOS and operating-system version before ordering. These models support up to two of this enclosure under QNAP's compatibility matrix; the correct connection is required for each unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTS-1273AU-RP · TS-1673AU-RP · TS-873A · TS-673A · TS-473A · TS-262 · TS-462 · TS-264\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTS-464 · TS-664 · TS-464U-RP · TS-464U · TS-1264U-RP · TS-864eU-RP · TS-864eU · TS-873AeU-RP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTVS-h474 · TVS-h674 · TVS-h874 · TVS-h874X · TVS-h674T · TVS-h874T · TS-1655 · TS-855eU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTS-855eU-RP · TS-855X · TS-h1655XeU-RP · TS-h1065eU · TS-h1065eU-RP · TS-h665U · TS-h665U-RP · TS-h1465U-RP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTS-h1073BXeU · TS-h1073BXeU-RP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TL-R1210TC4-RP is a direct-attached expansion option for buyers who have a compatible USB4 host and want more drive bays without changing their primary storage platform.
