Qnap M.2, SATA, SAS, IDE and SCSI Controller Cards

M.2, SATA, SAS, IDE and SCSI cards are the means by which you can attach various forms of storage to your motherboard as follows:

• An SCSI or SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) card can be used to connect one or more SCSI devices to a computer bus.
• An IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) card allows you to connect devices such as HDDs, floppy drives or CD-ROM drives to your motherboard. 
• A SATA card adds extra SATA ports for connecting hard drives/SSDs/optical drives to your motherboard. 
• M.2 cards allow you to add or relocate M.2 drives to your motherboard.

In other words, if you’re going to be adding a whole lot of new storage to your system, then you may need one of the cards or adapters listed on this page.

You’ll find that we stock a range of adapter cards from manufacturers including StarTech, Broadcom, Lenovo, Synology and many more.
