The ASUSTOR Xpanstor 12R (AX7012R) is a 2U, 12-bay SAS/SATA expansion unit, not a NAS: it connects to a compatible ASUSTOR rackmount NAS over Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) and its drives are managed from the NAS. ARC IP Networks supplies it genuine, with Australia-wide delivery.

ASUSTOR Xpanstor 12R AX7012R 2U expansion unit, front view

Xpanstor 12R (AX7012R) overview

The Xpanstor 12R adds 12 hot-swappable SAS or SATA bays to an ASUSTOR rackmount NAS. It appears natively in ADM, so you build volumes and snapshots for its drives in Storage Manager; the host needs ADM 4.3.1 or later.

Two 650W redundant power supplies and three hot-swappable fans keep it running through a power-supply or fan failure, and fans can be replaced without downtime.

ASUSTOR covers the Xpanstor 12R with a 5-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the ASUSTOR AX7012R from the ARC IP Networks team.

Last reviewed October 2026.

A 2U, 12-bay SAS/SATA expansion unit (JBOD) for ASUSTOR rackmount NAS. It is not a NAS on its own: its drives appear in the host NAS's Storage Manager, which needs ADM 4.3.1 or later.

ASUSTOR's specification lists the Lockerstor 12R Pro (AS7112RDX) and 16R Pro (AS7116RDX). ASUSTOR's Lockerstor R Pro Gen2 pages (AS7212RDX, AS7216RDX, AS7224RDX) also describe adding an Xpanstor 12R through a SAS controller card. Call us to confirm your setup.

Over SAS: it has four Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports (two in, two out) and ships with one SFF-8644 cable. The NAS needs a SAS controller card.

No. ASUSTOR notes that drives in an expansion unit cannot be combined with NAS drives in the same RAID array; create separate volumes on the Xpanstor.

Two 650W power supplies that switch over automatically if one fails, and three hot-swappable fans.

ASUSTOR lists a 5-year warranty.
