For NAS
The QM2-2P2G2T adds support for M.2 NVMe SSDs and 2.5GbE connectivity to your QNAP NAS. Combining M.2 SSD and 2.5GbE connectivity into one solution, the QM2 PCIe expansion card improves overall NAS performance by enabling SSD caching while providing an affordable upgrade path for adopting 2.5GbE networks. As a PCIe card, the QM2-2P2G2T does not occupy any 3.5-inch drive bays, allowing you to upgrade your NAS without impacting your potential storage capacity.
For PC/Server
The QM2-2P2G2T PCIe card allows you to easily add M.2 NVMe SSDs and 2.5GbE connectivity to your PC/workstation. Compared with the SATA interface, the QM2's PCIe interface provides higher bandwidth to deliver faster computing speed and data access.
The QM2-2P2G2T PCIe card allows for adding M.2 SSDs to increase the storage capacity of your Windows/Linux PC/workstation, while also boosting overall IOPS performance by offloading bandwidth-demanding tasks to the SSD to minimize application loading times. It is ideal for resource-demanding applications, such as inline video-editing, gaming and more.
