Single Disk Mode
You can treat each disk in your TL-D800C as an individual storage space, and also use it as a removable drive. It can function like a high-capacity disk-drive reader. When one of disk reaches data storage limitation, you can remove it and put it into a dry box. Then, swap a different disk into the TL-D800C empty drive slot. After that, you can install the disk that reached full data capacity into the TL-D800C and connect it with a computer or NAS for direct file access.
Versatile Usage Scenarios to Meet Storage Expansion Needs
The TL-D800C meets many storage expansion requirements for the home and office. Below is a list of potential usage scenarios.
Scenario 1: Expand Your NAS Capacity
The TL-D800C provides an alternative method for users to expand their NAS storage capacity.
