The QNAP TS-464 brings four SATA bays, dual 2.5GbE networking and an Intel quad-core processor together in a compact tower. Separate M.2 NVMe slots and PCIe expansion leave room to refine performance as your workload changes. It is a practical platform for a small office, creative workspace or home lab that needs shared access, scheduled backups and more choice over storage layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage That Fits Your Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 hot-swappable SATA bays for compatible hard disks or SATA SSDs, with drives supplied separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo dedicated M.2 NVMe slots for SSD storage or supported cache configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Faster Shared Workspace\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 2.5GbE ports for supported multi-link configurations or separate network connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Celeron N5095 quad-core processing with 8GB DDR4 memory supplied.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptions Beyond File Sharing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe expansion for a supported network or storage upgrade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQTS applications for backup, synchronisation, media and virtualised workloads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage with Room to Plan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour SATA bays give you more freedom to balance usable capacity with drive-failure tolerance. You can plan mirrored storage or a suitable parity-based RAID arrangement, while retaining the two M.2 slots for SSD workloads. Decide the required usable space and recovery priorities before choosing drives; adding more disks is not a substitute for keeping an independent backup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNetworking Built Around Shared Access\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 2.5GbE Ethernet ports help remove a common bottleneck when compatible computers and switches are ready for faster networking. Use them for supported port-trunking configurations or separate network connections. Combining links requires the appropriate network and client setup; it does not turn one ordinary 2.5GbE connection into a 5GbE connection. Actual file-transfer speed also depends on the drives, file sizes and workload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Dedicated Place for SSD Workloads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots let you add compatible NVMe SSDs without occupying the SATA bays. Use supported SSD cache or storage-pool configurations to suit frequently accessed files and applications. QTS also offers Qtier for compatible tiered-storage arrangements. Select suitable SSDs and cooling for the workload, and power the NAS down before installing or removing M.2 storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKeep Work Organised and Backups Deliberate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentralised shared folders give Windows, Mac and Linux users a common place for authorised files. Qsync helps keep working folders synchronised, while Hybrid Backup Sync can schedule copies to another NAS, supported cloud storage or a USB destination. Time Machine support provides a Mac backup option. Set permissions, retention and recovery checks deliberately so that a backup is useful when you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose the Operating System Before You Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQTS provides a familiar app-based environment for shared storage and everyday NAS tasks. QuTS hero is also supported for a ZFS-based deployment, with different storage features and memory requirements. It requires at least 8GB RAM, and inline deduplication requires at least 16GB. Changing between the systems erases and reinitialises storage, so make a complete external backup and follow the manufacturer’s migration procedure before switching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Possibilities for Your Workspace\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntel UHD Graphics and one HDMI 2.1 output supporting up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz provide options for supported local-display and media applications. Virtualization Station and Container Station can run suitable virtual machines or containers, subject to available memory and application requirements. Media codecs, guest operating systems and surveillance functions may need separate software or licences. Plan these workloads alongside file services rather than treating the NAS as an unlimited replacement for a dedicated server.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical Connections and a Clear Upgrade Path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCIe Gen 3 x2 slot accepts supported expansion cards, including compatible faster-networking or additional SSD options. Check the card dimensions and the NAS compatibility list before purchase; the slot is not a promise of full bandwidth for every card. Two 10Gbps USB Type-A ports and USB One Touch Copy support convenient transfers to or from suitable external storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild Protection into the Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRAID can help maintain access after a drive failure, and snapshots can help recover earlier file versions when configured appropriately. Neither replaces an independent backup. Keep the NAS and applications updated, use individual accounts and multi-factor authentication where supported, and avoid exposing administration directly to the internet. A separate, up-to-date copy of important files remains essential for hardware failure, accidental deletion and ransomware recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSurveillance with Clear Channel Entitlements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecord compatible IP cameras with a supported QVR installation. QVR Pro includes eight recording channels. Current QVR Surveillance provides two standard channels plus six more after QNAP-ID activation, giving eight free channels in that application. Larger systems need the matching channel licences and a storage, network and workload assessment. Choose camera compatibility, bitrate, retention and playback requirements together; free channel counts are not a promise that every camera quality or workload will run at the same capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TS-464 is a versatile four-bay platform for shared work, backup routines and a growing media collection. Its dual 2.5GbE connections, dedicated NVMe slots and PCIe expansion help you improve the parts of the system that matter to your workload. Configure the drives and operating system carefully, then protect the result with a separate, tested backup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"ace-article-faq\" aria-labelledby=\"ace-qnap-ts-464-copy-faq-title\"\u003e\u003ch3 id=\"ace-qnap-ts-464-copy-faq-title\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"ace-form-disclosure\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"ace-form-title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-title-text\"\u003eAre Hard Disks or SSDs Included?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-toggle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-expand\"\u003eExpand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-collapse\"\u003eCollapse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-chevron\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ace-form-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The TS-464 is supplied as a diskless NAS. Choose compatible 3.5-inch SATA hard disks or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs for the main bays, and compatible M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs if required. Check the exact drive model against QNAP’s compatibility list.
