QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in computing, networking, and storage solutions, today introduced industry-leading high-capacity JBOD expansion units featuring USB 4 connectivity: the 8-bay desktop TL-D810TC4 and 12-bay rackmount TL-R1210TC4-RP, delivering up to 40Gbps theoretical bandwidth. Their USB 4 Type-C ports are also compatible with Thunderbolt™ 5/4/3, giving creators and businesses a convenient, cost-efficient, and flexible way to expand storage.

The new USB 4 JBOD series supports SATA 6Gb/s HDDs and SSDs, allowing users to flexibly expand their NAS or computer storage based on their environment and workflow needs. This enables rapid capacity expansion and enhanced data protection. Its optimized ventilation and active cooling ensure stable performance and long-term reliability during extended operation. Whether for short-term projects, media creators requiring high-speed expansion, or businesses focused on long-term archiving and scheduled backups, the QNAP USB 4 JBOD series delivers a dependable and flexible storage expansion solution.

QNAP also introduces the QXP-40G2UC Dual-port USB 4 Type-C PCIe expansion card designed for Intel®- and AMD-based NAS, enabling users to add USB 4 connectivity to their NAS, and easily connect to USB 4 JBOD units for high-speed data transfer and capacity expansion. Supported models are subject to the QNAP Compatibility List.

“Most USB 4 expansion products on the market are small SSD enclosures that cannot meet large-capacity storage or mid-to-long-term expansion needs,” said Eddie Chuang, Product Manager of QNAP. “QNAP’s USB 4 JBOD lineup breaks these limitations by enabling laptops, workstations, and NAS users to expand storage while maintaining convenience, high speed, and stability. It is a cost-effective solution for both creators and business users who require scalable high-capacity storage.”
