QNAP TR-002-28ST-US 8TB RAID 1 USB-C DAS

The QNAP TR-002-28ST-US is a compact 2-bay direct-attached storage enclosure designed to serve double duty as either a NAS expansion unit or a standalone external drive for PCs. This particular bundle arrives pre-loaded with two 4TB Seagate IronWolf hard drives configured in RAID 1, meaning your data is automatically mirrored across both drives for protection against single-drive failure. The onboard hardware RAID controller handles all parity and mirroring calculations independently, keeping your host device's CPU free and ensuring consistent performance regardless of your computer's processing power.

Connectivity comes via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, supporting transfer speeds up to 10Gbps — more than sufficient for the throughput of two mechanical hard drives. For QNAP NAS owners, the TR-002 can operate as seamless expansion storage, adding capacity to an existing QNAP setup without occupying network bandwidth. For everyone else, it functions as a standard USB external drive compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. The included Seagate IronWolf drives are purpose-built for always-on, multi-bay environments and include a 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan, providing a professional recovery option in the event of accidental deletion, natural disaster, or hardware failure beyond the RAID's protection.
