QNAP QM2-4P-384 Quad M.2 PCIe SSD Expansion Card

The QNAP QM2-4P-384 is a PCIe expansion card that allows you to install up to four M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs into a single PCIe slot, making it an efficient way to add high-speed SSD storage or caching capability to compatible QNAP NAS units or standard PCs. The card connects to the host system through a PCIe Gen3 x8 interface, distributing bandwidth across four M.2 slots, each running at PCIe Gen3 x2. This architecture provides strong aggregate throughput while keeping the card's physical footprint compact.

Flexibility is built into the design with three included bracket options: a pre-installed low-profile bracket, a low-profile flat bracket, and a full-height bracket. This ensures the card fits into a range of chassis types, from compact NAS enclosures to standard desktop towers. The card focuses purely on PCIe NVMe drives in the 2280 form factor, so SATA M.2 drives are not supported. For QNAP NAS users, the QM2-4P-384 is particularly useful for enabling SSD caching to accelerate read and write performance on traditional hard drive storage pools, delivering noticeable responsiveness improvements for frequently accessed data.
