QNAP TL-D1600S High-performance 16-Bay (12 x 3.5-inch + 4 x 2.5-inch) desktop SATA 6Gbps JBOD storage enclosure kit
16-bay desktop SATA JBOD expansion unit with a QXP-1600eS PCIe SATA host card and 4 SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s external cables.
The TL-D1600S 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-1600eS SATA expansion card
Cable: 4 × SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 Mini-SAS cable (1 meter)
(Your PC must have an available PCIe slot (the included QXP-1600eS is a PCIe Gen3 x8 card)
