Congratulations to the QNAP TS-464T4 Thunderbolt 4 NAS. This outstanding storage system is taking home Videomaker’s Best RAID Enclosure of CES 2022 award!
What makes the QNAP TS-464T4 special?
The QNAP TS-464T4 claims the title as the world’s first Thunderbolt 4 NAS. This network-attached storage system features an Intel Celeron N5105 quad-core processor and four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays that support 2.5 and 3.5-inch drives up to 20TB. The enclosure supports RAID 0,1,5,6,10.
Along with those, the new NAS also features two M.2 NVMe PCIe slots, which QNAP claims will provide ideal storage for high-speed media editing and file sharing.
As far as connection options, it has dual-port Thunderbolt 4 as well as native 2.5GbE/10GbE connectivity. Additionally, the TS-464T4 NAS offers HDMI 2.0 output at 4K resolutions up to 60Hz. The NAS also has real-time transcoding capabilities.
“More than a storage and backup center, the outstanding performance and multifaceted applications of the TS-464T4 make it a perfect collaboration station to optimize creative workflows and achieve greater possibilities,” according to QNAP.
