Using two YouTube "how-to" guides, the QNAP was easy to set up, even for a NAS novice. It has been a revelation, both in terms of instant music access, handling large 500-900 song playlists, and being utterly unphased by large hi-res music files. The 24-bit upscaling of MP3s available via the latest version of Asset-uPnP (additional purchase) gives a noticeable sonic improvement. Recommended if you want to upgrade your music NAS. I bought this NAS to store all my music, replacing a 10+ year old Zoneripper NAS, which has been struggling with large, hi-res music files and big play-lists due to its limited RAM. I have c.700GB of music which I stream through a Linn Klimax DS over a domestic ethernet network. I fitted the QNAP with 2 x WD WD40EFZX Red Plus 4TB HDD set up as a RAID 1, and 2 x WD Red SN700 500GB NVMe SSD set up as a RAID 0 read-only Cache accelerator. My old NAS was set up by the shop I bought it from, so I'm a NAS novice, and I followed two YouTube videos to help with set up: MrTimTech: QNAP NAS - Easy Set-Up Guide Heads of Tech: QNAP NAS m.2 NVMe Install Guide | SSD Cache for MAX PERFORMANCE Using these videos got me through with no hiccups. Set-Up took about an hour, but then I waited 7 hours for the RAID 1 array to format. I had my music on a Western Digital Passport external drive, which I connected to the QNAP via the front USB-A slot and it took about four hours to copy across. The QNAP found the external drive almost instantly - I have read some people have had problems with this, but it worked straight away for me. Overall, installation and set-up took time and needed care from a novice like me, but I wouldn't chose a Synergy NAS over this because they are more "user friendly" - the QNAP is easy enough so long as you have some idea what you're doing. Finally, I bought a new copy of Asset-uPnP from Illustrate to manage my music library; there is a QNAP specific version on the Illustrate website and again, there are easy to follow instructions to set it up on the QNAP. In terms of performance, the QNAP has more-than-met my hopes. The Klimax DS found the Asset-uPnP library on my network instantly, and everything is super-fast and instant in terms of navigating the library and assembling play queues. Pages that took seconds to load are now instant, and whereas my old NAS would sometimes fail to load one big playlist I have (994 songs), the QNAP does it in about 3 seconds. Finally, while most of my music is stored as FLAC, the latest version of Asset-uPnP has the ability to upscale MP3s from 16-bit to 24-bit, resulting in a noticeable improvement in sound: MP3s are now almost indistinguishable from FLAC. The QNAP handles the upscaling easily. Overall, I'm very happy with this QNAP set-up, and frankly wish I'd made this change earlier. That said, while I think the NAS is good value for money (particularly compared to equivalent Synergy NAS), this whole set up cost nearly Β£800, including the NAS, the HDD and SSD drives and the Asset-uPnP software. I only hope that it lasts as long as my old NAS ! Review: Little power house - This is a small powerhouse of a NAS. For its size and cost its a brilliant piece of kit with room to expand, add SSD and faster network if required. Im running PLEX and VMs with no issues at all. 4k is smooth and transcodes are quick Its quiet, its quick, its well made. Its got plenty of options for connectivity and slots to add ssd/hdd for extra storage or backup as well as internal nvme slots and a slot for a card at the back Qnap is easy to use and set up and this is definitely worth the money ## Features - TS-264 / TS-464 / TS-664 are 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. - Perform additional tasks, stream more media, and have more services running with an Intel quad-core processor optimised for multitasking. - Built-in GPU for enhanced video conversion, allowing videos to be smoothly streamed from the NAS to mobile devices. - If two M.2 slots aren’t enough, install a QM2 PCIe expansion card for more M.2 SSD slots. - Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports allow faster backup to/from USB devices. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BJVX5K5R | | Best Sellers Rank | 54,033 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 33 in Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices | | Box Contents | 1 product | | Brand | QNAP | | Brand Name | QNAP | | Colour | gold | | Compatible Devices | [Server, Desktop, Network Devices] | | Compatible devices | [Server, Desktop, Network Devices] | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 222 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 10 Years | | Enclosure Material | Stainless Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04711103082331 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 20D x 49W x 50H centimetres | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | QNAP | | Manufacturer Part Number | TS-264-8G | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | TS-264-8G | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 20D x 49W x 50H centimetres | | Size | 20cm x 49cm x 50cm | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** QNAP - **Colour:** gold - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Product dimensions:** 20D x 49W x 50H centimetres - **Size:** 20cm x 49cm x 50cm ## Images ![QNAP TS-264-8G | 2-Bay, Intel Quad-core CPU, 2 x M.2 Slots, 2.5GbE Desktop NAS, 2-Bay 8GB RAM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/419BBFjYBrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it 4 bay 3.5** A: Yes, 4x 3.5 inch SATA 6 Gbps and also 2x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 slots **Q: Is this diskless or does it have disk alredy installed** A: Diskless **Q: In the information "about this item" it says intel celeron n5105/n5095. which one of the 2 processors is it?** A: I think with some products, chip shortages mean they can ship with alternative processors. **Q: If we install m.2 pcie nvme ssds in this qnap do they need heat sinks? is there room or should we buy just ssd by itself?** A: I haven't fitted M2s yet but I don't think they will need a heat sink. I presently have 3 SSDs. It's really reliable, not missed a beat yet ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent NAS for my music library (novice) *by T***E on 14 October 2025* TLDR: Bought to store c.700GB music collection, replacing a 10+ year old NAS.
