Our Verdict

The QNAP TS-464-8G is a mature 4-bay platform: Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core processor, dual 2.5GbE with port trunking to 5 Gbps aggregate, 8GB DDR4 expandable to 16GB, four 3.5 inch SATA bays, two M.2 PCIe Gen 3 NVMe slots for SSD caching, and a PCIe Gen3 expansion slot that accepts a 10GbE network card or additional NVMe adapter. QTS software includes Plex Media Server, Container Station for Docker, virtual machine support, and surveillance applications. At $639.00 diskless it costs $79.01 more than the UGREEN DXP4800 GT ($559.99), which includes dual native 10GbE rather than 2.5GbE at the lower price. The TS-464 justifies its premium through QNAP's longer software support history, wider hardware compatibility, and the PCIe expansion slot that allows a 10GbE card upgrade without replacing the enclosure. For buyers already in the QNAP ecosystem or who want PCIe expandability from an established NAS vendor, the TS-464 is a sound choice. For buyers starting fresh who have or plan to have 10GbE networking, the DXP4800 GT delivers more speed for $79.01 less.
