About QNAP TS-264

When seeking a high-performance, compact NAS solution, the QNAP TS-264 2-Bay High-Performance Desktop NAS Enclosure stands out with its robust capabilities and advanced features. Designed to meet the demands of multitasking environments, this NAS supports up to 24 TB of storage and 4 TB of M.2 SSD caching, making it an ideal choice for file management, backup, collaboration, and video conversion tasks.

The TS-264 operates on the QTS operating system, offering a user-friendly interface and seamless navigation. For enhanced data integrity and security, users can switch to the QuTS hero operating system, which provides ZFS data integrity and WORM technology to prevent data tampering. This switch is supported starting from QTS 5.2.1.

Equipped with dual 2.5GbE ports, the TS-264 delivers impressive transfer speeds of up to 589 MB/s, comparable to a single-port 10GbE NAS. This is achieved through port trunking, which enhances network potential and fault tolerance. The Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core processor, with a burst speed of up to 2.9 GHz, ensures smooth multitasking and efficient media streaming, supported by built-in Intel UHD Graphics for enhanced video conversion.

For those looking to future-proof their network, the TS-264 allows for the installation of a PCIe dual-port 10GbE network card, boosting transfer speeds up to 1,644 MB/s. Additionally, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports provide rapid data transfer to and from USB devices, while the option to expand M.2 NVMe SSD slots with a QM2 PCIe expansion card offers further flexibility.

The TS-264's storage capacity can be expanded significantly by connecting a TL-D1600S QNAP storage expansion unit, accommodating up to 14 additional hard drives for a total of 280 TB. This makes it a scalable solution for growing storage needs.

AI-powered image recognition and caching are accelerated with TPU and PCIe expansion capabilities, allowing for high-speed face and object recognition. The TS-264's abundant I/O capabilities are further enhanced by a PCIe Gen 3 x2 slot, supporting various expansion cards to extend its application potential.

The QTS 5 operating system provides a fast, smooth, and intuitive user experience, with features like a notice board for easy setup and a responsive user interface. For optimal data integrity, the TS-264 supports QuTS hero, offering end-to-end data integrity, WORM protection, and data reduction technologies.

Backup solutions are comprehensive, with support for PC and Mac backups, license-free VM backups, and SaaS business backup solutions. The TS-264 also facilitates remote replication and cloud storage gateway functions, ensuring data is securely backed up and easily accessible.

With smart storage features like snapshots for data protection and QNAP's exclusive apps for file storage and collaboration, the TS-264 boosts productivity and efficiency. Its compatibility with over 6,000 IP cameras makes it a professional-grade surveillance solution, further enhancing its versatility as a high-performance NAS enclosure.
