TS-AI642: An ARM NAS
Like No Other
A game-changer, redefining expectations
In the realm of storage devices,
ARM systems were traditionally known for their basic storage capabilities and cost efficiency.
However, the landscape changed in 2024 with the introduction of the TS-AI642.
This NAS redefined expectations by offering performance comparable to high-end x86 NAS models,
all while keeping costs in check.
Witness the evolution of ARM technology with the TS-AI642's powerful 8-core configuration.
The core of TS-AI642
QNAP TS-AI642 is powered by an advanced ARM Cortex 64-bit A76/A55 SoC 8-core processor (RK3588) built on cutting-edge 8nm process technology, delivering exceptional performance and energy efficiency.

TS-AI642's NPU acceleration greatly enhances QTS AI Core efficiency, outperforming same-class x86 NAS such as TS-664. It empowers smoother QuMagie smart album experiences, facilitating faster photo browsing and management within vast image collections.
TS-AI642 outperforms similar x86 NAS in image processing and even matches high-end x86 NAS in facial recognition.
NPU makes the difference: Pro surveillance
In comparison to the TVS-h674 which relies on GPU for facial and body recognition, the TS-AI642 achieves similar computational performance using its NPU, while exhibiting significantly lower heat generation under full load. Using the TS-AI642 in surveillance applications presents the most cost-effective choice.
For surveillance, the TS-AI642 outperforms similar x86 NAS and rivals high-end x86 NAS.
AI NAS or AI Surveillance Camera?
While many AI surveillance cameras can detect objects, not all offer true recognition. Cheaper models lack this capability, making them unsuitable for commercial use. Higher-priced options, including licensing fees, end up costing more than the TS-AI642 itself.
The TS-AI642 can independently performs AI recognition tasks for up to seven video channels, saving you from purchasing expensive AI cameras. Using standard IP cameras with the TS-AI642 can also satisfy AI facial recognition for medium-sized areas.
