QNAP TS-653D
Ideal for SOHO users and enthusiasts, this 6-bay NAS offers a powerful yet easy-to-use solution to backing up, syncing and sharing files, streaming videos, and more. It's powered by an Intel quad-core processor, features dual 2.5 GbE connectivity that has much higher throughput than 1 GbE, and supports PCIe expansion for add-on cards (sold separately) of 10 GbE, M.2 SSD for cache acceleration, or Wi-Fi 6. A built-in HDMI 2.0 connects to your 4K TV and directly plays media files stored on the NAS. Scalable storage lets you start small, and expand storage capacity with RAID or expansion enclosures (sold separately) as your data grows.
Dual 2.5GbE ports accelerate file sharing across teams and devices or gaming storage applications.
PCIe expansion allows for a Multi-Gig 10GbE or 5GbE network card, or a QM2 card to add M.2 NVMe or SATA SSDs for caching.
4K media playback and real-time transcoding; directly watch videos on an HDTV via HDMI 2.0 (4K @60Hz) output.
HBS provides comprehensive backup and data recovery; QuDedup deduplicates the data at the source to reduce storage space usage, bandwidth usage, and backup time.
Cloud storage gateways realize hybrid cloud applications by working with the cache space reserved on NAS to ensure low-latency data access to the cloud.
Hosts multiple virtual machines and containers to execute different applications in one NAS device.
Upgrade your NAS to 2.5GbE networks
The TS-653D 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.

A secure data center for backing up device data with snapshot protection
Windows and Mac backup
Use the license-free QNAP NetBak Replicator utility to back up and restore files from Windows computers. Apple’s Time Machine is supported for backing up Mac computers.
Snapshots for Volume & LUN
Snapshots are essential for NAS data protection, and their block-level feature makes it a dependable data protection method in the face of growing ransomware threats. The TS-653D supports up to 256 snapshots per volume/LUN, and up to 1,024 snapshots per NAS.
One 2.5GbE is better than two 1GbE for increasing HBS backup efficiency
With a single 2.5GbE connection, no complex link aggregation settings are required for speeds up to 312.5MB/s – easily beating a paired 1GbE connection. The TS-653D has two 2.5GbE ports, further doubling performance and increasing efficiency for versatile tasks.
Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS) consolidates backup and synchronization functions for easily transferring data from the TS-653D to local, remote and cloud storage spaces. HBS also supports QuDedup technology which removes duplicated data at the source, further accelerating backup and restoration tasks over 2.5GbE connections.
Abundant I/O capability with PCIe expansion
The TS-653D features one PCIe 2.0 slot that allows for various expansion cards for expanding application potential.
5GbE/10GbE network card
Enable lightning-fast throughput for bandwidth-demanding tasks, such as virtualization, massive data transmission, and fast backup/restoration.
QM2 M.2 SSD/10GbE card
Adds M.2 SSD caching or 10GbE (10GBASE-T) connectivity to the NAS for optimized performance and bandwidth.
Wi-Fi 6 wireless adapter
Install a PCIe 802.11AX network adapter (based on the Intel AX200) in your NAS to create a seamless Wi-Fi 6 network environment.
Wireless adapter

SSD caching and auto-tiering enable 24/7 optimized storage efficiency
While SSD prices continue to fall, and SSD capacity and performance continue to increase, organizations can easily take advantage of SSD strengths. The TS-653D supports numerous SSD-aware features that significantly maximize NAS performance with high cost-effectiveness.
SSD over-provisioning (Over-provisioning)
You can add additional SSD over-provisioning (1% ~60%) to avoid write amplification and improve SSD random write speeds and endurance. You can potentially attain enterprise-grade SSD performance levels from affordable consumer SSDs!
SSD cache acceleration
Enables SSD caching for increasing IOPS performance and reducing latency for storage volume. This feature is perfect for IOPS-demanding applications including databases and virtualization. The TS-653D also supports write-only cache to boost write-intensive applications.
Qtier for auto-tiering
Qtier technology drives auto-tiered storage with continuous data optimization across high-performance SSDs and high-capacity HDDs based on access frequency. I/O-Aware Qtier can reserve a cache-like space in the SSD tiered to handle burst I/O in real time.
The TS-653D has an HDMI 2.0 port that supports 4K (4096 x 2160) 60Hz output, allowing you to directly view multimedia content saved on the NAS on a bigger screen. The support of high-quality 4K video transcoding enables the NAS to convert videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices. The TS-653D also can stream videos through DLNA, Chromecast, and more to satisfy versatile multimedia application needs. The QNAP RM-IR004 remote control (sold separately) can be configured using QButton to customize individual button actions, providing a more user-friendly NAS experience.
Note: The TS-653D’s hardware provides hardware decoding, encoding, and transcoding capabilities. However, playback quality may vary due to factors including playback software, file formats, system usage, and available bandwidth.
By installing Plex Media Server from App Center, setting up the Plex Media Server on your NAS is only a few minutes away. You can stream media files stored on the TS-653D to mobiles and media streaming devices (including DLNA, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Google Chromecast).
Note: PlexPass is required for Plex Media Server hardware transcoding.
Move business data to the cloud flexibly and economically
The TS-653D perfectly integrates NAS with mainstream cloud services. By deploying cloud storage gateways and enabling local caching on the NAS, you can seamlessly use the cloud for storage, backup, and data recovery with low-latency access, providing an innovative hybrid cloud experience.
HybridMount file-based cloud gateway
Flexibly expand your storage capacity by connecting to cloud storage. You can leverage QTS apps to manage and edit your cloud files or multimedia files. HybridMount is ideal for file server online collaboration and file-level data analysis.
VJBOD Cloud block-based cloud gateway
VJBOD Cloud supports streamlined NAS backup to object cloud storage. The block-based data transmission uploads random data and large files to the cloud in blocks, and only transmits block-based volume or LUN changes (such as addition, modification, or deletion). This is ideal for enterprise-level applications with large file transfer requirements, such as databases, VM volumes, and videos.
All-in-one server to host virtual machines and containers
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.
Virtualization Station
Run multiple Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Android virtual machines and access them via a web browser or Virtual Network Computing (VNC). Businesses can run virtualized server applications on a single NAS without the need for additional physical servers.
Container Station
Experience LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies, download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry, import and export containers, and create abundant microservices.
The TS-653D centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX networks. Coupled with the Qsync utility, any file uploaded to the TS-653D will be made available for all linked devices (such as computers, laptops and mobiles). You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. With the myQNAPcloud service, you can easily and securely connect to the TS-653D via the Internet for accessing, managing, and sharing NAS files. The Windows AD and LDAP services enable system administrators to configure user permissions by using an existing Windows AD server, LDAP server, or the TS-653D’s built-in LDAP service.
