Unlocking the Power of Your NAS with AI

Network-attached storage (NAS) systems have revolutionized the way we store and access files, but thanks to cutting-edge advancements, they’re set to transform your photo management too! New models from QNAP, including the TS-216G, TS-AI642, and TS-133, are now equipped with Arm processors and built-in neural processing units (NPUs) that empower users to find images effortlessly through simple text searches like 'Disneyland Mickey Mouse.'

Boost Your Old NAS with QNAP's Latest AI Accelerators

Don’t worry if your NAS is a bit older and doesn’t have an AI accelerator. QNAP has introduced two game-changing AI accelerators: the QAI-M100 (M.2 2280) and QAI-U100 (USB), both packed with the powerful Rockchip RK1808 module. These devices can enhance your image and facial recognition capabilities by an impressive 36%! Now, that’s a reason to upgrade.

Specs That Speak Volumes

Let’s dive into the specifics: - **SoC**: Rockchip RK1808 - **CPU**: Dual-core Arm Cortex-A35 @ 1.6 GHz - **NPU**: 3 TOPS NPU - **Memory**: 1GB RAM - **Host Interfaces**: M.2 2280 PCIe Gen2 (QAI-M100) and USB 3.2 Gen1 (QAI-U100) - **Dimensions**: M.2 2280 for QAI-M100 and compact USB stick for QAI-U100.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity

Both accelerators are designed for easy installation—just plug them in, and they’re readily detected by the QNAP software. They also support other AI accelerators like Google Coral Edge TPU and Hailo AI, making them a versatile addition to your tech arsenal.

See the Difference in Performance!

In internal lab testing, the QAI-M100 displayed a remarkable speed boost for AI object recognition in the QuMagie Smart Album, increasing speed by 36% and facial recognition acceleration by 22%. A minor upgrade? Perhaps. But for those who rely on their NAS for photo organization, this can prove invaluable.
