Acting as a direct-attached storage (DAS) device, it connects via its USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port using the included Type-C to Type-A cable, providing fast and easy access to your data. The TR-004 features four hot-swappable 3.5-inch SATA bays compatible with both 3.5\" and 2.5\" hard drives, as well as 2.5\" SSDs, supporting multiple RAID configurations to suit performance, redundancy, or a balance of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"1295\"\u003eDesigned for flexible storage management, the TR-004 supports hardware- or software-controlled RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10, as well as Individual and JBOD modes. Individual mode treats each drive independently, while JBOD combines drives into a single volume without redundancy. RAID 0 maximises performance by striping data across drives, RAID 1\/10 offers full data redundancy at the cost of half the total capacity, and RAID 5 provides parity-based protection for up to one drive failure. Software-controlled RAID configuration is available through QNAP NAS or the QNAP External RAID Manager utility for Windows and Mac, providing detailed monitoring and management of disk health and RAID performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003eThe TR-004 is ideal for a range of scenarios. It can expand the capacity of your NAS, serve as external storage for backups or data migration, increase storage on your computer, and facilitate cross-platform file sharing between NAS, Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. Supporting data transfer speeds of up to 227 MB\/s and equipped with a 120mm smart cooling fan, it ensures reliable performance while keeping drives cool. For devices using the exFAT file system, a separate exFAT driver license is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"2038\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eWith its independent operation and minimal NAS resource usage, the TR-004 offers a practical and efficient alternative to conventional NAS expansion enclosures, making it a reliable choice for both home and professional environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QNAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608643453187,"sku":"TR-004","price":499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/6850\/7907\/files\/TR_004_4.jpg?v=1769200339","url":"https:\/\/videoguys.com.au\/products\/qnap-tr-004-4-bay-usb-3-2-gen-1-raid-expansion-enclosure","provider":"Videoguys Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
