Description: TS-264 is a compact 2-bay NAS with superior performance. Supporting up to 22 TB storage and 4 TB M.2 SSD
Intel Celeron N5095 4-core/4-thread processor, burst up to 2.9 GHz, 8 GB RAM
TS-264 is a compact 2-bay NAS with superior performance. Supporting up to 22 TB storage and 4 TB M.2 SSD caching* at an affordable price, the TS-264 fulfills your multitasking challenges for file management, backup, collaboration, and video conversion.
2.5GbE is a must!
TS-264 is as fast as a single-port 10GbE NAS with up to 589 MB/s transfer speeds by setting port trunking with the two built-in 2.5GbE (2.5G/1G/100M) ports.
Quad-core for multitasking
Perform additional tasks, stream more media, and have more services running with an Intel® quad-core processor optimized for multitasking.
Smooth video conversion
Built-in GPU for enhanced video conversion, allowing videos to be smoothly streamed from the NAS to mobile devices.
Upgrade to dual-port 10GbE
Futureproof your network connection by installing a PCIe dual-port 10GbE network card that delivers up to 1,644 MB/s transfer speed.
Faster USB transfer
Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports allow faster backup to/from USB devices.
More M.2 NVMe SSDs
If two M.2 slots aren’t enough, install a QM2 PCIe expansion card for more M.2 SSD slots.
Upgrade to dual-port 10GbE with a PCIe network card
With a superior hardware design, you can install a dual-port 10GbE network card QXG-10G2TB in the TS-264. Combining 10GbE networking, quad-core processor, and M.2 SSD caching, the TS-264 unleashes its full performance potential.
Expand storage capacity up to 14 hard drives
TS-264 supports a storage capacity of up to 22 TB by installing two 3.5-inch 22 TB hard drives in RAID 1. By connecting a TL-D1600S QNAP storage expansion unit, you can add an additional fourteen hard drives to the TS-264 to achieve up to 240 TB storage space to meet growing storage requirements.
Accelerate AI–powered image recognition and caching with TPU and PCIe expansion
TS-264 has two M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots for installing NVMe SSD (including Apacer®, Micron®, Seagate®, WD®, and more) or Edge TPU.***M.2 SSDs are sold separately. As M.2 SSD operations can easily generate excessive heat, it is recommended to install a heatsink on M.2 SSDs.
Install M.2 NVMe SSDs for cache acceleration or efficient tiered storage
If you have a huge number of small files requiring read/write operations, you can easily boost IOPS of TS-264 by configuring its two M.2 SSDs as a cache disk. When transmitting bigger files, you can create a storage pool with two M.2 SSDs. With Qtier automatically moving hot data to SSD and cold data to hard drives, TS-264 allows you to enjoy exceptional application performance.
Accelerate AI–powered image recognition with TPU
By leveraging a Edge TPU to QNAP AI Core (the AI-powered engine for image recognition), the TS-264 can perform high-speed face and object recognition. Edge TPU enables QuMagie to quickly process thousands of photos with high-speed AI Image recognition and classification, and QVR Face to analyze real-time video for instant facial recognition.
Abundant I/O capabilities with PCIe expansion
QNAP offers a wide range of expansion cards to add versatile functions to your NAS. The TS-264 has one PCIe Gen 3 x2 slot that supports various expansion cards for expanding application potential.
One Touch Copy backup with USB 3.2 Gen 2
TS-264 provides two 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for faster file transfer to/from USB 3.2 Gen 2 devices. The One Touch Copy button also allows you to back up the contents of USB devices to the TS-264 with a single button press.
Smoother mobile experience with GPU
Taking a lot of photos with your smartphone? Qfile mobile app will help you free up space by automatically backing up photos to the TS-264.
