QNAP TS-864EU-RP-8G 8-Bay 2.5GbE Rackmount NAS

The QNAP TS-864eU-RP-8G is a short-depth rackmount NAS built for small and medium businesses that need reliable, always-on networked storage without the footprint of a full-depth server. Its eight drive bays accommodate 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA drives, providing substantial raw capacity for centralized file storage, automated backups, and surveillance recording via QVR Pro. The Intel Celeron N5105/N5095 quad-core processor, bursting up to 2.9 GHz, paired with 8GB of DDR4 memory, handles everyday NAS operations including real-time 4K transcoding through the HDMI 1.4b output.

Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports support link aggregation, failover, or network segmentation, giving teams flexible options for balancing throughput and redundancy. Two M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x1 NVMe slots sit alongside the main drive bays, enabling SSD caching or dedicated SSD pools without sacrificing any of the eight primary bays. Multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports provide up to 10 Gbps connectivity for external storage expansion or fast one-time data imports. The redundant power supply design ensures that a single PSU failure does not take the NAS offline, and QNAP's snapshot-based ransomware protection adds a critical layer of data safety. Cloud backup integration with Boxafe covers Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts, making this unit a comprehensive on-premises data hub.
