The QNAP TR-002-EU is a versatile 2-bay RAID expansion unit that allows users to quickly and efficiently expand the storage capacity of their existing QNAP NAS or computer systems. Designed for flexibility and ease of use, this enclosure supports both NAS expansion and Direct-Attached Storage (DAS), making it suitable for home users, content creators, and small businesses.
Equipped with two 3.5"/2.5" SATA 6Gb/s drive bays, the TR-002 supports HDDs or SSDs, allowing users to customize performance and storage capacity based on their needs. It features multiple hardware RAID configurations including RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, and Individual Disk Mode, managed via physical DIP switches or QNAP’s RAID Manager software.
Powered by a reliable hardware RAID controller, the TR-002 ensures faster performance and improved data protection without consuming system resources from the host device. The USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C connection provides up to 5 Gbps transfer speed, making it ideal for high-speed backup, large media file transfer, and expanding storage for 4K video projects.
The TR-002 integrates seamlessly with QNAP NAS devices. When connected to a QNAP NAS, it can be used as an independent storage pool/volume, or as an expansion volume through Storage & Snapshots Manager. For PC and Mac users, it works as a plug-and-play external storage drive, supporting file storage, backup, and media editing workflows.
Designed with durability and efficiency in mind, the TR-002 features intelligent cooling with a built-in fan, tool-less drive installation, and a compact desktop-friendly form factor — making it a practical choice for anyone needing reliable and flexible storage expansion.
