The QNAP QAI-M100 is a compact and high-performance M.2 2280 Edge AI Accelerator designed to easily upgrade the AI computing capabilities of QNAP NAS systems. Equipped with an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and 1GB dedicated memory, this card is installed directly into internal M.2 slots to perform complex AI computations.

• NPU Dedication: Provides up to 3 TOPS of dedicated AI computing power, significantly reducing the NAS CPU consumption and freeing system resources for core storage tasks.
• Media Acceleration: Dramatically increases the processing speed of QNAP QuMagie image recognition, offering up to 36% improvement in object recognition and up to 22% in face recognition.
• Scalable AI Architecture: Supports multiple card configurations, allowing users to use up to two QAI-M100 units simultaneously in compatible NAS systems to double the total AI capacity to 6 TOPS.
• Advanced Graphene Cooling: Comes with a pre-installed premium graphene heatsink and thermal pad for effective heat dissipation and to prevent thermal throttling during continuous AI operations.
• Flexible Resource Allocation: Seamlessly integrates into QTS/QuTS hero ecosystems, enabling administrators to prioritize and allocate NPU computing resources to specific critical applications.
