QNAP E1.S to Single 10Gb LAN Module

The QNAP QXG-ES10G1T is a plug-in network module that turns an E1.S drive bay inside the QNAP TS-h765eU into a fast 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. By reclaiming space that would otherwise stay empty, it helps a storage administrator boost total network bandwidth without adding an external expansion card or taking up a valuable PCIe slot.

Inside the module, a Marvell AQtion AQC113 controller links to the system over PCIe 3.0 x4 and offers up to 32 Gbps of back-end throughput. On the front, a standard RJ-45 jack supports five speeds—10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M—so it adapts automatically to the existing switch or cable run. Using CAT-6 or better cabling, the port delivers the full 10 GbE performance demanded by large backups, multi-user virtualization, and high-resolution media workflows.

Installation is designed for busy IT rooms where every minute counts. Slide the module into an available E1.S bay, secure it with the bay latch, connect the network cable, and power on the NAS. No additional tools, drivers, or firmware updates are required when the system runs QTS 5.x or QuTS hero h5.x. The result is a clean upgrade path that preserves the neat, rack-mount form factor of the TS-h765eU while unlocking new network headroom.

Whether you manage a small creative studio that edits 4K files directly from the NAS or an enterprise branch office that needs faster virtual machine storage, the QXG-ES10G1T offers a cost-effective way to add 10 GbE connectivity without re-architecting the entire network stack.
