QNAP QXG-ES10G1T

Overview

The QNAP QXG-ES10G1T is a network expansion module designed to convert an E1.S drive bay in compatible QNAP NAS devices into a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. It leverages a Marvell AQtion AQC113 controller with PCIe 3.0 x4 connectivity, providing up to 32 Gbps back-end throughput. This module supports multiple network speeds, including 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M, making it adaptable to various network environments and cabling standards.

Key features

• Enables 10 GbE and NBASE-T speeds through a single RJ-45 port, enhancing network bandwidth without external cards.
• Utilizes PCIe 3.0 x4 interface for high data transfer rates up to 32 Gbps, ensuring smooth handling of large backups and virtualization tasks.
• Supports five network speeds to automatically adjust to existing switches and cables, providing flexibility in mixed-speed environments.
• Tool-free installation that fits into an E1.S bay, preserving the NAS’s compact rack-mount design and saving valuable PCIe slots.
• Driver-free operation with QTS 5.x or QuTS hero h5.x, simplifying setup and minimizing downtime in busy IT environments.

Key specs

• Controller: Marvell AQtion AQC113
• Host interface: PCIe 3.0 x4
• Back-end throughput: up to 32 Gbps
• Network port: 1 x RJ-45
• Supported speeds: 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, 100M

Connectivity and compatibility

This module is designed specifically for QNAP NAS models equipped with an E1.S slot, such as the TS-h765eU. The RJ-45 port supports standard Ethernet cables, with CAT-6 or better recommended to achieve full 10 GbE speeds. Its multi-speed capability ensures seamless integration with existing network infrastructure, whether upgrading to 10 GbE or operating at lower speeds for compatibility.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward and efficient, requiring no additional tools or driver installations when used with QTS 5.x or QuTS hero h5.x operating systems. Simply slide the module into an available E1.S bay, secure it with the bay latch, connect the network cable, and power on the NAS. This process minimizes downtime and keeps your rack setup clean and organized.

Ideal uses and environments

The QXG-ES10G1T is well suited for environments that demand higher network throughput without expanding the physical footprint of the NAS. It works well in small creative studios handling 4K video editing directly from the NAS, enterprise branch offices requiring faster virtual machine storage, and any setup where maximizing network speed within existing hardware constraints is a priority. This module offers a cost-effective upgrade path for boosting network performance without complex reconfiguration.

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.
