The Arrival of the TS-464 and TS-664 NAS drives, even if they are potentially still a little way from full release, is going to make a number of buyers who purchased the TS-453D or TS-653D recently (or were just about to pull the trigger and buy them) pause and think about whether they should buy the current NAS or wait for the new thing. Overall, the extended capabilities of this CPU and this chipset of the TS-464 and TS-664 have been hugely extended in how this system arrives in the hardware department! Let’s talk about how the TS-464 compares with the still currently available TS-453D NAS from 2020. The system also features an HDMI 2.0 Port (4K 60FPS) which although is pretty widely available in the last couple of years of QNAP releases, is still a welcome addition and also means that those USB 2.0 ports that I would normally be highly critical of (which I am happy to overlook thanks to those USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports) are actually useful for a KVM setup with the HDMI out. Not only is this something we have not seen much of the Prosumer/SMB tier outside of Ryzen systems till now, but the fact that the front port is a one-touch copy button and is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port is going to be remarkably interesting to users who like to maintain a local USB backup on their much, much bigger storage volumes via Hybrid Backup Sync and more. The other interesting and unique addition to the TS-464 and TS-664 is the inclusion of USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (10Gb or 1,000MB/s performance to a supported storage device). So, it is worth remembering that their use for raw storage pools will not match their use in a desktop PC PCIe Gen 3 x4 M.2 SSD Slot. However, it is important to note that these slots (likely down to the architecture of that CPU and how many hardware services it can be extended towards) are PCIe Gen 3 x1 in architecture (i.e 1,000MB/s in architecture). Those used in conjunction with the 2.5GbE connectivity or with a PCIe card with 1-2 10GbE ports (again, fully supported by the TS-464 or TS-664 thanks to that PCIe Gen 3 x2 bandwidth) are going to mean that these NAS systems have some of the best potential internal AND external throughput of any MID-RANGE 4-6-Bay ever released. These allow you to install two significantly faster SSDs inside that can be used for caching for the larger RAID storage array, can be used as tiered storage (creating a single storage area that comprises the mixed media types and stores appropriate data onto the media that best suits it) and even supports their use as a RAID enabled separate storage pool. This CPU brings a lot of PCI lanes and architectural advantages to this system and it is largely thanks to that and sensible divisions that these two NAS also feature 2x 2.5G network connectivity and PCIe upgradability that is larger in bandwidth (double, with 2,000MB vs 1,000MB) than it’s predecessor.Īnother big area of improvement in the new TS-464 and TS-664 NAS Drives from QNAP is that these systems arrive with 2 M.2 NVMe SSD bays internally. Arriving with a quad-core architecture at 2.0-2.7Ghz clock speed per core and an onboard embedded graphics engine, this CPU also supports upto 16GB of memory across two slots (with the QNAP TS-464/TS-664 featuring 2666Mhz memory from ADATA). The TS-464 and TS-664 NAS arrive with the N5105 or N5095 Processor (because the pandemic and semiconductor shortages made a mess of how Intel refreshes their ranges and this range is now made up with several sub revisions) which is a noticeable jump in power, proficiency and even its rating on CPU benchmark. So, the first thing worth highlighting is the new Intel CPU refresh. Let’s go! The QNAP TS-464 and TS-664 NAS – Hardware Specificationsįor dual DIMM configurations, identical pairs of DDR4 modules must be used. Let’s discuss everything we know about the TS-圆4 series 4 and 6 bay, as well as how they compare with the TS-X53D series and whether you should sit on the fence till they are released, or opt for something available right now. Even at a casual glance, these are almost certainly the new version of their flagship series (though details on a 2-Bay TS-264 are still unpublished), these new NAS systems may look on the face of it as the same NAS with a paint job (changing grey out for rose/gold copper) but even a casual look at the specifications, ranging from the CPU, Memory, Storage, Ports and expandability immediately show these new TS-464 and TS-664 systems have taken all of the hardware choices of their earlier revisions (the TS-453D and TS-653D) and doubled down on a number of them. QNAP has now finally started sharing details of their prosumer/SMB 4/6-Bay for 2022 with the soon to be arriving TS-464 and TS-664 NAS Drives. 8.2 Related The QNAP TS-464 and TS-664 NAS Coming Soon
