Brand: QNAP · SKU: QDA-SA2 · MPN: QDA-SA2 · Category: Storage
The QDA-SA2 adapter is designed for dual-controller servers and QNAP Enterprise ZFS NAS, allowing the use of a 2.5-inch SATA 6Gbps SSD or HDD in a standard 3.5-inch SAS drive bay. It enables the SATA drive to share the SAS dual-port advantages for higher reliability, crucial for high-availability, fault-tolerant enterprise storage environments. It can be installed in a QNAP NAS or server running Windows® or Linux®, offering a more affordable, high-performing storage alternative to expensive SAS drives. Note: QDA-SA2 adapters are typically sold in a pack of four (QDA-SA2-4PCS). The connected drive may not reach its optimal performance due to protocol translation and some overhead. QDA-SA2 does not support SSD TRIM and the drive S.M.A.R.T. feature is not supported on non-QES operating systems.
