Marketing Information

The QXG-10G2SF-NXE 10GbE network expansion card, featuring two 10GbE SFP+ ports (10G/1G), is energy-efficient and budget-friendly. It serves as an ideal solution for teams that need concurrent data access, for photographers/videographers seeking rapid and seamless data transmission capabilities, or for latency-sensitive virtualization applications.

NAS and PC

Install a QXG-10G2SF-NXE in a QNAP NAS or Windows® PC.

TS-x64 NAS series supported

Compatible with the popular TS-x64 and TS-x64U NAS series.

PCIe 3.0

Supports PCIe Gen 3 x8, compatible with PCIe Gen 4 slot.

SR-IOV

Improves the network performance of virtual machines.

LED indicators

Monitor the real-time status of ports with handy LED indicators.

Cooling fan

The fan and heatsinks reduce operational temperature and maintain stable performance.

Compatible with NAS and PC

The QXG-10G2SF-NXE network expansion card supports QNAP NAS, Windows®, and Linux® devices, allowing you to maximize the potential of all your networked devices.

  • NAS operating system: QTS 5.2.1 (and later), QuTS hero h5.2.1 (and later).
  • Windows®: Windows 11® 22H2, Windows Server 2022® 21H2 (driver required)
  • Linux®: Ubuntu® 24.04 LTS (driver required)

Strengthen your virtualization environment with SR-IOV

The QXG-10G2SF-NXE supports SR-IOV, which can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs on the NAS. It helps improve network efficiency, ensuring reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads.

Supports iSER for Improved VM Performance

The QXG-10G2SF-NXE supports iSER, combining iSCSI and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), which can bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and to directly enter memory buffers of the server and storage. Response time is also reduced to ensure service quality of the NAS.

Build a 10GbE network environment

Increase your IT performance and productivity by using the QXG-10G2SF-NXE with QNAP's 10GbE switches to build budget-friendly high-speed network environments.

Gain up to 20Gbps bandwidth

By virtually bundling two 10GbE ports with SMB multichannel or port trunking, you gain larger bandwidth for your QNAP NAS. Let's see which features are suitable for your usage scenarios:

  • SMB Multichannel: Multiply the available bandwidth (20Gbps) between NAS and directly-connected clients. Suited for personal use.
  •  Port trunking: Increases file access efficiency for simultaneous data access with multiple members. Recommended for users who deploy network switches in their IT infrastructure.
