help QNAP TS-262 FAQ
Does the QNAP TS-262 include hard drives?
The TS-262 is normally sold diskless, so its two SATA bays must be populated separately. QNAP publishes a compatibility list covering supported hard drives and SSDs.
Can the QNAP TS-262 transcode Plex video?
Its Intel Celeron N4505 processor includes integrated graphics and can assist with some hardware-accelerated media workloads. Actual Plex transcoding depends on the video codec, resolution and whether the required Plex Pass features are enabled.
Can the TS-262 use RAID 1 with two drives?
Yes. RAID 1 mirrors data across two disks, preserving access if one disk fails, but it does not replace an external or off-site backup.
What network connection does the QNAP TS-262 provide?
The NAS includes a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, which can exceed ordinary gigabit speeds when the switch and client also support 2.5GbE. Its PCIe expansion slot also leaves room for certain supported network or storage upgrades.
