QNAP EJ1600-v2 High-performance, dual-controller 12 Gbps
SAS RAID expansion enclosure
Features
High-performance, dual-controller 12 Gbps SAS RAID expansion enclosure.
Simple & flexible storage expansion for Enterprise ZFS
NAS
The EJ1600 v2 expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space
on a QNAP Enterprise ZFS NAS by connecting multiple expansion enclosures via
high-speed mini SAS cables. Featuring a 12 Gbps SAS interface on the chassis,
the EJ1600 v2 ensures fast data passthrough from 12 Gbps SAS-enabled Enterprise
ZFS NAS. This is especially useful for virtualization applications and large
data applications that require high-performance interconnection, such as video
surveillance, archiving large data, and TV broadcast storage, to provide
businesses with optimized efficiency and maximized ROI. The EJ1600 v2 connects
to the Enterprise ZFS NAS via the dual path mini-SAS design to sustain
continuous operations even if an external JBOD cable is disconnected.
- Dual-channel (Dual Path) to tolerate single node failure for uninterrupted
operations.
- Missing Mode protection.
- High density, high efficiency and high scalability.
- Flexible management with the QES Storage Manager.
- Ideal backup storage for the dual-controller Enterprise ZFS NAS.
Supported Enterprise ZFS NAS models and the maximum number of applicable
expansion enclosures.

Dual path design to ensure continuous operations
The EJ1600 v2 and Enterprise ZFS NAS all provide dual-channel (Dual Path) to
tolerate single node failure. Even if an external JBOD cable is disconnected due
to external damage to the mini-SAS cable, it can still run normally. This is
essential for intermachine data protection and capacity scalability for
uninterrupted mission-critical enterprise tasks. Simply connect a EJ1600 v2 to
an Enterprise ZFS NAS and power it on, the NAS will detect hard drives in the
EJ1600 v2 as newly-installed local drives. You can seamlessly expand and manage
the NAS capacity by using the powerful QES Storage Manager.
As shown in the above figure, the cabling method used to connect expansion
units creates a redundant cross loop configuration. This provides the expansion
units with redundant paths to the base Enterprise ZFS NAS. Moreover, system
failover protection includes protection of JBOD connection failure to provide an
extra layer of protection. With these two protection methods, when one or
multiple paths to the EJ1600 v2 disconnect, other expansion units are still able
to communicate with the base Enterprise ZFS NAS.
Missing Mode protection
When the disconnection of a RAID expansion enclosure is detected, the
Enterprise ZFS NAS blocks IO access to protect data. The system can recover from
missing mode to its normal state with the data staying intact.
High density, high efficiency and highly scalable
The EJ1600 v2 supports 16 hard drives and 160TB raw capacity in 3U rack
space. The EJ1600 v2 has two SAS wide ports (IN and OUT ports) for each
controller (with 4 SAS wide ports in total with dual controllers) for host
connectivity and daisy-chaining respectively. Each SAS wide port combines four
SAS channels, with each supporting 12 Gbps full duplex speed. The solution
delivers unprecedented performance of up to 48 Gbps per host connection.
Powerful QES Storage Manager
The QES Storage Manager neatly presents tools and options for managing system
storage with an intuitive graphical user interface, which simplifies the process
of NAS capacity expansion and EJ1600 v2 management. IT administrators can easily
monitor the health of the EJ1600 v2 and the disks within it. When cascading
multiple expansion enclosures in a rack, the Locate Disk and Locate Enclosure
functions assist IT administrators in quick maintenance.
An excellent backup solution for Enterprise ZFS NAS
In addition to expanding an existing volume, IT administrators can use the
EJ1600 v2 as a cost-effective external storage to perform speedy and secure
backup tasks for an Enterprise ZFS NAS. The QNAP RTRR (Real-Time Remote
Replication) or rsync service lets IT administrators back up NAS data to the
EJ1600 v2 on a real time or scheduled basis.
Flexible drive type and capacity
The EJ1600 v2 offers high flexibility in hard drive selection. IT
administrators can choose enterprise-level SAS HDDs with high performance and
high reliability for mission-critical applications, or high-speed SSDs for
I/O-intensive operations.
