Product Description
The QNAP TS-464-8G is a 4-bay desktop NAS built for creators and small studios who have outgrown a 2-bay setup and need real breathing room for growing project libraries. Its Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM handle multi-user file sharing, Time Machine backups and media serving with ease, while the striking champagne-gold front panel makes it look at home on a desk rather than tucked away in a server room.
Dual 2.5GbE ports give you a genuine speed boost over standard Gigabit networking, and two M.2 2280 PCIe slots let you add NVMe SSD caching to speed up everyday file access. With four SATA drive bays supporting up to 72TB of raw storage and an optional PCIe expansion slot for extra networking or M.2 capacity, the TS-464-8G has plenty of room to grow alongside your Mac workflow.

Does this work with a Mac out of the box?
Yes. The TS-464-8G supports macOS 10.10 and later, and includes full Time Machine support so you can back up your Mac directly over the network without any extra software. You manage the NAS through your web browser using QNAP's QTS operating system, so no drivers are needed on the Mac itself.
Does it come with hard drives included?
No, the TS-464-8G ships as a diskless enclosure. You will need to add your own 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs (up to 18TB per bay, 72TB total). We recommend NAS-rated drives such as Seagate IronWolf or WD Red for 24/7 reliability.
What are the M.2 slots for?
The two M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe slots can be used to install SSDs as a high-speed cache, dramatically improving read and write performance for frequently accessed files, or configured as an independent all-flash storage pool. M.2 SSDs are sold separately.
Can I add more storage or networking later?
Yes. The TS-464-8G includes a PCIe Gen3 x2 expansion slot that accepts QNAP's optional QM2 cards (for extra M.2 slots) or 5GbE/10GbE network adapters, so you can scale performance without replacing the whole NAS.
Is this suitable for video editing backups?
Yes. With four drive bays, dual 2.5GbE ports and optional NVMe SSD caching, the TS-464-8G comfortably handles project storage and backups for small studios with multiple editors. For very large 4K/8K workflows needing higher throughput, QNAP's 10GbE-equipped models may be a better fit, but for most freelance and small studio setups this delivers excellent value and headroom.
