💾 QNAP TL-R1200S-RP 12 Bay 2U Rackmount SATA 6Gbps JBOD Storage Enclosure with Redundant Power Supply + PCIe SATA Interface Card (QXP-1600eS) Review

The main variable speed fans work fine (you can't hear them), but the PSU contains a tiny non-adjustable fan screamer that causes this Device turns out completely unusable indoors where you want to work comfortably. The specification of 24 dB is a lie. The actually measured noise level is 44 dB with an uncomfortably high tone.

I have a TS-1677x and it is listed as compatible on their website. TS-1677x does not recognize an expansion box and after 3 months of Qnap support I had to return it without repairing it. It worked great when connected to Windows. So if that's what you're looking for, it seems like a great device.

I contacted QNAP customer support for the first time 14 days ago, but they still could not provide suitable drivers. The heart of the HBA card is the Marvell chip; I couldn't find any (Windows or…

has no drivers, no instructions how to work in win or ubuntu. The manual has a link to the drivers which doesn't go anywhere leading to the sas card being completely unusable

I've had it for about a month now and so far the speed is good. I can't comment on other people's reviews, but I'm using this as my second QNAP NAS expansion and setup was a breeze. So I migrated my existing drives to this one and upgraded it with 12TB drives (HD prices have skyrocketed so I couldn't get 16TB drives). The biggest point of criticism is the fan noise!
