Overview

TR-004: RAID box with multiple possibilities

The TR-004 from QNAP is a RAID enclosure for 4 2.5"/3.5" hard disks or SSDs with two operating modes. It can be used as an expansion unit by being connected to a NAS to extend storage capacity or directly to a PC for use as an external USB 3.0 enclosure.

With its 4 bays, the QNAP TR-004 makes it quick and easy to set up a storage and backup solution for your PC/Mac or NAS, thanks to simplified RAID configuration and powerful, intuitive Qnap External RAID Manager software.

RAID-configurable storage expansion


The TR-004 is an ideal storage expansion solution for PCs and especially laptops with limited storage capacity.Equipped with four 3.5-inch SATA disk bays and supporting RAID 0/1/5/10 modes, the TR-004 offers the possibility of storing a large number of files and data and providing protection against possible disk failures.


RAID configuration made easy


The TR-004 supports a variety of RAID configurations. Depending on your needs, you can switch between hardware- and software-controlled RAID modes. Move the DIP switches to the positions corresponding to your ideal RAID mode: individual, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1/10 or RAID 5. You can also configure RAID settings from your QNAP NAS or using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility from a computer.


An alternative to conventional expansion boxes


As an external RAID device, the TR-004 operates independently and does not require additional resources from the NAS system.Compared with the UX-500P expansion box, the TR-004 uses fewer NAS system resources, giving you a smoother user experience.


External storage for your NAS


You can use the TR-004 as an additional storage device for backing up or moving data from your Qnap NAS ,or to easily migrate a huge amount of data that would normally require a lot of network bandwidth .Once connected to the NAS, you can monitor the health and status of the TR-004 using the Storage Manager on the NAS.


Increase your computer's storage space


The TR-004 can quickly add storage space to your computer by connecting it via a USB 3.0 port. You can use the DIP switch to configure a hardware RAID mode or manage it using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility.The integrity and status of the TR-004 can also be monitored using the QNAP External RAID Manager utility.

    Exceptional after-sales service!

    I had a case from a defective series but a simple message to LDLC and they changed my case in the following week and the shipping costs were fully refunded!
    So when I often read comments saying that LDLC isn't top notch or that LDLC doesn't do anything for the customer, I say to myself that either these people don't check their equipment when they receive it and don't send it back within the allotted time when a fault occurs, or that these people want to get a discount after the fact!

    works well

    Simpler than a NAS, and perfect for storing video rushes, it's a shame it doesn't come in 6 bays for a raid 5 with 2 spare disks...

    Nickel

    The TR004 USB-C extension is directly recognized when plugged into the PC.
    It was a bit difficult to get my QNAP TS231-P NAS to detect it (probably due to the 2core processor and 1gb ddr3 of ram.) Strangely my NAS had trouble, so I put the TR004 as an extension to the PC.
