Editors stress that the TS-264-8G-US delivers superior performance for a compact 2-bay NAS, thanks to its Intel quad-core CPU, built-in GPU, dual 2.5 GbE ports and PCIe expandability.
Professional reviewers commend the FS6706T for its blistering all-flash performance that pushes the limits of 2.5 GbE, its silent operation, and robust 4K transcoding for Plex streaming, while noting the base 4 GB RAM and lack of HDD support as trade-offs.
Select the TS-264 for stronger CPU performance and dual 2.5 GbE, but opt for the FS6706T when maximum SSD speed and higher bay count are priorities.
Home users and small-business owners praise the fast SSD speeds, quiet operation and low energy use, but note occasional concerns about limited memory and the inability to add traditional hard drives.
