Video: Function
The QDA-A2MAR can hold two M.2 SATA SSDs in one 2.5 ?bay for SATA drives. No software driver is required for QDA-A2MAR and can be installed on a computer/workstation (Windows?, Linux?) or QNAP NAS to flexibly add high-performance M.2 SATA SSDs with RAID configurations for different storage needs . Use two M.2 2280 SATA SSDs in one 2.5 ?drive bay. (M.2 SSD sold separately) File transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps. This may be the primary bootable device for computers. Choose a RAID hardware group with a disk mode switch. The QDA-A2MAR supports various RAID configurations. Depending on your requirements, you can use the included metal switch as a disk mode switching tool to select the ideal RAID mode: Individual, JBOD, RAID 0, or RAID 1. Windows? users can use QNAP External RAID Manager to view RAID group status and information about disc health. When using two M.2 SSDs instead of a single 2.5 ?drive on a computer/workstation (Windows? or Linux?), you can create RAID 0 for enhanced performance or RAID 1 for adding data redundancy for greater data protection. The M.2 SSD also enables maximum performance and lower latency, making it ideal for hot-video editing and server applications. QNAP External RAID Manager allows Windows? users to view the disk status and QDA-A2MAR RAID information. You can also manage the firmware updates for QDA-A2MAR using External RAID Manager. The QDA-A2MAR supports hardware RAID that does not consume CPU repsus to maintain optimal NAS performance. You can install one or more QDA-A2MARs in a NAS to maximize the use of available 2.5 ?disk drive bays. The QDA-A2MAR can include two M.2 SSDs that allow you to create an SSD volume for performance-intensive workflows or work in an efficient Qtier staged storage environment. It can also improve IOPS performance if the SSD cache is configured. The RAID and disk health information of the QDA-A2MAR can be monitored through the Storage and QTS Snapshot Manager.
