You can not only enjoy easy file access, sharing, and synchronization with multiple devices, but also run productivity tools and multimedia applications to streamline your workflows and data management.

2.5GbE-ready!

Experience faster file transfer and backup/restore with the TS-216G.

High-performance and energy efficient

Powered by an ARM® quad-core processor and 4GB RAM for multitasking with low power consumption.

Built-in NPU for AI Acceleration

NPU empowers QNAP’s AI Core to boost performance for high-speed face and object recognition.

Snapshot protection against Ransomware

Protect your files and data from accidental deletion and malware attacks with snapshots.

NPU accelerates on-device AI performance. 6x faster face recognition

NPU (Neural-network Processing Unit), designed to speed up AI tasks, not only accelerates image recognition and object detection but also reduces CPU workloads for optimized NAS performance when fulfilling AI-driven requests. When uploading a large number of photos to the TS-216G, you will enjoy high-speed AI performance of photo processing brought by NPU.

64-bit Cortex-A55 quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU and 4 GB RAM

Equipped with ARM® quad-core power and 4GB RAM for multitasking, and built-in GPU for enhanced video conversion and transcoding, the TS-216G satisfies file storage, media streaming, and video surveillance applications demanded from home and small offices.

Less is more

The TS-216G features an elaborate but handy design. The hot-swappable drive bays enable you to easily remove/replace hard drives without interrupting system operations.

Central management of all your files

Access NAS folders as if they are local folders: You can map your TS-216G NAS folders as a network drive on the computer and easily access it just like a local drive.

Connect from anywhere via Internet: Open a browser, connect to your TS-216G, and you can access your NAS files through File Station. You can also mount cloud storage to File Station and manage all your files from a single place.

Protect your data from ransomware threats with Snapshots

Snapshots are an advanced backup method and are normally reserved for high-end business NAS. QNAP provides snapshots as standard for all NAS – including the TS-216G. Snapshots work by recording the current state of the system, allowing it to be restored back this state at any time - greatly helping in mitigating the threat of ransomware.

Home and workplace surveillance made easy

The TS-216G can perform as a professional surveillance system for your home and office security – simply install the easy-to-use QVR Elite, a subscription-based smart surveillance software, along with its compatible 8,000+ cameras. Then, you can monitor and playback surveillance footage using computers, browsers, and mobile phones, and get instant notifications when an event occurs.
