About this product
The QNAP TR-004-US is a 4-bay direct-attached storage (DAS) expansion unit. It connects via USB 3.0 Type-C, offering compatibility with both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA HDDs and SSDs (6Gb/s and 3Gb/s). This diskless system provides hardware RAID capabilities for data protection and performance, serving as a flexible external drive solution for expanding storage. Its design focuses on direct connectivity rather than network access.
Our take
For those needing straightforward storage expansion, the QNAP TR-004-US is a practical 4-bay DAS. The USB 3.0 Type-C interface ensures decent transfer speeds, and its compatibility with both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA drives (HDD or SSD) makes it versatile. Keep in mind it's a diskless system, so you'll need to supply your own drives. The hardware RAID is a valuable feature for configuring your storage for redundancy or speed. At $223.49, it's a cost-effective way to add substantial local storage, especially if you already have spare drives or prefer direct attachment over network storage.
