SilentNAS 2-bay desktop NAS

The Qnap HS-264-8G-US is a diskless two-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel Celeron N5105 four-core processor bursting to 2.9 GHz with 8 GB of soldered memory. It targets home users and small offices that want a personal cloud for backup and media streaming without fan noise.

Tool-free drive trays and 60 W adapter

Installation uses tool-free trays that accept 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA SSDs; the 60 W external adapter plugs into 100-240 V mains. The only common issue is forgetting that the single memory slot is already populated to the 8 GB maximum, so no RAM upgrade is possible.

16 TB raw capacity for media libraries

Two bays support up to 16 TB of raw storage, enough for large photo, video and music collections served over a local network. The Celeron N5105 handles transcoding of a few simultaneous streams but will bottleneck heavier multi-user workloads or virtualisation tasks.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Intel Celeron N5105 processor is running at its 2.9 GHz burst speed after setup?

Open the QTS Resource Monitor and watch the CPU frequency graph while running a workload; it should show peaks at 2.9 GHz when the 4-core processor hits its burst limit.

The box says diskless — which drives must I buy separately and what sizes fit the two bays?

You need to supply 3.5" SATA HDDs, 2.5" SATA HDDs or 2.5" SATA SSDs; each bay accepts one drive up to the 16 TB total capacity limit.

Should I choose the 8 GB model or is there a larger memory version for heavier workloads?

This unit ships with 8 GB soldered memory and the maximum capacity is also 8 GB, so there is no higher-RAM variant to select.
