TS-264-8G-US 2 Bay High-Performance Desktop NAS with Intel Celeron Quad-core Processor, M.2 PCIe Slots and Dual 2.5GbE (2.5G/1G/100M) Network Connectivity (Diskless)

I'm using this for a media server and personal backup. It has exceeded my expectations. It's easy to use and has loads of apps to accomplish whatever you may want. QNAP has put out videos walking you through just about anything you may need to do, which really helped me with setup. They've also got helpful forums and tools on their site for picking out good HDDs and such. As someone else pointed out, it's supposed to have soldered RAM, but there are indeed 2 removable slots for RAM with 8GB already on board. I thought about upping that to 16GB, but I really haven't experienced any need. Even playing gigantic 4K movies on Plex has been effortless, and I haven't even installed my M.2 yet. It took me awhile to land on this QNAP for my media server, but I'm glad I went with it and not something more expensive or more troublesome to get started with. For me, this has been perfect.

I have just received the unit, and to my surprise (while installing NVME drives), the model I have received don't have RAM soldered into the motherboard, it has sodim slots just like a laptop, so it's upgradable (max is 16gb supported by this CPU). I ordered an extra 8gb Crusial RAM stick, I'll install it and report back.

Es un excelente equipo NAS, ademas llego perfectamente empacado y nuevo. Las características del equipo y la licencia de CCTV incluida hacen que tenga muchas funcionalidades. Agregarle una cache SSD, un TPU y un RAM serán de muchísimo provecho. Lo recomiendo mucho!

I am a home use/small business user and this is my second QNAP. My first is still fully functional after 5 years. The set-up was easy, installation of hardware was a snap. Within 3 days I was fully functional on all my connected devices. Video streams without a hiccup over mobile internet connections. QNAP support responds within a day via portal and are clear in their answers. It does have two RAM slots. I am currently running 24 GB RAM. per support it can hold up to 36 GB RAM which far exceeds my needs as it has m.2 and I do not use this as a plex server. I do stream a fair amount of video content for my teaching endeavors. 1 year update - As with all things some growing pains. QNAP always returned my support ticket and even set up a call. Although I can't stream videos as fast as I like (there is likely a way just not one I know) the NAS has been EXCELLENT. QNAP also has been EXCELLENT. It really just works and I forget about it yet still have the backup immediately available from my tablet or phone. Also I have video feeds save and synch from the studio. So when I get to the upstairs editing room the video is already on my workstation. No more transferring to USB sticks !!

I recently purchased the QNAP TS-264-8G-US 2 Bay High-Performance Desktop NAS, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. As someone who relies heavily on digital storage for both school and personal use, finding the right NAS was crucial. The TS-264 has been a game-changer. Build Quality and Setup: The NAS is solidly built, with a design that's both sleek and functional. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive QNAP software. The step-by-step instructions made the process smooth and hassle-free, even for someone not very tech-savvy. Storage and Expandability: The two-bay setup offers plenty of storage for my current needs, but I love the fact that I can expand the storage if needed. The flexibility to add more drives in the future is a huge plus. Support: On the one occasion I needed assistance, QNAP’s customer support was outstanding. They were knowledgeable, patient, and helped me resolve my query quickly. Conclusion: The QNAP TS-264-8G-US is an exceptional NAS that combines high performance, ease of use, and reliability. It's perfect for anyone looking for a dependable storage solution, be it for professional or personal use. Highly recommended!

Tolles Produkt, macht mehr als erwartet. Gute Leistungsmerkmale. Die RAM kann entgegen anderslautender Angaben auf 64 GB erhöht werden, nur darauf achten das keine fest verlötete RAM bestellt wird.

I wanted a NAS that could run Plex and store all my media like videos, pictures, music and provide easy access. I originally purchased the TS-262 without knowing about the 264. The 264 was well worth the extra 50-60 dollars. In this price range you can't beat the features. 4 bay (2 nvme & 2 sata slots), Quad-core cpu vs dual, 2x 2.5gb ethernet ports vs 1, built in ipgu for tanscoding, hdmi, pci slot, 8gb of ram vs 4gb. The only con is the nvme is pci express 3, and the ram cannot be upgraded, but since I'm not doing any Virtualization it doesn't bother me. 8gb of ram is plenty for plex. I've not had a single hiccup, I've been able to max allowed remote connections set to 12gb 1080p max using transcoding, along with 5 simultaneously internal network connected devices. Using around 60% resources. This was using hvec files. With h264 everything ran on direct and utilized 10-20% system resources, and with subtitles floated around 20-30%. 4k files were also not an issue when running on my home network. Using 1x 12tb ironwolf sata hdd with a 1tb WD nvme setup as an ssd cache. IMO if you're looking for a dedicated plex server/nas solution, this is finally it.
