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

TL;DR - Using this with a UGreen DXP8800 Plus NAS running TrueNAS Community Edition OS 25.04. Plug and Play, just works with included PCIe card. All 4 drives seen individually including serial numbers and made a ZFS RAIDZ2 pool using 4x 8TB Seagate Iron Wolf drives. Works like internal HDD’s. I like that the 4 Bay DAS comes with the PCIe card AND SFF 8088 cable included. I slotted the card into my system, attached the SFF-8088 cable and power and booted up. No fuss getting it seen by TrueNAS, just worked. I did update the firmware as it shipped with I think 1.1.0. The site lists 1.5.0 as the latest. They have a program called QNAP JBOD manager that’s compatible with Windows/Ubuntu/QNAP OS’s. I tried Ubuntu first, but apparently you can’t update firmware using the Linux version of JBOD Manager. I was able to make a Windows-to-Go USB stick and do the firmware update using the Windows version of JBOD manager. The overall build quality is, ok. Very plasticy, drive trays feel cheap but do the job. However, the cooling/fans seem adequate to keep things from getting hot without being too loud. My systems in a closet so noise isn’t a big issue. Overall, a great way to add 4 HDD bays to a system that function like internal drives, assuming you have the free PCIe slot.

I needed a JBOD enclosure to use with a Windows PC. I was using a NAS before but 99% access was this one PC so decided to get a DAS solution. I don’t have enough USB ports so I arrived at this choice. The controller required the QNAP software to be installed (with Marvell drivers) but afterwards my PC recognized the drives immediately. I was able to easy set up Windows Storage Spaces afterwards like they were native disk. Performance in Storage Spaces requires some tweaking but overall I’m get excellent results without any problems associated with USB drives. The enclosure and included accessories were all top notch quality. Only gripe is the SF-8088 cable is only 1 meter long which is a little shorter than I prefer and the enclosure has a sticker that says only up to 1 meter is supported. I will have to look more into this. Overall I’m happy.

Very simple setup. It contained the full height and half height brackets too. I got it working with my NAS with no issues. I also like that is quiet since I keep it in my room's closet!

I use it with a QNAP 464 and see little performance drop with it. Although it can’t support hardware raid, the software RAID has been flawless thus far. Just make sure to follow the documentation. If you do not plan on connecting this to a QNAP machine, be weary. The software’s designed for QNAP and they have a history of not being as reliable on other hardware. This is not the the fault of the product though, it’s built for a QNAP NAS. This expansion is designed well, and I’m grateful for it. Stacks perfectly on top of the existing NAS.

Super easy setup! UNRAID server performance is plug and play. I took one star off just for the length of the connectors from the device to my server. Not a deal breaker at all though because it works!

Bought to expand a 6-year-old NAS TS-453Be. Easy install. Install PCI card into NAS, connect cable, install drives. Upon power on, it was instantly recognized. was able to create storage pool & shared folders as normal using "Storage & Snapshots" in QTS. Installed 2 8TB WD Red Plus Drives configured as JBOD as enclosure will house non-critical heavy read/write storage for Blue Iris security cameras, and Plex OTA TV DVR Recordings. It works seamlessly with my NAS and I couldn't be happier. Works as expected.

The QNAP TL-D800S claims to support running on Ubuntu or Windows, connected to a PC rather than to an existing QNAP NAS. But that's only partially true. Linux support is limited to Desktop Ubuntu for the QNAP Manager app, and it can not run on a server without a GUI. There is no command line interface available, and making matters worse the Linux app can not update the JBOD device's firmware. It's not really "linux support" in a meaningful sense if all it's doing is reporting SMART data in a GUI. The unit I received is causing my Debian system to freeze whenever I attempt to write data to any of the disks, so I'm unable to use the device in the first place. The search feature for the knowledge base is incredibly lacking, the forums need to be searched using an advanced google query, and they offer minimal support since most people seem to get frustrated and give up. I'm also pretty disappointed with the quality of the disk trays. The plastic drive retainers are okay at best, but I would NEVER trust them to hold a drive outside of the chassis. Fortunately they ship screws with the accessory kit. But the latch mechanism is very thin plastic, they keys are very thin plastic, the locks I guess are okay for just making sure you don't accidentally pull the latch open? In any even, the latch doesn't have a release button so there isn't anything positively keeping it in place. The tray rails also get bound easily in the tray slots in the chassis, so tilting the front of the drive downward when installing is necessary. The SATA adapter included is pretty low spec as well, and doesn't actually offer enough PCIe lanes for the throughput that the SATA links can support. This won't matter much if you're using HDDs, but if you're installing SSDs, you should probably provide your own SATA/SAS HBA with two SFF-8088 ports. One good point, if I have to give one, is that internally everything is a PCB that is socketed to other PCBs. This means there are no loose data cables inside the chassis getting chafed or otherwise damaged on sharp corners. There's also little or no room for the sockets to come partially unseated in transit, so if your unit actually functions, it's unlikely you'll have to re-seat anything.

Can get a bit "rumbly" so put it on a stable surface or on a rubber matt. Otherwise, it's awesome. Use it for my unraid setup.

Item only has US style power cord so had to purchase further cord to use. Works as expected and the use of sata connectivity between unit and NAS or host means much better than usb alternative. Quiet and just appears on the host.

I'd assumed this would be a straightforward solution to adding some 3.5" drives to our production server that has only 2.5" slots. Way too flaky, 2nd disk would not initialise, it would cause Windows to lose all disks from the enclosure if a single one is ejected, have turned it off.

QNAP NASのストレージ拡張用にTL-D800Sを購入しました。 早速HDDを8台フルで搭載して接続したのですが、なぜか半分（バンクAの4台のみ？）しか認識されず、設定をどう見直しても残りの4台が認識されないトラブルに見舞われました。 いろいろと切り分けを行った結果、付属のMini SASケーブルが原因ではないかと推測。 ダメ元で別途Mini SASケーブル（SFF-8088）を購入し、交換して接続し直したところ、今度は問題なく8台すべてを認識しました。 最終的に製品自体は正常に動作しており、拡張ベイとして満足しています。 ただ、付属のケーブルが初期不良だったのか、あるいは私自身の取り扱い（開封時や配線時）が悪くて断線させてしまったのかは、今となっては不明です。 もし同様に「半分しか認識しない」という症状が出た方は、設定をいじる前にケーブルの交換を試してみると解決するかもしれません。 原因究明とケーブルの追加購入で少し手間取ってしまったため、星4つとさせていただきます。

全然だめ。 PCリブートすると認識しなくなったりする。 使えない。
