The TS-364 has a 2.5GbE port to enhance daily use and to run compact virtual machines and containers. Home users can also enjoy the multimedia portal capabilities of the TS-364 for streaming and sharing photos, music, and videos to all their devices. The TS-364 uses the QTS operating system by default. You will be able to switch to using the QuTS hero operating system. QuTS hero provides benefits such as ZFS data integrity and WORM technology to prevent data tampering. (Switching to QuTS hero is supported starting from QTS 5.2.1.) 2.5GbE connectivity Immediately multiply file transfer speeds by 2.5 times while using existing CAT5e cables. RAID 5 Build a secure RAID 5 array with three disks for optimized storage capacity and protection against one disk failing. USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) A USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) port enables fast file sharing and intensive data transfer. 4K HDMI™ output 4K H.264 hardware decoding and real-time transcoding for smooth big screen multimedia experience. Dual M.2 PCIe slots Dual M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots enable cache acceleration or SSD storage pools for improved performance, or Edge TPU for AI image recognition. SSD cache acceleration Qtier Technology enables constant storage optimization. Available Model  TS-364-8G Intel® Celeron® N5095 4-core/4-thread processor, burst up to 2.9 GHz, 8 GB RAM Quad-core high performance The TS-364 is designed for homes and small offices, allowing you to effortlessly manage files and enjoy multimedia entertainment while also providing reliable data protection. It uses an Intel® Celeron® N5095 quad-core processor (burst up to 2.9 GHz), has 3.5-inch SATA 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s drive bays, supports 8 GB DDR4 memory, and AES 256-bit encryption (for both full NAS volumes and shared folders) protects the confidentiality of sensitive data without compromising performance. Effective airflow The TS-364 sports a stylish and elegant look with an industrial design concept. Effective airflow provides better cooling, ensuring smooth performance even under the heaviest loads. Easy hard drive installation The tool-less 3.5-inch hard drive installation allows easier system setup and maintenance, while the front-panel LEDs assist in viewing system status. Accelerate AI–powered image recognition and caching with TPU and PCIe expansion The TS-364 is equipped with two M.2 PCIe Gen3 slots, enabling cache acceleration or SSD storage pools for improved performance, or Edge TPU for AI image recognition.   NVMe 2 SSDs for cache acceleration or efficient tiered storage The TS-364 supports SSD caching and features two M.2 slots that support M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs with 2280 form factors (sold separately) for boosting overall NAS performance. Qtier™ technology can also be used to empower the TS-364 with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency across all installed storage devices. The third drive bay of the TS-364 supports SSD caching. 2.5-inch drive tray bases can be purchased from the QNAP Online Shop. M.2 SSDs are sold separately. As M.2 SSD operations can easily generate excessive heat, it is recommended to install a heatsink on M.2 SSDs.
