QNAP TS-264-8G 2‑Bay NAS – Celeron 2.9 GHz, 8 GB RAM, Dual 2.5 GbE, M.2×2, PCIe, Tower, 3‑Yr Warranty

The QNAP TS-264-8G is a compact tower‑style NAS designed for small‑to‑medium businesses that need reliable, high‑performance storage without the footprint of a rack unit. Powered by an Intel Celeron N5095 quad‑core processor (2.9 GHz boost) and 8 GB DDR4 memory, it delivers smooth multitasking for file services, virtualisation, and multimedia streaming. Dual 2.5 GbE ports provide up to 2.5 Gbps per link, ensuring rapid data transfers across the network, while two M.2 (M & B) slots let you add SSD cache to accelerate read/write workloads. With two hot‑swap SATA III bays supporting 2.5" or 3.5" HDD/SSD drives, the TS‑264‑8G offers flexible RAID configurations (0, 1, JBOD) and a hot‑spare option for continuous data protection. The built‑in PCIe x2 Gen 3 slot enables future expansion such as additional 10 GbE cards or NVMe adapters. QNAP’s QTS operating system, accessible via any modern browser, provides intuitive management, snapshot backup, and comprehensive security features including 256‑bit AES encryption and ACL controls. All of this is backed by a three‑year warranty and a low‑power 65 W external PSU, making it an energy‑efficient cornerstone for Australian businesses.
