Add support for two M.2 SSDs to your compatible QNAP NAS, Windows/Linux PC, or server using the Dual M.2 22110 / 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe SSD Expansion Card from QNAP . The two M.2 slots support 2280 or 22110 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSDs and interfaces with your host system using a PCIe Gen3 x4 connection, which provides up to 32 Gb/s of bandwidth. M.2 SSDs can be installed to form caching pools or an auto-tiering volume, while integrated thermal sensors allow for real-time temperature monitoring. A quiet cooling module, made up of a heat sink and a fan, help minimize overheating risks and maintain high performance.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking. Available from $175.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no ongoing costs and consume minimal power. Their cost of ownership is entirely the upfront price per gigabyte.
Common Failure Modes
SSDs have no moving parts, making them immune to physical shock. Failures occur through flash memory wear-out from writing massive amounts of data or sudden controller death.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking.
SSDs have a finite number of write cycles, usually measured in Terabytes Written (TBW). For average consumers, this limit takes many years to reach.
