The TR-004 USB 3.0 RAID
expansion enclosure allows you to expand the capacity of your QNAP NAS
and PC.
The TR-004 can also be
utilized as a DAS (Direct-attached Storage) device, allowing you to
directly access its content just by connecting it via USB. The TR-004
features four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with multiple RAID configuration
options and USB 3.0 Type-C connectivity to bring you a highly reliable
and secure storage capacity expansion solution.
Effective storage
expansion with RAID Support
The TR-004 is an ideal
storage expansion solution for PCs, especially for laptops which lack
the ability to install larger, higher-capacity drives. Featuring four
3.5-inch SATA drive bays and supporting RAID configuration, the TR-004
provides the ability to store a vast number of files and data and to
ensure protection against potential drive failure.
Supports various RAID
levels
The TR-004 supports a
variety of RAID configurations. Depending on your requirements, you can
switch between hardware- or software-controlled RAID modes. Move the DIP
switches to corresponding positions for your ideal RAID mode:
Individual, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1/10 or RAID 5. You can also configure
the RAID settings from your QNAP NAS, or by using the QNAP External RAID
Manager utility on your computer.
Flexible storage
configuration and management
Compared with other RAID
enclosures, the TR-004 provides software-controlled configurations for
greater management flexibility. Users can configure RAID and monitor
disk health using Storage & Snapshots Manager on a QNAP NAS, or by using
the QNAP External RAID Manager utility on their computer.
Scenario 1: Expand the
capacity of your NAS
The TR-004 provides an
alternative method for users to expand their NAS storage capacity. By
connecting the TR-004 to their NAS and using the Storage & Snapshots
Manager, users can easily configure and manage their storage expansion.
The TR-004 supports a variety of QNAP NAS storage and file management
functions, allowing users to build storage pools, find files with Qsirch
and organize files with Qfiling.
Use the TR-004 as an
alternative to conventional NAS expansion enclosures
As an external hardware
RAID device, the TR-004 operates independently and does not require
additional NAS system resources. When compared with the UX-500P
expansion enclosure, the TR-004 uses less NAS system resources.
Scenario 2: External
storage for your NAS
Instead of using the
TR-004 to expand the capacity of your QNAP NAS, you can use it as a
complimentary storage unit for backing up or moving data. It also allows
you to physically migrate huge data collections that would require
significant network bandwidth. While connected to the NAS, you can
monitor the health and status of the TR-004 by using the Storage &
Snapshots Manager on the NAS.
Scenario 3: Expand the
storage space of your computer
The TR-004 can quickly add
storage space to your computer. You can use the DIP switch to configure
a hardware RAID mode or manage it by using the QNAP External RAID
Manager utility. The health and status of the TR-004 can also be
monitored by using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility.
Scenario 4:
Cross-platform file sharing
From your NAS to Windows,
Mac, and Linux computers, the TR-004 is compatible with a wide range of
devices.
This makes it ideal for
quickly moving large files between different devices. The TR-004 is even
compatible with devices that use the exFAT file system*, adding further
convenience for accessing and sharing files from a wider range of
devices.
* To access devices that
use the exFAT file system, users must purchase a separate exFAT driver
license.
