HS-264 Silent and lightweight home NAS for multimedia playback and streaming with dual HDMI 2.0 4K output

Silent Multimedia Hub

The QNAP HS-264 is a 2-bay NAS designed for digital homes, powered by an Intel® Celeron® N5105 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor (burst up to 2.9 GHz) with 8GB DDR4 RAM (non-upgradable). Its fanless, low-vibration design ensures silent operation, ideal for living rooms, while supporting 4K multimedia playback and streaming via dual HDMI 2.0 (4K @60Hz) outputs. Apps like QuMagie, Video Station, Music Station, and Plex Media Server enable centralized storage and management of photos, videos, and music, with Intel UHD Graphics 600 supporting dual-channel 4K H.264 hardware decoding and transcoding.

High-Speed Connectivity

Equipped with two 2.5GbE ports (up to 5Gbps with port trunking), the HS-264 ensures fast file transfers and smooth streaming. Two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports (10Gbps) support external storage, and dual HDMI 2.0 outputs allow direct 4K playback on TVs or A/V receivers. HybridDesk Station and the Qremote app (or optional RM-IR004 remote) transform it into a Home Theater PC, while myQNAPcloud provides secure remote access without complex network setup. It supports DLNA, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast for versatile streaming.

Secure and Flexible Storage

The HS-264 supports two 3.5"/2.5" SATA 6Gb/s drive bays (HDD/SSD, 5400 RPM recommended) with RAID 0, 1, or single drive configurations. Running QTS 5.0 by default (switchable to QuTS hero with ZFS for data integrity and WORM from QTS 5.2.1), it offers snapshots for ransomware protection and data recovery. Features like QuMagie’s AI-powered photo management and Container Station for Docker apps enhance functionality. The modern set-top design fits seamlessly with home entertainment setups, and the system supports web browsing via Chrome and Firefox when connected to a keyboard, mouse, and HDMI display.
