QNAP Dual-Port Thunderbolt 3 Expansion Card

The QNAP QXP-T32P is a dual-port Thunderbolt 3 expansion card that brings high-speed connectivity to the QNAP TVS-h1288X and TVS-h1688X NAS models. By adding two Thunderbolt 3 ports, it unlocks data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps, giving your storage system the bandwidth needed for demanding tasks such as 4K video editing, large media backups, and real-time collaboration.

The card connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, creating a pathway that fully supports the speed of Thunderbolt 3. You can daisy-chain as many as six devices from a single port, which keeps your workspace organized while linking storage arrays, displays, or high-performance peripherals in one neat chain.

Installation is straightforward. Both low-profile and full-size brackets are included, so the card fits comfortably in a range of chassis designs. If you still use equipment that relies on Thunderbolt 2, you can keep it in service by adding a compatible adapter, protecting your investment in older hardware while you transition to faster standards.

This expansion card is a practical upgrade for video editors who cut footage directly from the NAS, creative teams that share large media libraries, and IT administrators who want responsive file transfers across multiple workstations. By moving heavy data loads off the network and onto a direct Thunderbolt connection, the QXP-T32P helps your NAS perform at its best when deadlines are tight.
