QNAP TS-262-4G, 2-Bay desktop NAS, Intel® Celeron® N4505 dual-core
Product Description
A fast and vast private cloud storage with a range of multimedia and file management applications, the TS-262 2-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP is ideal for home users to maximize their digital lifestyle. Files, data, and multimedia saved on the TS-262 can be accessed from your connected devices, including phones, computers, and smart TVs. A 2.5GbE port and HDMI 2.0 port come as standard, allowing you to enjoy lag-free multimedia streaming throughout your home and directly on your TV. The TS-262 can be geared up to fit future needs, supporting two M.2 PCIe slots for Qtier auto-tiering storage technology and can be easily expanded to fit growing data needs. The TS-262 also supports Edge TPU, allowing you to easily organize your photos based on facial and object recognition with the QuMagie app.
This unit has two SATA III 6 Gb/s drive bays, both of which natively support 3.5" hard drives, as well as 2.5" hard drives and SSDs. Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their TS-262, optional expansion units may be connected. Also featured are two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports and two USB-A 2.0 ports, which allow it to be connected to external peripherals. You can also output video to an external display using the HDMI 2.0 port, which supports resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz. Network connectivity is achieved via the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port.
The TS-262 runs on the QTS 5.0.1 operating system. Supported RAID modes include RAID 0, which provides performance gains, or RAID 1, which provides 1:1 data redundancy. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD and Single are also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.
QNAP has engineered the TS-262 to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer a 70mm system fan, the server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard-drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses. The TS-262 operates using an external 65W AC adapter and includes an Ethernet cable, a power cord, six flat head screws for 3.5" HDDs, and six flat head screws for 2.5" HDDs. Protection is provided by a limited 2-year hardware warranty.
