QNAP TS-253E-8G - 2-bay NAS, Black

The QNAP TS-253E-8G 2-bay NAS is a tower-style storage device for centralizing data in small to medium-sized businesses. It is powered by an Intel Celeron J6412 quad-core processor (2.0 GHz) and includes 8 GB of RAM. The unit features two hot-swappable bays for 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA III drives, along with two M.2 slots for cache or dedicated storage volumes. Users can configure the primary drives in RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD modes. Dual 2.5 GbE Ethernet ports provide speeds of up to 2500 Mbit/s, significantly faster than standard Gigabit connections. The NAS is designed for backup, file sharing, and snapshot-based data protection.

The black chassis contains a 70 mm cooling fan to regulate operating temperatures. Connectivity includes two HDMI 1.4b ports for direct video output and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports for peripherals. Power is provided by an external adapter, with a typical power consumption of 24.2 W. Security features include a Kensington lock slot, password authentication, and HTTPS support. Running the QNAP QTS 5.0.1 operating system, the device is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, and supports data synchronization with cloud services, external USB drives, and iSCSI LUNs. System administrators can manage the unit via a web-based interface that provides system logging and access control lists.
