Features:

Dual 2.5GbE, 8GB RAM, and long-term availability

The TS-253E features 2.5GbE connectivity, 8GB RAM, and M.2 slots for NVMe SSD caching to deliver high performance for applications such as surveillance systems, virtual machines, file servers or backup servers. Dual HDMI™ outputs also provide direct multimedia playback and robust surveillance monitoring. QNAP will provide long-term availability and support for the TS-253E, providing a great choice for businesses requiring matching NAS models deployed in multiple locations.

The TS-253E uses the QTS operating system by default. You will be able to switch to using the QuTS hero operating system. QuTS hero provides benefits such as ZFS data integrity and WORM technology to prevent data tampering. (Switching to QuTS hero is supported starting from QTS 5.2.1.)

Dual 2.5GbE ports

2.5 times faster network speed with existing CAT5e cables; supports port trunking to deliver up to 5Gbps.

Dual M.2 2280 PCIe slots

Attain greater NAS performance by installing M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSDs (sold separately) or Edge TPU.

8GB RAM onboard

System performance and multitasking is optimized with 8GB RAM.

Dual HDMI™ output

The dual-screen extension can be used for surveillance or 4K high-resolution video playback.

Intel® Celeron® J6412 4-core/4-thread processor, burst up to 2.6 GHz, 8 GB SODIMM DDR4 (1 x 8 GB)

Long-term availability

The TS-253E is powered by an Intel® Celeron® J6412 processor and will be available and supported for an extended period. This long-term availability makes the TS-253E an ideal choice for MSP, SI, and other IT-related businesses requiring matching NAS models for long-term projects.

24/7 surveillance solution for stores and branch offices

The TS-253E is a one-stop surveillance solution for centrally recording/managing multiple cameras and surveillance servers based in your offices, stores, and other working spaces.

Transform your network with a wallet-friendly 2.5GbE switch

Upgrading your network shouldn’t break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1GbE. QNAP offers 2.5GbE switches that supports Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T™ and allows you to use existing CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS, assisting organizations in implementing high-speed, secure and scalable network environments without going over budget.

Comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution

The TS-253E supports various apps that cover all your backup needs. Practice safe IT habits by regularly backing up files and device content, allowing them to be easily restored when needed.

PC/Laptop backup

For Windows®, install NetBak Replicator to back up your PC to QNAP NAS. In macOS®, just set up the built-in Time Machine® to secure your data.

Cloud backup for NAS

Use Hybrid Backup Sync to back up NAS data to myQNAPcloud Storage or other mainstream cloud space. For backup to object cloud storage, VJBOD Cloud is especially useful to reduce bandwidth usage and backup time.

Remote backup for NAS

Hybrid Backup Sync makes it easy to back up data from a TS-253E to another QNAP NAS or remote server to fulfill your 3-2-1 backup strategy.

The best file storage and collaboration center

The TS-253E integrates rich apps for storing, managing, synchronizing, searching, and archiving files. It supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols for streamlined file sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX®, and provides the smartest NAS solution for professionally managing your files.
