Extended Product Information

FAQs

How do I create a RAID configuration?

Go to Storage & Snapshots Manager in the QTS interface. Select Storage Pools, then New Storage Pool. Follow the setup wizard to choose your RAID level (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, or JBOD) and configure the drives.

Can I upgrade the RAM?

Yes, the TS-464 comes with 8GB of RAM. The maximum supported RAM is also 8GB. You cannot upgrade the RAM on this model.

How do I back up my data?

Use the Hybrid Backup Sync app to create backup jobs. You can back up to another QNAP NAS, a cloud service, or an external drive. Configure scheduled backups for automated data protection.

How do I access files from outside my home network?

Enable myQNAPcloud and create a myQNAPcloud account. This allows you to access your files securely through the internet. You can also manually configure port forwarding on your router.

What kind of drives can I use?

The TS-464 supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and SSDs. Ensure the drives are compatible with the NAS and the correct size for the bays.

How do I install apps?

Use the App Center within the QTS interface. Browse and install apps to extend the functionality of your NAS. You can find apps for backup, multimedia, surveillance, and more.

What is SSD caching and how do I set it up?

SSD caching uses solid-state drives (SSDs) to speed up access to frequently used data. In the Storage & Snapshots Manager, create a new storage pool and add your SSDs as a cache. Choose either read-only or read-write caching.

Troubleshooting

NAS not booting or turning on.

Check the power supply and ensure it is connected properly. Try a different power outlet. If the issue persists, contact QNAP support.

Slow transfer speeds.

Verify your network connection (cables, switch). Ensure the NAS and your computer are connected to a 2.5GbE or Gigabit network. Check the hard drive health and consider using SSD caching for frequently accessed files.

Can't access files remotely.

Verify your myQNAPcloud settings. Check your router's port forwarding settings. Ensure the NAS is connected to the internet. Restart your network devices.

Unable to find the NAS on the network.

Ensure that the NAS and the computer are on the same network. Check the network cables. Use Qfinder Pro to locate the NAS and check the IP address.
