QNAP launched the 4-bay TS-464 and 6-bay TS-664 quad-core 2.5 GbE NAS. With M.2 NVMe SSD slots, PCIe Gen 3 expandability for 10 GbE or 5 GbE connectivity, and 4K HDMI output, the TS-x64 enables installing a QM2 card for M.2 SSD caching but also convenient virtual machine display and smooth multimedia streaming.
"By integrating Intel's Celeron high-performance processor and providing 2.5 GbE speeds, M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots and PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots, QNAP's TS-x64 includes cutting-edge hardware to fulfill high-bandwidth data transmission and virtualization applications," said Meiji Chang, General Manager of QNAP. "We are excited to see QNAP adopt the latest Intel Celeron N5105/N5095 quad-core processors for its new NAS series, allowing SMB users to take advantage of the flexible I/O and performance capabilities of the processor for their performance-demanding applications," said Jason Ziller, General Manager, Client Connectivity Division at Intel Corporation.
The TS-x64 is powered by an Intel Celeron N5105/ N5095 quad-core 4-thread processor (burst up to 2.9 GHz) with Intel AES-NI encryption engine and support for up to 16 GB dual-channel memory. The TS-x64 has two 2.5 GbE ports, two USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) ports, and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports that provide faster data transfer and backup. With the M.2 PCIe Gen3 slot, the TS-x64 enables cache acceleration or SSD storage pools for improved performance. The TS-x64 has a PCIe Gen 3 slot allowing installing a 10GbE network card, a QM2 card for NVMe SSD caching or Qtier. The TS-x64's storage capacity can be expanded by connecting TL and TR storage expansion enclosures.
The TS-x64 adopts the latest QTS 5.0 operating system and includes rich NAS home/business applications: HBS (Hybrid Backup Sync) realizes efficient local/remote/cloud backup jobs; Block-based snapshots make data protection and recovery easier and effectively mitigates the threat of ransomware; HybridMount provides cloud storage gateways that integrate private and public cloud storage and enable local caching; Virtualization Station and Container Station enable light virtualization applications; QVR Elite helps deploy a cutting-edge smart surveillance system. To help fight against cyber threats, the TS-x64 provides authentication management, QVPN (Supporting WireGuard), Malware Remover, and Security Counselor for enhanced NAS security. Home users will also enjoy the wide range of multimedia applications (including Plex), streaming capabilities, and a built-in HDMI port, which allows them to enjoy their multimedia on their device of choice.
