QNAP Dual M.2 22110/2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe SSD Expansion Card

The QNAP QM2-2P-344A is a PCIe expansion card that lets you add lightning-fast NVMe storage to your QNAP NAS, Windows workstation, or Linux server. By accepting two M.2 drives in the 22110 or 2280 form factor, it opens the door to SSD caching, auto-tiering, or a dedicated high-speed volume that can reach up to 32 Gb/s through its PCIe Gen3 x4 interface.

For IT administrators, the card is an easy way to give busy file servers extra IOPS, shaving seconds off database queries and virtual machine boot times. Creative professionals can drop it into a video-editing rig and use the SSDs as a scratch disk that keeps 4K timelines fluid. Home lab enthusiasts will appreciate how quickly the NAS responds when virtual machines, multimedia libraries, and backup jobs all hit the storage at once.

Built-in thermal sensors continuously watch drive temperatures, while a dedicated heatsink and low-profile fan move heat away without adding noticeable noise. This helps the SSDs sustain peak performance during long render jobs or heavy backup windows.

Installation is straightforward: slide the card into an available PCIe Gen3 x4 or x8 slot, secure your M.2 drives with the supplied screws, and the system detects the new storage immediately. The design matches a wide range of QNAP NAS models, so scaling capacity or accelerating existing volumes takes minutes instead of hours.
