QNAP 79700-T00202SG01-RS Seagate IronWolf 525 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

Overview

The 79700-T00202SG01-RS is a QNAP-bundled Seagate IronWolf 525 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD — a factory-matched solid-state storage component sourced as part of a QNAP NAS configuration rather than as a standalone retail drive. This SKU is intended for deployments where QNAP NAS units ship pre-configured with validated M.2 storage, ensuring the drive and enclosure have been tested together for compatibility. If you are expanding or replacing M.2 cache or storage tiers in a QNAP unit with M.2 slots, verify your specific NAS model's compatibility list before ordering — QNAP maintains a hardware compatibility list (HCL) on their support portal that confirms which M.2 drives are validated per chassis.

Compatibility

This component is associated with QNAP NAS platforms supporting M.2 2280 NVMe drives. Based on available evidence, the broader QNAP tower NAS lineup — including 4-bay models with Marvell-based processors and SATA II (3Gb/s) drive bays — represents the intended platform family. QNAP NAS units with dedicated M.2 slots (used for SSD caching via Qtier or as primary NVMe storage volumes) are the applicable deployment targets. Specific compatible chassis should be confirmed against QNAP's NAS catalog and the official QNAP HCL, as M.2 slot availability and NVMe support vary by model generation. This drive is not intended for direct installation into standard 3.5-inch SATA bays — it requires an M.2 2280 slot or a compatible NAS expansion accessory with M.2 support.

Installation Notes

M.2 2280 form factor — 80mm length, standard single-screw retention. Ensure the target QNAP NAS has an available M.2 slot and that NVMe (PCIe) protocol is supported on that slot; some QNAP models include M.2 SATA-only slots, which are electrically incompatible with NVMe drives. Consult the chassis service manual for torque specifications on the M.2 retention screw. After physical installation, initialize the drive through QTS Storage Manager before assigning it to a storage pool or cache tier.
