4 Things to Know About the QNAP TS-264’s Storage Layout
Regarding the QNAP: 1. Two 3.5-inch bays hold your main hard drives for bulk storage. You can fill them with traditional HDDs for large-capacity arrays.
Two M.2 NVMe slots sit alongside the drive bays. These slots support flash caching or a dedicated SSD pool.
