QNAP TS-253E-8G
QNAP TS-253E-8G
The QNAP TS-253E-8G NAS serves as a centralised network storage device for storing, backing up and sharing data in both home and business environments. The device is powered by a quad-core Intel Celeron processor with a frequency of up to 2.6GHz, complemented by 8GB of DDR4 RAM. This memory is expandable up to 16GB via two slots. The network storage supports RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD arrays and helps protect stored data from the potential failure of any hard drives.
Key features of the QNAP TS-253E-8G NAS
- The motherboard has a quad-core Intel Celeron processor with a frequency of up to 2.6GHz
- 8GB of DDR4 RAM, expandable up to 16GB
- The device includes two 2.5Gb/s Ethernet ports
- The internal system offers two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for cache acceleration
- The chassis provides two 3.5″ SATA hard drive bays
- Offers two HDMI outputs with 4K resolution support
- The storage supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD disk arrays
- Device dimensions are 168.5 × 102 × 225mm
Network interface
The device includes two 2.5GbE LAN ports, which speed up file transfers on the local network. The storage achieves read speeds of up to 295MB/s and write speeds of up to 294MB/s. This allows users to back up data, transfer large folders, or stream multimedia content more quickly. The two high-throughput Ethernet ports support Wake-on-LAN and Jumbo Frame functions, contributing to efficient network traffic management when multiple users are accessing the device simultaneously.
M.2 NVMe slots
The storage integrates two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 × 2 slots for installing fast NVMe SSDs. These bays are used to set up an SSD cache, which accelerates data reading and writing on the standard hard drives in the main bays. The device supports 3.5" SATA HDDs, as well as 2.5" SATA HDDs and SSDs. Acceleration via fast SSD storage reduces the response time of the QTS operating system when running demanding applications and transferring data.
Video outputs
The two HDMI 1.4b outputs support resolutions of up to 3840 × 2160 pixels at a frequency of 30Hz. You can connect monitors or TVs to the device for direct playback of stored content without needing a network transfer. The pair of video output connectors is complemented by a total of six USB ports, which include two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with a speed of 10Gb/s, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports.
Encryption and data protection
The integrated AES-NI hardware encryption engine helps protect sensitive files from unauthorised access without reducing transfer speeds. The QTS operating system offers snapshot tools that make it easier to recover data after a potential ransomware attack. The backup functions also protect stored files through support for Apple Time Machine, synchronisation between multiple NAS units and backups to cloud services.
Surveillance system
The device can be operated as a central server for managing IP cameras and recording security footage. The system can handle up to 8 connected cameras simultaneously and save the captured video to the hard drives. Managing a camera system via the network storage has a typical power consumption of 18.09W and 10.56W in standby mode. The device operates reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C.
