QNAP TS-464-8G, four-bay enclosure with two 2.5GbE sockets review
A four-bay enclosure whose Amazon.com description names an Intel Celeron N5095, two 2.5GbE sockets that trunk to 5 Gbps, M.2 and PCIe Gen 3 expansion and 8 GB of memory — and whose title and bullets carry almost none of it.
The title reads only QNAP TS-464-8G/F Memory 8GB. The bullets add port trunking up to 5 Gbps over existing Cat5e cables, an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD (sold separately) or an Edge TPU, 8 GB of RAM, dual-screen output for monitoring or 4K playback, and a line naming the TS-453E as a long-term supply model until 2030. The description carries the specification: an Intel Celeron N5095, quad-core up to 2.9 GHz, two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, M.2 PCIe Gen 3 and PCIe Gen 3 slots for QM2 cache cards, an Edge TPU or 10GbE and 5GbE network cards, and 8 GB for light-duty virtual machines and containers.
Two sockets at 2.5 gigabits
Two 2.5GbE sockets trunked together give 5 Gbps in total. That helps several computers at once; a single computer copying a large file is still limited by its own socket, usually 1 or 2.5 Gbit/s. The PCIe slot is the published route past that, with a 10GbE card.
What the slots are for
The M.2 slots take NVMe drives as a cache in front of the hard drives, or an Edge TPU for image recognition. The number of M.2 slots is not given on the page.
What is not published
The size and interface of the four bays, the RAID levels, the USB sockets, the name of the operating system, power draw and noise. The product record gives 8.9 by 6.69 by 6.61 in and 2,260 g (79.7 oz).
The price
$1,002.92 on Amazon.com on October 26, 2026, with no drives — the second-highest price on this shelf after the DS723+ bundle, and $342.93 more than the UGREEN DXP4800 GT, which publishes two 10GbE sockets.

Where it holds up, and where it stops
Strengths
Two 2.5GbE sockets that trunk to 5 Gbps over existing Cat5e cabling, stated in the first bullet and the description
A named processor, the Intel Celeron N5095 with four cores up to 2.9 GHz, and 8 GB of memory
Room to grow: M.2 NVMe slots and a PCIe Gen 3 slot that takes a cache card or a 10GbE network card
4K HDMI output for playback straight from the unit
Compromises
The title is a model number and a memory figure; the processor and the sockets are only in the description
No drive size, no RAID level and no software name anywhere on the page
The fifth bullet names a different model, the TS-453E, as the long-term supply product
$1,002.92 on Amazon.com on October 26, 2026, the second-highest price on this shelf and the dearest empty enclosure
Specifications
Bay count
Four, in the model designation TS-464 — the Amazon.com title, bullets and description never count the bays in words
Drive interface
Not published on the listing — no drive size in inches and no bus is named for the bays
Solid-state slot count
M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe slots, number not given — the second bullet names an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, sold separately, or an Edge TPU; the description names M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots and a PCIe Gen 3 slot that takes QM2 cache cards or a 10GbE or 5GbE network card
Processor

Ethernet port count
Two RJ45 at 2.5GbE — stated in the description
Port speed
2.5 Gbit/s per socket, up to 5 Gbps with port trunking over existing Cat5e cables — stated in the first bullet and the description; 10GbE or 5GbE through an optional PCIe card
USB ports
Not published on the listing — no USB socket is named or counted
Supported redundancy levels
Not published on the listing — no array arrangement is named in the title, the five bullets or the description
Published operating system
Not named on the listing — the description lists multi-cloud backup, a cloud storage gateway, real-time transcoding and 4K HDMI output without naming the software that provides them
Stated idle power
Not published on the listing — no figure in watts appears
Stated acoustic figure
Not published on the listing — no decibel value and no claim about noise appears
Stated dimensions

The questions that come up before an order
How fast is the network?
Two 2.5GbE sockets, which the first bullet and the description say can be trunked to 5 Gbps over existing Cat5e cables. A single computer still connects at the speed of its own socket; trunking raises the total across several clients.
Can it take 10GbE?
Through its PCIe Gen 3 slot, according to the description, which names 10GbE and 5GbE network cards among the options. The card is not included.
Which software does it run?
The listing does not name it. The description lists what it does — multi-cloud backup, a cloud storage gateway, real-time transcoding — without naming the operating system.
Our score
8.4/ 10
A well-equipped four-bay machine — a named quad-core processor, 8 GB, two 2.5GbE sockets and PCIe expansion — on a page that keeps all of it in the description. The array levels, the drive size and the software name are the lines to check before ordering.
Against the rest of the network and storage gear
This network and storage gear share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.

Four, in the model designation TS-464 — the Amazon.com title, bullets and description never count the bays in words
Not published on the listing — no drive size in inches and no bus is named for the bays
M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe slots, number not given — the second bullet names an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, sold separately, or an Edge TPU; the description names M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots and a PCIe Gen 3 slot that takes QM2 cache cards or a 10GbE or 5GbE network card
Intel Celeron N5095, quad-core, up to 2.9 GHz — stated in the description
Six SATA bays, plus two M.2 NVMe slots — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet. It is the only six-bay machine on this shelf; the rest are at one, two, four or eight
Six SATA bays and two M.2 NVMe slots — stated in the fourth bullet with a maximum of 208 TB. Six times 32 TB plus two 8 TB modules is 208, so the arithmetic holds. No drive size in inches is printed
Two M.2 NVMe — stated in the fourth bullet alongside the six SATA bays, and counted within the 208 TB total rather than offered as cache
12th-generation Intel Core i3-1215U — given in the title as a six-core processor and in the third bullet as six cores and eight threads. No clock speed is published
Eight — stated in the title and in the second bullet as eight M.2 2280 NVMe slots, each taking up to 8 TB for 64 TB in total. The arithmetic holds, and it is the highest bay count on this shelf
M.2 2280 NVMe only — stated in the second bullet. No SATA bay appears anywhere on the page, which makes this the only all-solid-state enclosure on this shelf; every other listing here is built around SATA bays
Eight, which is the same as the bay count — the two figures coincide because every bay is an M.2 slot. Each takes up to 8 TB, stated in the second bullet
Intel Core i3-N305, eight cores and eight threads with a turbo frequency up to 3.4 GHz, with UHD Graphics — stated in the first bullet. It is the highest core count on this shelf; the UGREEN DXP4800 GT here publishes four cores, eight threads and a higher clock at 3.70 GHz
Four — stated in the sixth bullet as four drive bays for SATA drives up to 32 TB each, with up to two of those same bays also accepting U.2 NVMe solid-state drives
SATA bays at up to 32 TB each, two of which also take U.2 NVMe — stated in the sixth bullet. No drive size in inches is printed anywhere on the page, so the bus is named and the format is not
Two M.2 slots carrying up to 16 TB between them, stated in the sixth bullet, plus up to two of the four SATA bays accepting U.2 NVMe drives. The 144 TB total is 4 × 32 TB plus 16 TB, and the arithmetic holds
AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514, four cores, eight threads, up to 3.70 GHz — stated in the first bullet. With the TerraMaster F8 SSD Plus, it is one of two processors on this shelf published with cores, threads and a clock together
