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.

2.5GbE NAS is a must in 2024
With increasing availability on switches, motherboards, and laptops, 2023 is the year of 2.5GbE.

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.

QM2 card - QM2-2P10G1TB
Add a 10GbE port and two M.2 SSD slots at the same time.

QM2 card - QM2-2P-344A
Add two M.2 SSDs to create a storage pool with larger capacity caching with the built in M.2 SSDs.

Wi-Fi 6 adapter
Install a Wi-Fi 6 adapter to turn the TS-264 into a Wi-Fi NAS, allowing accessing NAS data via wireless network.

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.
