What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

QNAP TS-464

Only one whitelisted lab tester, StorageReview, published a hands-on benchmark of the exact QNAP TS-464 (Oct 2022). It measured the four-bay NAS meeting or beating the older TS-453D on SMB throughput and calls it a great value at $549 diskless, while noting that some gains are marginal and 128K sequential reads actually came in lower than the prior model in the test config. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Beats the older TS-453D on SMB read/write throughput in lab benchmarks; Strong value at the $549 diskless base price for SMB and home users; Expandable: two M.2 NVMe Gen3 slots, PCIe Gen3 x2, up to 16GB RAM, dual 2.5GbE.

Flagged: 128K sequential reads came in 6.8% lower than the TS-453D in the test config; Some measured performance gains over the prior model are only marginal; Ships diskless with just 4GB RAM at the base configuration.

ASUSTOR Lockerstor 4 Gen3 (AS6804T)

Only one whitelisted tester (TechRadar) published a hands-on review of this exact model. TechRadar rates it 4/5, praising its AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 CPU with ECC DDR5 memory, up to 30GbE of network bandwidth and mature ADM 5.0 software, but flags the steep ~$1,300 price (nearly double the Gen 2), the missing GPU, and M.2 slots limited to a single PCIe lane. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Powerful AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 CPU paired with ECC DDR5 memory; Huge network bandwidth: dual 10GbE plus dual 5GbE and USB 4.0 direct connection; Mature, feature-rich ADM 5.0 software with an excellent app selection.

Flagged: Expensive for a four-bay NAS (~$1,300), nearly double the Gen 2 price; No GPU, which hurts Plex/video transcoding; M.2 slots limited to a single PCIe lane; trays require tools (not tool-less).
