The new-generation Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) trend has increased bandwidth requi rements for wired and wireless network connections.
While providing modern organizations with an effective NAS option for upgrading to 2.5GbE environments for productive daily backup/restore duties, the Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor in the TS-253D also gives gamers with adequate storage space for their enormous gaming libraries.
QNAP TS-253D NAS Tower Ethernet LAN Black J4125 also supports PCIe expansion, multi-cloud backup, cloud storage gateways, 4K HDMI output, and real-time transcoding, in addition to expandable storage space and feature-rich programs, allowing it to function as a cost-effective, dependable 2.5 GbE NAS.
The TS-253D comes with two 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports that allow you to use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit.
The dual 2.5GbE ports also support Port Trunking for up to 5 Gbps! By using QNAP’s N-BASET/Multi-Gig USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE adapter (Model name QNA-UC5G1T) or 5GbE PCIe expansion card (Model name QXG-5G1T-111C), your laptop or desktop computer can easily connect to 2.5GbE networks with the TS-253D to benefit from higher network speeds.
When it comes to upgrading your network, 2.5GbE connection is a no-brainer because of its immediate benefits. Five 2.5GbE ports backwards compatible with 1G/100M and CAT5e cables are supported by the QSW-1105-5T unmanaged switch. With the QSW-1105-5T, loop detection and blocking are supported to create a simple and effective high speed network environment that is energy efficient, low in noise, and plug and play.
The Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor (bursts up to 2.7 GHz) powers the TS-253D, which has up to 8 GB DDR4 memory and supports SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs. The Intel AES-NI encryption engine is supported, which improves encryption performance while simultaneously ensuring the security of your NAS data. You can deploy SSDs for cache acceleration in a variety of ways to improve network and storage performance for data-intensive applications.
As a comprehensive data storage and disaster recovery plan, Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS) consolidates backup, restoration, and synchronization functions (using RTRR, Rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB) for easily transferring data in the TS-253D to local, remote, and cloud storage spaces (including Microsoft One Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and more).
HBS minimizes backup data size and speeds up future backup activities by supporting QuDedup technology, which eliminates duplicated data at the source. This is also useful for speeding up multi-version backups for enhanced data loss prevention.
The TS-253D features one PCIe 2.0 slot that allows for various expansion cards for expanding application potential.
Organizations may readily capitalize on SSD capabilities as SSD prices continue to fall and SSD capacity and performance rise. The TS-253D supports a number of SSD-aware technologies that dramatically improve NAS performance while being cost-effective.
4K HDMI display and real-time video transcoding provide the ultimate visual experience. The TS-253D includes an HDMI 2.0 connector that enables 4K (4096 x 2160) 60Hz output, allowing you to view multimedia content stored on the NAS on a larger screen.
The NAS's support for high-quality 4K video transcoding allows it to convert videos to universal file formats that can be played on a variety of devices. To meet the needs of many multimedia applications, the TS-253D can also stream videos via DLNA, Chromecast, and other methods.

The TS-253D seamlessly connects NAS with popular cloud services. You can use the cloud for storage, backup, and data recovery with low-latency access by establishing cloud storage gateways and activating local caching on the NAS, delivering an innovative hybrid cloud experience.
Regardless of your virtualization needs, you can count on Virtualization Station and Container Station for complete virtualization support. You can use Network & Virtual Switch to allocate adequate physical network resources to virtual machines, containers, and the NAS to simplify network deployment.
The TS-253D centrally stores data and files and offers file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX networks using SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols.
When used in conjunction with the Qsync program, any file uploaded to the TS-253D is made available to all associated devices (such as computers, laptops and mobiles). To improve the flexibility of team projects and cooperation, you can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing.
You can quickly and securely connect to the TS-253D through the Internet using the myQNAPcloud service for accessing, managing, and sharing NAS data. System administrators can configure user permissions using an existing Windows AD server, an LDAP server, or the TS-253D's built-in LDAP service using the Windows AD and LDAP services.
QVR Pro enables you to set up a separate storage area for surveillance data on the TS-253D and take use of the benefits of expandable NAS storage. It makes camera management, storage space allocation, camera live view, and playback much easier.
QVR Pro supports over 5,000 IP cameras (including all conventional fisheye cameras on the market) and offers 8 license-free channels for surveillance monitoring, as well as the optional QVR Pro Camera Channel Extension License for more broad security deployment. You can also monitor at any time with the QVR Pro Client mobile app, or use a USB webcam as an ONVIF network camera with the QUSBCam2 software.
