QNAP TS-462 (2022)

QNAP's four-bay TS-462 steps up networking to a single 2.5GbE port (2.5G/1G/100M auto-negotiating) and keeps an HDMI 2.0 output for 4K@60Hz direct display. Its USB layout splits speeds: two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-A ports for fast external storage plus two USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. A PCIe Gen3 x2 slot lets you add 10GbE, extra USB, or Wi-Fi later. The cables that matter most are a Cat6 Ethernet lead for the 2.5GbE jack and an HDMI cable for direct output.

Four-bay QNAP NAS with 2.5GbE, HDMI 2.0 4K output, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and two USB 2.0 ports, plus a PCIe slot.
