QNAP TS-264-8G

TS-264 Intel-based quad-core 2.5GbE NAS with two ports supports M.2 SSD cache and PCIe expansion, enabling high-speed data transfer and virtualisation applications. Equipped with a quad-core Intel Celeron N5095 processor (clocked up to 2.9GHz), the TS-264 offers two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and port trunking for combined throughput of up to 5Gb/s. With M.2 PCIe Gen3 and PCIe Gen 3 slots, the TS-264 provides the flexibility to expand NAS functionality by allowing the installation of a QM2 card for M.2 SSD caching or Edge TPU for AI-based image recognition and various 10GbE/5GbE network cards. The TS-264 is equipped with 8GB RAM to support lightweight VMs and containers, and supports multi-cloud backup, cloud storage gateways, 4K HDMI output and real-time transcoding. It also provides expandable storage and feature-rich applications, acting as a cost-effective, reliable 2.5GbE NAS. 2.5GbE connectivity By setting up port trunking with two built-in 2.5GbE ports (2.5 G / 1 G / 100 M), transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps can be achieved. M.2 SSD cache Two M.2 PCIe Gen3 slots allow NVMe SSD cache or SSD storage pools to be activated for greater performance, or Edge TPU for AI-based image recognition. PCIe expandability By installing a PCIe Gen3 x2 card, you can expand the core functionality of the TS-264, including adding a 10GbE/5GbE/2.5GbE multi-gigabit network card, QM2 card or USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) card. Virtualised, licence-free environment Support for multiple containerised applications for different services and programmes. Automatic disk tiering Qtier automatic tiering technology and SSD cache ensure continuous storage optimisation. 4K HDMI Hardware 4K H.264 decoding and real-time transcoding ensures smooth media playback on the big screen.
