QNAP TL-D400S High Performance 4-Bay SATA 6Gbps Storage Enclosure Kit
4-bay desktop SATA JBOD expansion unit with a QXP-400eS-A1164 PCIe SATA host card and a SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s external cable.
The TL-D400S includes both the required PCIe host card and the external cable needed to connect it directly to a Windows or Linux PC. So if you're planning to install it on a standard Windows PC, you should not need to buy any additional interface card or cable - the included card and SFF-8088 cable are intended exactly for that use case.
The package contents include:
PCIe Host Card: QXP-400eS-A1164 SATA expansion card
Cable: 1 × SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 Mini-SAS cable (1 meter)
(Your PC must have an available PCIe slot (the included QXP-400eS-A1164 is a PCIe 3.0 x2 card)
QNAP TL-D400S 4-Bay SATA JBOD Expansion Enclosure
