\u003cp\u003eThe QDA-A2AR can accommodate two 2.5-inch SATA drives within a single 3.5-inch SATA drive bay. No software driver is required for the QDA-A2AR and it can be installed in a PC\/workstation (Windows® Linux®) or QNAP NAS to flexibly add additional hard drives or SSDs to meet various storage needs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUse two 2.5-inch SATA HDDs\/SSDs (7mm to 9.5mm high) in a single 3.5-inch drive bay.

Depending on your requirements you can use the bundled metal pin as disk mode switch tool to select your ideal RAID mode: Individual JBOD RAID 0 or RAID 1. Windows® users can use the QNAP External RAID Manager utility to view the RAID group status and disk health information.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndividual Mode\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eA PC that supports SATA port multipliers can connect two SATA drives to a single SATA port allowing you to independently access each disk as separate storage space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e RAID 1 Mode (Default)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eHalf of the total storage capacity is used to store data and the other half keeps a copy of this data.

To deal with tasks that require intensive fast data transmission you can install high-speed SATA SSDs to achieve maximized performance and lower latency ideal for on-the-fly video editing and server-grade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExternal RAID Manager for Windows users\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe QNAP External RAID Manager utility allows Windows® users to view the drive status and RAID information of the QDA-A2AR. Firmware updates for the QDA-A2AR can also be managed with the External RAID Manager utility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstall in QNAP NAS for efficient storage or SSD caching\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe QDA-A2AR supports hardware RAID that will not consume CPU resources to help sustain optimal NAS performance. You can install one or more QDA-A2AR in a NAS to maximize the storage utilization of 3.5-inch drive bays. The QDA-A2AR can accommodate two SSDs to create an SSD volume for performance-demanding workflows or work in an efficient tiered-storage environment with Qtier. It can also boost IOPS performance when configuring SSD caching. RAID information and drive health of the QDA-A2AR can be monitored through the QTS Storage \u0026amp; Snapshots Manager.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"QNAP Systems","offers":[{"title":"QNAP QDA-A2AR DAS Storage System","offer_id":46756630528322,"sku":"1059803529","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/0320\/7234\/files\/1059803529.jpg?v=1694789996","url":"https:\/\/tekmentum.com\/products\/qnap-qda-a2ar-das-storage-system-qda-a2ar-1059803529","provider":"Tekmentum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
