QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading computing, and storage solutions innovator, today launched the TS-x62 NAS series. Powered by Intel® Celeron® dual-core processors, the series includes the 2-bay TS-262 and 4-bay TS-462 models. Both models feature a 2.5GbE port and two M.2 PCIe slots for SSD caching, enabling higher transfer speeds and faster data access to supercharge diverse storage applications. There is also a PCIe Gen 3 slot allowing users to expand NAS functionality with a range of QNAP PCIe cards. Multimedia stored on the TS-x62 can be streamed throughout the home, an enjoyed directly on a TV or monitor with the HDMI 2.1 output.

“We are pleased to have worked with QNAP to release the TS-x62 series which covers various use scenarios for home users, such as 4K media streaming, centralized storage, and efficient file backup. The Intel® Celeron® N4505 processor delivers attractive performance for home NAS models with its greater collaboration and multitasking capability,” said Jason Ziller, General Manager, Client Connectivity Division at Intel Corporation.

“The TS-x62 series with the Intel® Celeron® N4505 processor represents QNAP’s commitment to providing advanced performance and functionality for home users. For example, thanks to the integrated Intel® OpenVINO™ AI engine, the photo management solution allows users to enjoy faster image identification and organization compared with the predecessors,” said Meiji Chang, General Manager of QNAP.

The TS-x62 series comes with the latest version of QNAP’s QTS operating system – QTS 5.0.1 - by default, allowing users to enjoy a faster, smoother, and easier user experience. QuMagie, the smart AI-enhanced photo management application, can now be supercharged by installing an Edge TPU (optional purchase). QTS 5.0 also supports TLS 1.3 to improve security and performance, with automatic QTS and app updates to ensure optimal NAS running conditions.

By supporting Plex®, TS-x62 series users can stream media files to mobile devices, DLNA® devices, and TVs using common media streaming devices including Roku®, Apple TV® (via Qmedia), Google Chromecast™, and Amazon Fire TV®. Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS 3) provides various backup options such as secondary backup to cloud, local external drives and remote NAS. The capacity of the TS-x62 can be expanded by connecting expansion enclosures, or by using HybridMount to mount cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and other major cloud services. The NAS App Center also provides a wide range of applications for file management, productivity, and much more.
