Network Storage QNAP TS-253D-4G

```html TS-253D The proliferation of devices using the new Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard requires high bandwidth for both wired and wireless network connections. The TS-253D NAS is equipped with a quad-core Intel® Celeron® J4125 processor running at 2.0 GHz, as well as two 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports that provide data transfer speeds 2.5 times faster than Gigabit Ethernet, allowing the NAS to be used not only as a backup and media storage but also for game collections. Data transfer speeds of up to 5 GbE can be achieved by configuring the trunking of the two built-in ports. Thanks to the PCIe slot, the device's capabilities can be expanded with additional cards. The 4K HDMI output and real-time transcoding of content help the TS-253D function as a home media center. The 2.5 GbE ports enhance data access speeds without serious restructuring of the network infrastructure. PCIe slots can connect QM2 cards, wireless network adapters, and 5 GbE network cards. The integrated graphics processor allows for playback, transcoding, and viewing of videos up to 4K directly from the device to TVs or monitors. HBS provides complete data backup and recovery; QuDedup deduplicates data at the source to reduce disk space usage, bandwidth, and backup time. Instant snapshots of system and data states protect data from accidental damage and allow for quick recovery in case of virus attacks. Full virtual machines can be set up via Virtualization Station or in LXC/Docker containers. Certified for operation within VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft Hyper-V platforms. Upgrade your NAS for 2.5 GbE networks The TS-253D is equipped with two 2.5 GbE RJ45 network ports, to which existing CAT5e cables can be connected, increasing network speed from 1 GbE to 2.5 GbE. The ports also support trunking to enhance data transfer speeds up to 5 GbE. By using the QNAP N-BASET/Multi-Gig USB 3.2 Gen 1 – 5GbE adapter (model QNA-UC5G1T) or PCIe 5 GbE expansion cards (model QXG-5G1T-111C), you can connect a laptop or desktop computer to 2.5 GbE networks alongside the TS-253D. Virtualization Meets the demands of resource-intensive applications such as virtual machines and containers. Video Streaming Increases transfer speeds for smoother 4K video playback. Game Storage Connect iSCSI LUN block volumes to your computer to store massive game collections. Expansion capabilities via PCIe slot The TS-253D has one PCIe 2.0 slot for various expansion cards. Wireless Adapter Transform your NAS into a wireless access point or base station by installing the QNAP QWA-AC2600 wireless adapter and the WirelessAP Station app. 5GbE/10GbE Network Cards 5 and 10 GbE network cards elevate the NAS to a new level of data access. QM2 M.2 SSD/10GbE Cards Organize caching on M.2 SSD or connect 10 GbE (10GBASE-T) for optimized performance and bandwidth. Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Adapter Install the Wi-Fi 6 802.11AX wireless adapter (based on Intel® AX200) to create a unified Wi-Fi 6 network environment. SSD Caching and Automatic Tiering As SSD prices continue to fall while their capacity and performance rise, using such SSDs in NAS provides additional advantages. The TS-253D supports numerous SSD features that significantly enhance data processing and access performance. 4K HDMI and Real-Time Video Transcoding The TS-253D is equipped with an HDMI 2.0 port that supports output resolutions up to 4K (4096 x 2160) at 60 Hz, allowing direct viewing of multimedia content stored on the NAS. Support for high-quality 4K video transcoding helps convert videos into universal file formats that can be correctly played on multiple devices. The TS-253D can also stream video via DLNA®, Chromecast, and other network protocols to expand playback capabilities. Note: The hardware architecture of the TS-253D provides hardware decoding, encoding, and transcoding. However, playback quality may vary depending on factors such as playback software, file formats, system usage, and available network bandwidth. Build a Plex Media Server Install the Plex® server from the App Center; setup takes just a few minutes. This application includes extensive capabilities for cataloging and streaming multimedia files from the NAS to mobile devices and media streaming devices, including DLNA®, Roku®, Amazon Fire TV®, and Google Chromecast™. Simple and Secure File Management The File Station application within the QTS operating system web interface provides centralized access to files stored on your TS-253D and in the cloud. Upload files, move them between folders, rename or delete them, and set access permissions to prevent unauthorized access. With Microsoft Office Online, you can directly open and edit Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-253D without needing to download them to a local device. Multi-layer Backup, Access, and File Synchronization The TS-253D supports common file sharing protocols SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS for Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX® devices. Combined with the Qsync utility (which transforms QNAP NAS into a secure high-performance data processing center for file synchronization), any attachment to the NAS becomes accessible to all connected devices such as computers, laptops, and mobile devices. HBS (the built-in backup program in the QTS operating system) will perform backup and synchronization of data between the TS-253D and another QNAP storage, remote server, or cloud storage for disaster recovery. The built-in QuDedup technology significantly enhances efficiency and disk space utilization when storing multiple versions of data by deduplicating backup data. Install the QuDedup Extract Tool on your computer to restore deduplicated files to their original state. Protect Important Data with Snapshots Snapshots record the system state at any time. If an unforeseen situation arises, you can revert to the previous state of the data recorded earlier in a snapshot. The storage manager offers an easy-to-use snapshot creation tool where you can perform backup and recovery of disk volumes and LUNs at any time to prevent data loss. Notification Center Stay informed of events The Notification Center application consolidates system events and QTS notifications within a single window for centralized configuration of all messages and system logs. Next-Generation Video Surveillance Solution QVR Pro creates a dedicated, independent storage space for video surveillance data on the TS-253D and leverages the scalability and manageability of QTS storage. The solution significantly simplifies camera management, allocation of storage space for recordings, real-time image viewing, and archive playback, while the QVR Pro Client mobile app provides universal monitoring of surveillance channels. NAS as a Multi-OS Platform Virtualization Station and Container Station provide comprehensive solutions for creating virtualized environments. Virtualization Station The Virtualization Station is a built-in hypervisor with a user-friendly dashboard for running and maintaining multiple virtual machines running Windows®, Linux®, UNIX®, and Android™ directly on the TS-253D. You can import and export virtual machines, take snapshots, and track user activity. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is supported for desktop access via a browser. Container Station Container Station combines LXC and Docker® lightweight virtualization technologies. Download applications from the built-in Docker Hub® to easily import or export container applications and manage them. ```
