QNAP TR-002 2-Bay USB-C Direct Attached Storage DAS

The QNAP TR-002 is a two-bay direct attached storage enclosure designed to give users a simple, hardware-managed RAID solution over a fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C connection. Unlike software RAID, the TR-002 handles all RAID processing on its built-in controller, which means the host system's CPU is not burdened with parity calculations or mirroring tasks. A physical switch on the back of the unit lets you select between RAID 0 for maximum speed, RAID 1 for data redundancy, JBOD for combining drives into a single volume, or individual disk mode — no drivers or configuration software needed.

Cross-platform compatibility is a key strength of the TR-002. It connects to Windows, macOS, and Linux systems as a standard USB storage device, and it can also be attached to a QNAP NAS to expand an existing storage pool. The two 3.5-inch SATA bays accept standard desktop hard drives, and with adapter trays, 2.5-inch SATA drives and SSDs can also be installed. For users who need a compact, portable way to add redundant or high-speed storage to a workstation or NAS, the TR-002 delivers a focused solution without unnecessary complexity.
