Description

An Intel processor for virtual machines and containers

The Intel Celeron N5095 is a quad-core processor with a 2.0 GHz base clock and bursts up to 2.9 GHz. It supports Intel VT-x and VT-d virtualisation and AES-NI encryption, which protects data without slowing the system down. Virtualization Station runs Windows and Linux virtual machines, Container Station handles Docker, LXD and Kata containers, and Linux Station gives you a Linux desktop. The 8 GB of memory can grow to 16 GB.

M.2 SSD caching or an Edge TPU

The two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 slots take NVMe SSDs that can serve as a cache, as a separate SSD storage pool or as part of Qtier auto-tiering. Alternatively you can fit a Google Edge TPU, which speeds up face and object recognition in QuMagie photo albums. Image recognition also benefits from the Intel OpenVINO AI engine built into the processor.

HDMI output and 4K video straight to a screen

Intel UHD Graphics supports hardware video decoding and real-time transcoding. The HDMI output drives a display at up to 4K: connect a TV or monitor and you can watch stored films and photos without a computer, or show a virtual machine desktop directly on the screen. That lets the TS-664 double as a simple workstation.

2.5GbE networking and four USB ports

The two 2.5GbE ports work over existing CAT5e cabling and reach up to 5 Gbit/s when trunked. Two 10 Gbit/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports suit backups to external drives, and two USB 2.0 ports can take, for example, a UPS. The PCIe Gen 3 x2 slot accepts a 10GbE or 5GbE network card, a QM2 card or a USB 3.2 Gen 2 card.

Snapshots and backups against ransomware

Block-based snapshots record the state of the system and let you roll a volume, folder or single file back to an earlier point. Hybrid Backup Sync copies data to another NAS, a server or the cloud for a 3-2-1 strategy, and QuDedup removes duplicate data at the source. Windows PCs are backed up with NetBak Replicator and Macs with Time Machine.

Who this NAS is for

Small businesses that want one device to cover file serving, backup and a few virtual machines. Families and media fans who play films from the NAS on a TV over HDMI and sort photos with AI recognition. Home lab builders running Docker containers and Linux apps. With six bays there is room for a RAID 5 or RAID 6 array plus a hot spare.

Questions & answers

Are drives included?

No. The NAS ships without drives: the six bays take 2.5″ and 3.5″ SATA HDDs and SSDs, and the M.2 slots take 2280 NVMe SSDs. A power cable and a LAN cable are in the box.

How much memory can be installed?

There are two memory slots supporting up to 16 GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM. 8 GB comes installed.

What is the HDMI output on a NAS for?

HDMI lets you connect the NAS directly to a TV or monitor to play stored video at up to 4K, or to display a virtual machine or the Linux Station desktop without a separate computer.

Can I back up a Mac to it?

Yes. Macs back up with the built-in Time Machine and Windows PCs with NetBak Replicator. SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS are supported for file sharing.
