This reliable and secure NAS series delivers cost-efficiency by offering more value-added capabilities, including PCIe expansion, multi-cloud backup, cloud storage gateway, 4K HDMI output. The series comes with a 3-year standard warranty, and can be extended up to 5 years with a purchased warranty extension.

“The TS-x53D allows users to upgrade network speeds from 1Gb to 2.5Gb using existing CAT5e cables, and to streamline file backup and sharing, video streaming, and even gaming storage,” said Jason Hsu, product manager. “Qnap’s QSW 10GbE/Multi-Gig switch also provides a perfect addition to create a high-speed, future-proof collaborative network environment.”

QM2 network/storage card

The TS-x53D series is powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor (bursts up to 2.7GHz), with up to 8GB DDR4 memory. The built-in dual 2.5GbE RJ45 ports can deliver up to 5GbE transfer speeds under Port Trunking. The PCIe 2.0 slot allows for installing expansion cards to enhance NAS functionality (such as a 5GbE/10GbE network card, a QM2 network/storage card, or a QWA-AC2600 wireless adapter. The NAS supports SSD caching for low-latency applications, or can become auto-optimized tiered storage with Qtier technology to achieve performance while also balancing storage utilization.

Designed for professionals, the TS-x53D series supports advanced file storage, sharing, backup, sync, and data protection to help users accomplish productive daily tasks. Block-based snapshots make data protection and recovery easier and effectively mitigate the threats of ransomware. HBS (Hybrid Backup Sync) realizes local/remote/cloud backup jobs, and features QuDedup technology that deduplicates backup files at the source to save backup time, space, bandwidth, and to accelerate multi-version backups for protection. The TS-x53D also has multimedia functionality with an HDMI 2.0 output for displaying up to 4K (4096 x 2160) videos @60Hz, high-quality 4K video transcoding for converting videos to universal file formats, and video streaming through DLNA, Plex, and Chromecast.

The TS-x53D is flexible and versatile. Its storage capacity is scalable by connecting the company’s storage expansion enclosures or by using VJBOD function to utilize unused storage capacity of other firm’s NAS. The functionality of the TS-x53D can also be extended by installing apps from the built-in QTS App Center, such as hosting multiple VMs and containers, deploying a cloud storage gateway, implementing a professional video surveillance system.
