The QNAP TL-R1620SDC in depth

Expansion for dual-controller QES NAS

The TL-R1620SDC is designed for QNAP's dual-controller NAS running QES. Cabled in a redundant cross loop, every expansion unit keeps a path to the base NAS even if one or more connections drop, protecting mission-critical workloads.

Plug in and manage from the host

Once connected and powered on, the host NAS sees the TL-R1620SDC drives as newly installed local drives, ready for RAID groups, storage pools and snapshots in Storage Manager. DataBolt lets 6Gb/s drives benefit from the host's 12Gb/s SAS links.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the QNAP TL-R1620SDC from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.

QNAP requires a dual-controller NAS with QES 2.1.1 or later, using Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) or Mini-SAS (SFF-8088) ports or a PCIe SAS expansion card.

QNAP's specification lists management via the NAS QES OS and JBOD Manager for Windows; QTS and QuTS hero hosts are not listed for this model.

Each of its two controllers has three 12Gb/s SAS 3.0 Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) wide ports, and each wide port provides up to 48Gbps.

QNAP states two Mini-SAS SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cables are included; additional cables depend on how the JBODs are connected.

QNAP backs the TL-R1620SDC with a 5-year warranty at no extra cost.
