QNAP TS-464: should we still buy it in 2025? - Freeco - 01-09-2025
I'm in the market for a new NAS, as my old one I have running at my neighbors as an off-site backup is about to go EOL. I obviously want to get security updates for a device that's connected to the internet... I'd put my current QNAP TS-453D at my neighbors, and buy a new one for home.
The QNAP TS-464 would perfectly suite my needs, but it doesn't feel right to still buy a model that over 2 years old, and I expect will be replaced some time soon.
The TS-464 was revealed in March 2022, so almost 3 years ago.
It was launched somewhat later. NC reviewed it 18th of April 2022, and re-reviewed it May last year.
In the meantime its Intel N5095 CPU is 4 years old. Intel Jasper Lake has had a replacement with Alderlake last year (the N95 for eg), and Q1 this year Twin Lake is released.
The processing power of the N5095 should be fine for me. What holds me back most is the PCIe Gen3 x1 NVMe slots. Should still be perfectly fine for traffic over 2.5Gbit, but it feels so outdated.
Not that I expect much better from the newer generation CPUs though. I see both Alderlake and Twin Like are also still PCIe gen 3, and have only 1 extra lane available.
So yeah... should I wait?
Anyone have any rumors about a successor to the TS-464?
There's CES in Las Vegas at the moment... Is QNAP present with new models?
