QNAP TRAY-25-NK-BLK01 2.5" Keyless SSD Drive Tray
Overview
The TRAY-25-NK-BLK01 is a replacement or expansion drive tray designed to accept 2.5" SSD or hard drives in compatible QNAP NAS enclosures. The 'NK' designation indicates this tray ships without a key lock mechanism — appropriate for deployments where drive-bay physical security is managed at the enclosure or rack level rather than per-bay. If your chassis shipped short a tray, or you're expanding a unit that accepts additional 2.5" bays, this is the direct replacement part.
Compatibility
This tray is designed for NAS storage enclosures in the QNAP lineup that accept 2.5" tool-less or screw-mount trays in a black housing. Confirm your specific enclosure's tray format before ordering — QNAP produces multiple tray variants differentiated by drive size (2.5" vs 3.5"), key lock presence (NK = no key), and color. Cross-reference your enclosure's documentation or the tray part number printed inside the existing bay to verify TRAY-25-NK-BLK01 is the correct fit. Do not assume compatibility across NAS generations without verification, as tray rail dimensions and locking tab geometry vary by chassis family.
Installation Notes
Seat the 2.5" drive in the tray using the side-mounting screw holes before inserting into the bay — do not insert a loose drive directly. Ensure the bay is fully powered down or the NAS supports hot-swap on that bay before insertion. The absence of a key lock means the tray releases with the standard eject lever only; factor this into your physical security posture if the unit is in a shared or public-access space.
