The QNAP TS-464EU-8G-EU is a powerful and compact short-depth 1U rackmount NAS engineered for businesses and edge environments that require high performance in limited space. With a depth of just 11.57 inches, this 4-bay NAS fits easily into small network cabinets and shallow racks, making it ideal for retail, offices, surveillance, and remote site deployments.
At the core of the TS-464EU is an Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core 2.0 GHz (burst up to 2.9 GHz) processor, paired with 8GB DDR4 RAM for smooth multitasking, fast file access, and efficient application hosting. The NAS delivers excellent performance for SMB workloads such as file sharing, virtualization (lightweight), backup/restore, collaboration, and media streaming.
Dual 2.5GbE RJ45 ports significantly enhance network throughput, enabling up to 5 Gbps aggregated bandwidth with link aggregation — ideal for large data transfers, multi-user access, and faster backup speeds. The system also features two M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 slots, providing options for SSD caching or tiered storage to accelerate random I/O performance.
A built-in PCIe Gen3 x2 slot further enhances scalability, allowing upgrades such as 10GbE network cards, USB expansion cards, or QNAP’s AI accelerator cards. This ensures the NAS can evolve as storage, performance, or network demands grow.
The TS-464EU supports a wide range of professional features including block-level snapshots, RAID protection, cloud backup integration, Windows/Mac/Linux file sharing, virtualization via LXC/containers, and QNAP’s app ecosystem (QVR Elite, Hybrid Backup Sync, QuMagie, Qsirch, and more). With AES-NI encryption, data remains securely protected without compromising read/write speed.
Compact, quiet, and built for intensive workloads, the TS-464EU-8G-EU is an ideal solution for small businesses and distributed edge environments seeking high-speed storage and reliable data protection in a space-saving rackmount design.
