QNAP QGD-1600-4G-US

Overview

The QNAP QGD-1600-4G-US is a versatile network appliance that combines a fully managed 14-port Gigabit switch with a two-bay NAS in a single chassis. Powered by an Intel Celeron J4115 processor and 4GB of DDR4 memory (expandable to 8GB), it supports flexible connectivity and storage options for small businesses, home studios, or advanced labs. This device simplifies network management and data storage by integrating routing, protection, and file sharing into one compact unit.

Key features

• Fourteen Gigabit Ethernet ports plus two combo RJ45 or SFP ports provide flexible options for copper or fiber uplinks, accommodating diverse network setups.
• Runs QTS operating system, enabling virtual machine and container hosting directly on the switch for added functionality beyond basic networking.
• Supports VLAN tagging, Quality of Service (QoS), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) through an intuitive web interface to optimize traffic management and bandwidth prioritization.
• Two PCIe slots allow hardware upgrades such as faster network adapters or SSD caching cards to enhance throughput and reduce latency.
• Includes an HDMI output for direct video monitoring or to display dashboards, which is useful for troubleshooting or live demonstrations.
• Energy-efficient design with a maximum power consumption of 100W, making it suitable for office racks, branch sites, or home labs where power use is a consideration.
• Two 2.5-inch SATA drive bays provide shared storage for backups, file sharing, or lightweight media streaming, consolidating storage needs within the network device.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
