help QNAP TL-R800C FAQ
Is QNAP TL-R800C the official name of the eight-bay model?
QNAP's official 2020 release names the eight-bay desktop model TL-D800C and the rackmount model TL-R1200C-RP. Because it does not name an eight-bay TL-R800C in that release, buyers should verify the label before relying on the catalog entry.
