Review: Hardware Based RAID 1 - This enclosure worked for WD16tb drives in raid 1 array. Easy to setup, flip dip switches to raid 1, insert drives power up format for OS. tested removing a single drive putting in a toaster and it was read just fine with all data there. Erased drive and reinserted in enclosure it automatically started rebuilding array. The only negative I have is when the array is degraded the enclosure beeps very loudly 3 times every 5 minutes, there is no control to shut it off or silence it. Even tho their raid software is not necessary I highly recommend installing it for more visibility (for instance will give you % complete while rebuilding array). It also allows you to upgrade firmware on the enclosure, read logs, etc... The enclosure also has hardware raid support chips onboard so it offloads some of the work from the CPU. I previously used a major mfg pre-built raid DAS units, but this is better because the disks can be read directly without enclosure encrypting disks limiting them to only being used in that specific enclosure. it was also cheaper to buy disks and this enclosure than their pre-built models. 👍 Review: Works well with Linux - Reviewing QNAP TR-002 for Linux/Ubuntu (Kubuntu) Setup: Installed two 4TB drives, preset mode to raid1, followed instructions, and two beeps after Set button, it was ready for setup. Ran partitionmanager, formatted it as ext4, with mount-point /backup, which took only a few minutes Test: Copied a few hundred MB files. Removed first harddrive, copy/pasted some more files, read/write was fine with only one drive in bay. Re-inserted the drive (after a few minutes (recommended)), and raid started rebuilding. That took several hours, was completed sometime overnight. Issues: Unmounts randomly after some time, even though computer is not suspended/sleeping. Fix: google GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT usbcore.autosuspend=-1 Nice to have: Would be nice to have some basic software for Linux, which provides status information, such as raid rebuild time. ## Features - Compatibility : Perfect for Windows, macOS, and Linux - Versatility : Use as external storage or for NAS backup - Expansion : Easily increase your QNAP NAS capacity - Flexibility : Supports up to 2 x 2.5"/3.5" SATA drives - Advanced Options : Hardware RAID 0, 1, JBOD, and individual disk support - Convenience : Includes USB Type-C to Type-A connector cable - Security : Features lockable drive bays ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BVCXFMDH | | Additional Features | LED Light | | Best Sellers Rank | #271 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | QNAP | | Built-In Media | Drive tray keys x 2, Power Adapter, Power Cord x 1, Screws for 2.5-inch drives x 6, Screws for 3.5-inch drives x 8, TR-002 external RAID enclosure, USB Cable, USB cable clip x 1 | | Color | Diskless | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 53 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 7200 megabytes_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 2000 GB | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | Diskless | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.2 Gen 2 | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Manufacturer | QNAP | | Media Speed | 937.5 to 1000 MB/s | | Mfr Part Number | TR-002-A-US | | Model Name | TR-002-A-US | | Model Number | TR-002-A-US | | Number of Items | 1 | | Special Feature | LED Light | | UPC | 885022025749 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 year warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** QNAP - **Color:** Diskless - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 2000 GB - **Hard Disk Description:** Diskless - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** LED Light ## Images ![QNAP TR-002-A-US 2 Bay USB Type-C Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with Hardware RAID (Diskless) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RgCuJAB3S.jpg) ![QNAP TR-002-A-US 2 Bay USB Type-C Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with Hardware RAID (Diskless) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716Bm+f6C7S.jpg) ![QNAP TR-002-A-US 2 Bay USB Type-C Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with Hardware RAID (Diskless) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71E9JYcMsaL.jpg) ![QNAP TR-002-A-US 2 Bay USB Type-C Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with Hardware RAID (Diskless) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718RE-Ix6qL.jpg) ![QNAP TR-002-A-US 2 Bay USB Type-C Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with Hardware RAID (Diskless) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D2dBR8iKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many 4tb disks does tr-004-44r-us include?** A: None. It's the RAID controller and enclosure only. you buy the disks separately in the size of your choosing. I recommend that you use one of the following models: WD Red, WD Gold , WD Purple, Seagate Ironwolf, or Seagate Skyhawk. These drives are made for use in RAID arrays, and will give you far fewer issues with the array loosing sync and having to rebuild. I'm using WD Red drives in a RAID 5 configuration in mine and love them. I've had the array up and running for almost a year and have never had any problems at all. Make sure to use 4 drives of the same size, make, and model for best performance and reliability. **Q: Is it possible to password protect this device?** A: Not native to the device. It is just an external USB drive array. It can be managed from a QNAP NAS and you can password protect data from within the app, but you cannot password protect the actual drive itself. **Q: I can leave this turn on 24/7 like any other nas like synology units? note: i know this is a das not a nas** A: I don't have this model, but yes to your answer. You can leave it on 24/7/365 if you want. whatever you have it connected to will control it and put it in sleep mode when not in use. **Q: 1. Can I plug this into my pc to expand its storage? 2. Can I use this with a c to usb adapter as my pc does not have a c slot** A: 1. Yes. You might/probably need to download their management software 2. Don't need an adapter because the PC connection is via a common USB type A plug. The "C" end plugs into the device. It's kind of short though. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hardware Based RAID 1 *by R***N on February 5, 2024* This enclosure worked for WD16tb drives in raid 1 array.

I originally bought the 4-bay TR-004, and it arrived completely dead. I returned it and ordered the 2-bay TR-002, only to experience the exact same failure right out of the box. The enclosure simply refuses to establish a USB connection. The USB light stays completely unlit, and it is not recognized by any computer. I extensively tested this across 4 different machines, including my HP EliteDesk, 2 laptops, and a Mac, using multiple cables. The computers never even register a handshake. To make sure I was not crazy, I pulled my hard drives out and plugged them into a basic Sabrent docking station, and they work perfectly fine. I even tried a hardware master reset on the QNAP unit, but the internal controller would not even boot up to register the command. Running into the exact same hardware lockout across two completely different models points to a serious quality control issue. Save yourself the time and look at a different brand, because I am sending this straight back for a refund. ## Frequently Bought Together - QNAP TR-002-A-US 2 Bay USB Type-C Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with Hardware RAID (Diskless) - Western Digital 2TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD2002FFSX - Seagate IronWolf 4TB NAS Internal Hard Drive CMR 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 5400 RPM 64MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage Rescue Services (ST4000VNZ06/006) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/530147829-qnap-tr-002-a-us-2-bay-usb-type-c](https://www.desertcart.in/products/530147829-qnap-tr-002-a-us-2-bay-usb-type-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
