Multi-gigabit networking and supplied throughput

Two built-in 2.5GbE ports move beyond standard Gigabit connectivity and support 2.5G, 1G, 100M and 10M network speeds. The supplied information states that port trunking can deliver transfer speeds of up to 589MB/s.

  • Wake on LAN and Jumbo Frame support are listed.
  • Optional 5GbE or 10GbE networking can be added through a compatible PCIe expansion card.
  • Actual performance depends on hardware configuration and network conditions.

Multitasking, video conversion and direct display

The Intel® Celeron® N5095 four-core processor, Intel® UHD Graphics and hardware-accelerated transcoding support multiple NAS tasks and video conversion.

  • The HDMI™ 2.1 output supports resolutions up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz.
  • The supplied configuration includes 8GB SODIMM DDR4 memory and supports up to 16GB.
  • An optional QNAP RM-IR004 remote control is listed for the built-in IR sensor.

M.2, PCIe and USB expansion

Two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots support SSD cache acceleration without occupying the two SATA drive bays. One PCIe Gen 3 x2 slot supports compatible network or storage expansion cards.

  • Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports provide 10Gbps external connectivity.
  • A compatible QM2 card can add more M.2 SSD slots.
  • The supplied content lists optional 5GbE and 10GbE upgrades through PCIe.

QTS and QuTS hero options

The TS-264 uses QTS by default. The supplied information states that switching to QuTS hero is supported from QTS 5.2.1, providing ZFS data-integrity and WORM functions.

Important buying and storage notes

  • The NAS is supplied without hard drives or SSDs.
  • The source capacity example uses two 24TB hard drives in RAID 1 and two 2TB M.2 SSDs, all purchased separately.
  • M.2 SSDs are not hot-swappable; the SATA drive bays are hot-swappable.
  • When a top M.2 heatsink is installed, the recommended dimensions are less than 68 × 20 × 10mm.
