The QNAP HS-264-8G-US is a 2-bay NAS enclosure built to deliver quiet and efficient storage and media streaming for home users. It operates without a fan, which means it runs silently, making it a great fit for living rooms, home offices, or any space where noise can be distracting. Inside, it’s powered by an Intel Celeron quad-core processor paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, ensuring smooth performance whether you’re streaming 4K videos or managing large files.

This NAS supports up to two SATA drives and offers flexible RAID options including RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, and Single mode, so you can balance between speed, redundancy, or maximizing storage space depending on your needs. The dual 2.5GbE network ports provide faster data transfer speeds compared to standard gigabit connections, which is especially useful when multiple devices are accessing the NAS simultaneously or when transferring large media files.

For direct media playback, the HS-264 includes two HDMI 2.0 outputs that support 4K video, allowing you to connect it straight to your TV or monitor without needing an additional device.
