QNAP UX-500P Overview

The UX-500P 5-Bay RAID Expansion Enclosure from QNAP provides additional space for five hard drives for select QNAP NAS devices, making it useful for data backup, digital media collections, video surveillance, and more. This expansion enclosure is a budget-friendly alternative designed with easy setup in mind for expanding the total storage space of your NAS for general applications. It offers a hassle-free storage expansion for home/small office use.

Your NAS NAS will automatically detect the hard drives in the enclosure as newly installed local drives. With the missing mode protection, the NAS enters missing mode and blocks I/O access to protect the stored data. It automatically powers on and off with your Turbo NAS, allowing for total convenience and energy saving. The QTS 4.1 Storage manager neatly presents tools and options for managing system storage with an intuitive graphical interface.

Easily Add Additional Drive Capacity to a Turbo NAS
Simply connect the enclosure to a Turbo NAS* and power it on. The Turbo NAS will automatically detect the hard drives in the enclosure as newly installed local drives. Its capacity can then be expanded as a large volume seamlessly and economically by using the powerful QTS Storage Manager.
Note:
*QTS 4.1.0 or newer is required for the Turbo NAS.
Missing Mode Protection
If the enclosure is accidentally disconnected, the Turbo NAS enters missing mode and blocks I/O access to protect the stored data. The system can then recover from the missing mode to the normal state with data staying intact.
Powerful QTS Storage Manager
The QTS Storage Manager neatly presents tools and options for managing system storage with a modern and intuitive graphical user interface, which simplifies the process of NAS capacity expansion and enclosure management. No matter if you are an IT administrator or Home user, you can easily monitor the health status of enclosure and the disks within it. When multiple expansion enclosures are connected, the Locate Disk and Locate Enclosure functions assist you in quick maintenance*.
Note:
*Not applicable to TS-x51 & TS/SS-x53 Pro series.
Flexible RAID Configuration
The enclosure features five hot-swap drive bays for easy installation and removal. The automatic insertion/removable detection and rebuild allow easy management. Featuring RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, support and managed by the powerful QTS Storage Manager, it ensures maximum performance and data security.
An Optimal Backup Solution for Turbo NAS
The enclosure can be used as a budget-friendly external storage to perform speedy and secure backup tasks for the Turbo NAS. The administrator can backup the Turbo NAS data to the enclosure on a real-time or scheduled basis.
Smart Power Design

Optimal Hardware Design
