Quick answer

The QNAP TS-464 accepts 2.5 inch SATA SSDs in its drive bays for an all-flash, silent and fast pool. NAS-rated SATA SSDs (WD Red SA500, Seagate IronWolf 125) are the safe pick for 24/7 write endurance. The live table lists current UK SATA SSD prices.

Should you use SSDs in the TS-464?

All-flash SATA SSD makes sense if

  • You want silent, low-power, fast random access
  • Your data set is small to medium (databases, VMs, active projects)
  • You value speed over cost per terabyte

Stick with hard drives if

  • You need bulk capacity at the lowest price per terabyte
  • You mostly store media, photos and backups
  • You can add an M.2 NVMe cache instead for speed

NAS-rated vs desktop SSDs

For a 24/7 NAS pool, prefer SSDs rated for sustained writes and higher endurance. WD Red SA500 and Seagate IronWolf 125 are designed for this duty. Desktop QLC SSDs can slow under sustained load and wear faster.

The TS-464 also has 2 M.2 NVMe slots, so you can keep hard drives for capacity and add NVMe for cache or a fast pool instead of going all-flash.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put SSDs in the TS-464?

Yes. The 4 bays accept 2.5 inch SATA SSDs as well as 3.5 inch hard drives. You can run an all-SSD pool for speed and silence, or mix as your model allows.

Do I need CMR drives, or are SMR drives fine?

Use CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) drives. Shingled (SMR) drives rewrite overlapping tracks, which makes RAID rebuilds very slow and can time out and drop the drive from the array. Every drive recommended here is CMR. Avoid the SMR WD Red models with EFAX part numbers for a RAID pool.

Are NAS SSDs worth it over normal SSDs?

For a NAS that runs continuously, NAS-rated SATA SSDs have higher endurance ratings and firmware tuned for RAID. For light home use a good consumer SATA SSD also works, but check the TBW endurance figure before buying.
