Expansion Enclosure Management

An expansion enclosure is managed using the QTS operating system of the NAS it is connected to. Once attached, an expansion enclosure will be displayed in Storage Manager of the attached NAS alongside a variety of management features. Please note that expansion enclosure functions may vary by QTS version. Below are some fundamental functions for expansion enclosures in QTS.

* QTS 4.1 (or newer) is recommended when using an expansion unit.

Expand the Storage Pool of the attached NAS or create separate Storage Pools & Volumes on expansion enclosures.
Check hard disk S.M.A.R.T. information, S.M.A.R.T. test and performance test report.
Easily locate/identify expansion units as well as individual hard disks installed within them.

The QTS Storage Manager comes with many advanced functions that have evolved with each version of QTS to provide easier and more efficient storage management. The following are some core applications or functions that are useful for expansion units:

Use the Dashboard to view system storage allocation or obtain an overview of space utilization by volume.
Move data to another QNAP NAS for data backup or recovery using QJBOD Express.
