I purchased this unit in June 2023 to replace the TS-451+ that succumbed to the intel 'cpu bug' that has bricked so many qnaps lately. Fortunately the 100 ohm jumper fix worked for me so I could migrate my system to the new TS-464. It has been a champ and I'm still scratching the surface of all the capabilities it can provide. I wanted to say thank you for your channel. It has been my go-to for NAS info and concept clarification as well as how-to knowledge. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your update. Initially I was interested in this model but it was a bit too highly priced for my budget and I finally settled on the TS-462. At least here in Spain the diference was about 200eur. I am beginning to use it and for the most part I am happy. After installing 2 cheap 8GB RAM modules and a M2 disk I am mostly happy. However I hope not to regret my purchase due to its CPU limitations. Not so much regarding the supoorted PCI bandwidth but its overall capacity until been overloaded. E.g. I have sometimes seen it at 81% by only installing a couple of apps and launching a couple of restores. Keep up with your great content!!

oh my lord has it been a year already !!!! i bought this NAS based on your review and it's been working great. thanks again Mr.NASCompares

Thanks for another informative video. I’m hoping to get mine in next month or so with the expanded memory and Ethernet.glad this model is still on the yes buy list

I got the TS-464 a couple of months ago, and I really like the snappy response compared to the TS-451 I’ve been using the last 10 years. I finally feel like I can do some productive work with a NAS rather than waiting through lags. I don’t like that the bigger drives can make the 464 resonate at a loud irritating low frequency, but maybe that’s more an issue with the drive than the enclosure. I’m trying some sound mitigation for that issue. Thank you to Eddie who helped nudge me towards the 464 through the NASCompares question portal.

Really good update, I'm looking to replace my DS 414J with either this or Synology for xmas.

I have a TS-453D, fully loaded, 16 GB ram and love it, thinking of an expansion box.

Great points Robbie on the 453E, that is kinda why I went that direction. Thanks for the 5.1 beta coverage as well, I moved to it with mulitchannel and very happy. With my logic, go with the 453E because is does everything smashing out of the box, only put m2.nvme's into it. If I ever needed to update I would go with the TVS-472XT and skip the 464, that was my logic anyways. I get your points on security, but it has been a long time since they got hit. They have done quite a bit since then to shore it all up, and the bounty. I don't remember what I had for breakfast, so I don't think 5 years is that real of a window :)

Just ordered a TS-664 and 3 x 18TB drives for my home solution, and Plex server. Total rookie here but thanks for all your content. Very helpful.

Bro is it noisy? Going for a similar setup, just with a 464 instead of the 664. Oh and are you using Exos 18TBs?

Awesome content. Wish you could do headphone amps, speakers, phone and pretty much any other tech I'll be looking at :-)

I’ve been a Synology user forever, but my next NAS will probably be QNAP. The HD restrictions and AMD processor direction at Synology makes it u desirable for me.

Thanks for the insight about Synology going AMD. That tipped me to going to them as I am sick to death of Intel & their overpriced cr@p.

Hey Robbie. Can we please get a video of how to setup and configure Tailscale on QNAP?

Does anyone know when a potential successor to the TS-873A might arrive? He mentioned in the video that a successor to the ts464 might take a while and i've been waiting for a newer 8-bay from qnap for a while now (one that doesnt break the bank like the TVS-h874).

I've always been tempted by QNAP. Their graphics chip & HDMI have me drooling. The only thing holding me back is my $5000 Syno investment, as well as unfamiliarity with a new OS. Thanx Robbie for keeping my whistle wet. G'day Mate !👍👍👍👍👍

If you ever update to it, you will be very well pleased. At least I was. In addition 5.1 beta, nvme options, and just speed with everything is really nice. Decoding with the 453E has been very impressive so far. The TVS-472XT is REALLY tempting though...

Any idea when/if the TB4 thunderbolt 4 edition will come out?

Do QTS support move pool from this NAS to another Qnap NAS like DSM? With DSM, i simple remove all of Disk and put it into new Synology with very simple repair pool.

I’ve been trying to buy a TS-464 for weeks since my TS-251 cpu died. I can’t find it anywhere for sale in the US. Back order or out of stock everywhere 😢

Thx but what about the Ts-X73A , is it still gone one you would recommend today?

Just picked up ts664 ..using for Local only...

Does all HDD have to be equal capacity for raid?

How about now? Looking for something for home use to replace my old qnap which is no longer supported.

@NASCompares and is it now, yet another year later still worth it? or will there be a follow up model soon?

I love this TS-464! Just got the GC-WBAX200 official WiFi card to test it on my new Deco BE85 Wifi. For the life of me I cannot get it to work. The TS-464 sees the card, but cannot pass the WPA/WP2 credentials back. Has anyone tried this? Thank you.

I'm seeing different specs on the TS-464. Can anyone confirm if the memory is upgradable or soldered on? Some sites/forums say and show images with SODIMM slots and others show images of soldered 8GB (non-upgradable memory).

Does the 664 run with 64GB RAM?

On Buffalo NAS it has a direct URL for its NAS torrent app. What's the direct URL for the Download Station app without having to go into QNAP App Center first to open it ?

Can i edit 4k videos out from this nas? I just dont understand how they work even tough ive been seraching for data about it.

Hi. I looking for a nas with: 8 GB ram/4 Core / 10GB LAN / M.2 do you have suggest?

Does anyone know why the price has increased so much on this? I see the 4G for around £600...you'd have thought it would have come down than its RRP a year back?

Should I buy the TS-464 8gb version, I don’t thing you can up grade the Ram, does the OS/System use 4gb of the 8gb. or try and find the TS-464 4gb which you can upgrade to 16gb. I will not be running any VMs. Thank you for a very informative video, thanks Paul

Watch upgrade?

I don't get, where the PCIe 3.0 x2 slots of the TS-453E are a benefit, when the network is 2,5GBit... am I missing something, or is one PCIe 3.0 lane still sufficient, to even deliver the data for the 2x2,5Gbit ports bundled (1GB/s vs 625MB/s theoretical maximums respective)?

I have 2 X 4 slot QNAP and I am satisfied with the brand, though I my 3rd QNAP died 2 years ago. The main problem with the NAS solution QNAP or any other NAS brand is the horrendous prices. I enquired for additional 8GB or RAM…400€; same bad surprise for a new 8 slot QNAP. This is not acceptable; I’ll probably try to build a desktop for much less money.

Absolutely love the TS464. I've recently upgraded the RAM to 64GB (using 20GB just as a ramdisk for transcoding). I wouldn't want to live without those 2.5Gbit ports anymore, transferring large amounts of data to the TS464 vs. my 1GBit Synology feels like day and night.

Waiting fir a NAS with an N100 CPU for av1 decode

I did just buy this NAS within the past 30 days and am really happy with it. With the shortage of the QNAP QXG-10G1T 10gbe pci cards, can you please recommend a third party comparable that may be readily available? I won’t have a need for the dual port and don’t want to have to pay extra $$ for it. Thank you!!

I have the TS-664. I am using a Mellanox connect x3 for 10gbe (SFP+ connection) that I picked up used on eBay. I did have to take a hack saw to the bracket and drill a hole in the bracket in order to screw it in but QTS recognizes the Mellanox right away without having to install additional drivers. I did change to jumbo frames and am getting 1 gigabyte transfer speeds when transferring information to the nvme drives.

I wish you'd do a full review of the TVS-474 like you did with the TS-464. The TS-464 choked on some larger 4K files and the TVS-474 is supposed to be 8K ready so I wondered how does that TVS-474 manage those large 4k files?

The QNAP website says the CPU is N5095. What happened with N5105, which is supposed to have better video (I think) ?

What's the max capacity harddrive you can have in this, can you have different capacity harddrives?

@GemIwas

I have a TS-464, thus 4 bays. To date I can insert 4 x 22 TB HDDs and reach out a capacity of approximately 60 TB on RAID 5. And No, you cannot have different capacity hard drives on NAS, unless you do configure the Storage pool in a way, whereas the slots act as different pools. Yet, I am just a normal tech user; there may be some real tech people that might give you more detailed answers on your questions. Good luck.

A few years ago, with similar prices and products I might have gone with Synology, but Synology's restrictions are kinda scary for a product I'll use for the next 10 years.

Cheers for Seagulls! lol

Great until the LPC fails
