The TS-462 also supports Edge TPU, allowing you to easily organize your photos based on facial and object recognition with the QuMagie app.
Powered by a 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron N4505 Dual-Core processor, the TS-462 is driven by 4GB of DDR4 memory that can be upgraded to 16GB. It also features a 2.5GbE RJ45 port, as well as a PCIe 3.0 x2 slot that can accommodate a 2.5/5/10GbE network card or a Wi-Fi 6 wireless adapter. The TS-462 supports JBOD and Single, as well as a variety of RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, each of which offer data redundancy, speed, or a combination of both.
This 4-bay enclosure has the ability to natively house both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA III hard drives or SSDs, plus two M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for enabling SSD caching or SSD storage pools for improved performance, or Edge TPU for AI image recognition. Using the external 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 Type-A, and HDMI 2.0 ports, this QNAP NAS can be connected to other QNAP devices, as well as other external drives and displays.

Install M.2 NVMe SSDs for Cache Acceleration or Efficient Tiered Storage
The TS-462 supports SSD caching and features two M.2 slots that support M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSDs (sold separately) for boosting overall NAS performance. Qtier technology can also be used to empower the TS-462 with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency across all installed storage devices.
Accelerate AI-Powered Image Recognition with TPU
By leveraging a Google Edge TPU to QNAP AI Core (the AI-powered engine for image recognition), the TS-462 can perform high-speed face and object recognition. Google Edge TPU enables QuMagie to quickly process thousands of photos with high-speed AI Image recognition and classification, and QVR Face to analyze real-time video for instant facial recognition.

SSD Over-Provisioning
You can add additional SSD over-provisioning (1% ~60%) to avoid write amplification and improve SSD random write speeds and endurance. You can potentially attain enterprise-grade SSD performance levels from affordable consumer SSDs.
SSD Cache Acceleration
Enables SSD caching for increasing IOPS performance and reducing latency for storage volume. This feature is perfect for IOPS-demanding applications including databases and virtualization. The TS-462 also supports write-only cache to boost write-intensive applications.
Qtier for Auto-Tiering
Qtier technology drives auto-tiered storage with continuous data optimization across high-performance SSDs and high-capacity HDDs based on access frequency. I/O-Aware Qtier can reserve a cache-like space in the SSD tiered to handle burst I/O in real time.
The TS-462's hardware provides H.264 hardware decoding, encoding, and transcoding capabilities. However, playback quality may vary due to factors including playback software, file formats, system usage, and available bandwidth. H.265 hardware transcoding requires installing CAYIN MediaSign Player with Plus license.
2.5/5/10GbE Network Card
Enable lightning-fast throughput for bandwidth-demanding tasks, such as massive data transmission or fast backup/restore.
Wireless Adapter
Install a QXP-W6-AX2000 Wi-Fi 6 wireless adapter to turn the TS-462 into a wireless NAS. Or, make the TS-462 a wireless access point by installing the QWA-AC2600 wireless adapter and the WirelessAP Station app.
