Datasheet

Hardware overview
TS-x53BU is equipped with the latest 14nm Intel® Celeron®
J3455 quad-core 1.5 GHz (up to 2.3 GHz) processor, 4GB/8GB
DDR3L dual channel RAM (expandable to 8GB). With four built-
in Gigabit Ethernet ports and SATA 6Gb/s support, providing
outstanding performance of up to 410MB/s read throughput.
TS-x53BU's enhanced encryption and decryption engine
provides transfer speeds of over 410 MB/s with AES 256-bit full
NAS volume encryption, so it is capable of protecting important
data while maintaining the system's high performance .
Maximize your NAS performance and utilization with QM2,
a M.2 SSD/10GbE LAN PCIe expansion card
The QM2 is a PCIe card that adds support for ultra-fast M.2 SSDs and 10GbE connectivity (optional) to a QNAP NAS*, eectively enhancing NAS
storage performance and le transmission stability. Up to two M.2 22110/2280 SSDs can be installed to create a RAID 1 or RAID 0 caching pool to
boost performance, or a storage volume to optimize storage eciency with Qtier. Combining SSD and 10GbE connectivity into one solution, the
QM2 can help you construct a 10GbE networking environment and carry out bandwidth-demanding operations.
PCIe expansion slot for multiple
storage applications
The TS-x53BU is equipped with a PCIe expansion slot, which
allows you to configure multiple applications as needed. A
10GbE PCIe NIC can be installed to connect your TS-x53BU NAS
to 10GbE networks, a wireless network card can be installed to
provide wireless base station functionality, or a USB 3.1 10Gbps
card can be installed to connect to USB devices. You can also use
M.2 SSDs to enable QNAP Qtier* auto-tiered storage and SSD
caching on the TS-x53BU. Qtier maximizes storage performance
by automatically moving frequently-accessed "hot" data to high-
performance volumes (SSD) and less-accessed "cold" data to
high-capacity volumes.
