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 22 TB by installing two 3.5-inch 22 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 240 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.

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.

Accelerate AI–powered image recognition with TPU
By leveraging a Edge TPU to QNAP AI Core (the AI-powered engine for image recognition), the TS-264 can perform high-speed face and object recognition. Edge TPU enables QuMagie to quickly process thousands of photos with high-speed AI Image recognition and classification, and QVR Face to analyze real-time video for instant facial recognition.

Abundant I/O capabilities with PCIe expansion
QNAP offers a wide range of expansion cards to add versatile functions to your NAS. The TS-264 has one PCIe Gen 3 x2 slot that supports various expansion cards for expanding application potential.
