The QNAP TS-264 is a 2-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core CPU and 8GB DDR4, supporting two 3.5"/2.5" SATA drives plus two internal M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x1 slots for SSD caching or storage pools. Networking steps up from Gigabit with dual 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports supporting Port Trunking for up to 5 Gbps combined throughput, and a rear HDMI 2.0b output enables local 4K@60Hz playback for HybridDesk Station. A mix of USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s) and USB 2.0 Type-A ports covers external drives, UPS units, and peripherals. Power arrives via an external 65W 12V DC brick.
NAS Devices
The QNAP TS-464 is the 4-bay sibling of the TS-264, stepping up to an Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core CPU with 8GB DDR4 and four 3.5"/2.5" SATA bays alongside two internal M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x1 slots for SSD caching. A PCIe Gen3 x2 expansion slot accepts QNAP network, M.2, or graphics cards, while dual 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports provide up to 5 Gb/s combined throughput with Port Trunking. The rear HDMI 2.0b output supports local 4K@60Hz playback via HD Station, and a mix of USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s) and USB 2.0 Type-A ports handles external storage and peripherals. Power comes from an external 12V DC brick.
The Synology DS224+ is a 2-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core CPU, 2GB of DDR4 (expandable to 6GB), and support for SHR/RAID 0/1/JBOD across a pair of 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives. Networking uses dual Gigabit Ethernet with link aggregation and failover, while two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports — one front, one rear — handle printers, UPS units, and external backups. Power comes from an external 60W DC brick, so the chassis itself has no IEC inlet.
The Synology DS923+ is a 4-bay desktop NAS built around an AMD Ryzen R1600 dual-core CPU with 4GB ECC DDR4 (expandable to 32GB), supporting SHR/RAID 0/1/5/6/10 across four 3.5" or 2.5" drives and an optional DX517 expansion chassis. Networking uses dual Gigabit Ethernet with link aggregation and failover, while a rear PCIe Gen3 x2 slot accepts Synology's E10G22-T1-Mini 10GbE upgrade card. A pair of USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports (one front, one rear) handle UPS units, printers, and external backups. Power comes from an external 100W DC brick, so the chassis itself has no IEC inlet.
The UGREEN NASync DXP2800 is a 2-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel N100 quad-core CPU with 8GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (expandable to 16GB), two 3.5"/2.5" SATA bays, and two internal M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x1 slots for NVMe caching or storage. Networking is a single 2.5GbE RJ-45 port, and a rear HDMI 2.0b output enables 4K@60Hz local playback via UGREEN's UGOS software. Up front the chassis offers a 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and a matching 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A for quick ingest, with a rear mix of USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and two USB 2.0 ports for UPS, printers, and long-term backup targets.
UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus (2024)
The UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus is a 4-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel Pentium Gold 8505 five-core CPU with 8GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (expandable to 16GB), four 3.5"/2.5" SATA bays, and two internal M.2 2280 NVMe slots for storage or SSD caching. Networking is the feature: a 10GbE RJ-45 port alongside a 2.5GbE port enables up to ~1250 MB/s sustained transfer over copper. Up front, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, matching USB-A, and an SD card reader handle fast ingest, while the rear panel adds a HDMI 2.0b 4K output, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports for UPS and legacy peripherals.
