QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking and storage solution innovator, today launched the QM2-2P410G1T and QM2-2P410G2T PCIe Gen 4 Cards; and the QM2-2P10G1TB PCIe Gen 3 Card. All three PCIe cards allow adding M.2 NVMe SSD slots and 10GbE connectivity to a QNAP NAS or PC/server/workstation, with no driver installation required. NAS users can improve overall NAS performance by enabling SSD caching, and upgrade NAS storage capacity without occupying any 3.5-inch drive bays. PC/server/workstation users can increase their storage capacity while also boosting overall IOPS performance by offloading bandwidth-demanding tasks to SSDs to minimize application loading times.

“The QM2-2P410GxT series and the QM2-2P10G1TB cards are new members of QNAP’s popular QM2 expansion card product line, which provides a competitive, budget-friendly storage expansion solution for both QNAP NAS users and PC/workstation users,” said Stanley Huang, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “The new QM2-2P410GXT series features Broadcom PCIe Gen 4 switch with PCIe 4.0 support and is ideal for handling resource-demanding applications, such as online 4K/8K video-editing and gaming. The QM2-2P10G1TB serves as a power-efficient and comprehensive solution to boost home/office productivity.”
