QNAP TL-D800C 8-Bay USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C JBOD Enclosure

The QNAP TL-D800C-US is an eight bay enclosure that connects to a host through USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C and operates in JBOD mode. It accepts both 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch SATA 6 Gb/s drives, giving users the flexibility to mix high-capacity hard disks with solid-state media as their workflows evolve.

The enclosure is an easy way to expand a QNAP NAS without opening the original chassis, but it also serves well as direct-attached storage for computers running Windows, macOS, or Linux. Video editors can keep projects on the unit and pull footage at up to 10 Gb/s with UASP support, while small offices can schedule regular backups that land on drives they can swap or off-site as needed.

RAID 0, 1, and 5 volumes are created with the tools that ship inside each operating system, avoiding the need for proprietary utilities. QNAP JBOD Manager quietly monitors temperature, fan speed, and drive health, and it sends alerts the moment something changes. LED indicators on the front panel mirror that status information so you can confirm activity or spot issues at a glance.

Each tray locks to reduce the chance of accidental removal in shared studios or offices. The hot-swap design means a drive can be replaced without powering down, and tool-less mounting keeps maintenance quick.

From photographers archiving growing libraries to home users extending personal clouds, the TL-D800C-US offers a straightforward path to more capacity with the simplicity of a single USB-C cable.
