QNAP QM2-2P410G1T Dual M.2 NVMe & 10GbE PCIe Expansion Card

Overview

The QM2-2P410G1T is a PCIe Gen4 x8 expansion card that installs into a compatible QNAP NAS or PC to add two M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots and a single 10GbE RJ45 network port — no driver installation required. This card directly addresses two common NAS bottlenecks in a single slot: fast local NAS storage expansion via NVMe and high-bandwidth network connectivity via Multi-Gigabit Ethernet. The QM2-2P410G1T is the right pick when your NAS has a spare PCIe slot and you need to add SSD caching or tiered storage alongside a 10GbE uplink without consuming an additional slot for a separate NIC.

Compatibility

Designed for QNAP NAS systems with an available PCIe Gen3 or Gen4 x8 (or wider) slot. Compatible NAS families include QNAP TVS-h series (e.g., TVS-h877AX, TVS-h1288X), TS-hx88 series, and other QNAP NAS models that expose a PCIe expansion bay. Also installs in standard desktop/workstation PCIe Gen4 motherboards. The integrated network controller uses the AQC113C chipset, supporting Multi-Gigabit switching at 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M — confirm your switch supports the required link speed before deployment. Verify your specific NAS model's PCIe slot count and lane allocation in QNAP's compatibility list prior to ordering; not all TS-series models expose a full x8 slot.

Installation Notes

Card occupies a single PCIe x8 slot; ensure the NAS enclosure physically accommodates a full-height or low-profile bracket as applicable. M.2 slots accept 2280 form factor NVMe drives only — SATA M.2 drives are not supported. Power the NAS down completely before seating the card. No separate driver package is needed for supported QNAP QTS/QuTS hero firmware versions; the card is recognized at boot. For PC installations, confirm UEFI/BIOS PCIe Gen4 support and that NVMe drives intended for caching are not also set as boot devices.
