2. Product Overview
This chapter provides basic information about the QNAP TS-x64U NAS.
About the TS-x64U
The TS-x64U is powered by an Intel® Celeron® N5105/N5095 quad-core 2.9 GHz processor. The NAS
supports connecting expansion units through two native USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and USB JBOD
enclosures through USB ports on PCIe cards. Additionally, the TS-x64U supports SATA 6 Gbps drives
(backward compatible with SATA 3 Gbps), and is equipped with two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and one
PCIe Gen 3 x2 slot for various applications and expansion options.
