TS-264
Bye-bye Gigabit NAS, hello 2.5GbE NAS.
TS-264 is a compact 2-bay NAS with superior performance. Supporting up to 24 TB storage and 4 TB M.2 SSD caching* at an affordable price, the TS-264 fulfills your multitasking challenges for file management, backup, collaboration, and video conversion.
The TS-264 uses the QTS operating system by default. You will be able to switch to using the QuTS hero operating system. QuTS hero provides benefits such as ZFS data integrity and WORM technology to prevent data tampering. (Switching to QuTS hero is supported starting from QTS 5.2.1.)
- 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.

Upgrade to dual-port 10GbE with a PCIe network card
With a superior hardware design, you can install a dual-port 10GbE network card QXG-10G2TB in the TS-264. Combining 10GbE networking, quad-core processor, and M.2 SSD caching, the TS-264 unleashes its full performance potential.
Expand storage capacity up to 14 hard drives
TS-264 supports a storage capacity of up to 24 TB by installing two 3.5-inch 24 TB hard drives in RAID 1. By connecting a TL-D1600S QNAP storage expansion unit, you can add an additional fourteen hard drives to the TS-264 to achieve up to 280 TB storage space to meet growing storage requirements.
Accelerate AI–powered image recognition and caching with TPU and PCIe expansion
TS-264 has two M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots for installing NVMe SSD (including Apacer®, Micron®, Seagate®, WD®, and more) or Edge TPU.
M.2 SSDs are sold separately. As M.2 SSD operations can easily generate excessive heat, it is recommended to install a heatsink on M.2 SSDs.
2 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots
-
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.
