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 highperformance volumes (SSD) and less-accessed "cold" data to
high-capacity volumes.

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*, eectively 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 eciency 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.

Low-cost, exible storage expansion
The TS-x53BU can be connected to a QNAP expansion enclosure
to scale up the storage capacity (Raw Capacity) online without
downtime and easily managed with QTS Storage Manager. With
QJBOD Express, you can connect a TS-x53BU to a suitable QNAP
expansion enclosure (UX-1200U-RP) to quickly transfer data
to another storage expansion device without going through a
network. VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) allows users to maximize their
storage utilization by expanding the capacity of a QNAP NAS
using the unused storage space of another QNAP NAS.
QRM+: Centralized management solution
for networked computing devices
QRM+ is QNAP's Centralized Management Solution, designed for
IT teams, for networked computing devices. It provides a singlepoint solution to discover, map, monitor and manage all of the
critical computing devices (including servers, PCs, and thin
clients) in your network, and facilitates device discovery with the
graphical topology diagram. QRM+ supports IPMI 2.0, provides
remote KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) for certain IPMI devices,
and supports tracking every action using KVM recording and
playback.

conditions.
Surveillance Station - Build a
Optimize 4K workows with 4K HDMI output
The rack-mountable TS-x53BU supports 4K @30Hz through
HDMI output, providing great benefits for applications like
video production/editing, industrial design and professional
photography that demand on-image resolution and color
realism as well as intensive media storage, transfer and display.
TS-x53BU supports dual-channel 4K H.264/H.265 hardware
decoding and real-time transcoding, allowing you to convert
videos to universal le formats that can be smoothly played on
multiple devices*
* The TS-x53BU’s hardware provides H.264 /H.265 hardware decoding, encoding and
transcoding capabilities. However, playback quality may vary due to factors including playback
software, le formats, system usage, and available bandwidth.
professional surveillance system
Surveillance Station is compatible with over 3,000 IP camera
models, and has scalable camera channel license for building
and expanding a professional surveillance system. The mobile
app Vmobile can be used to monitor your channels from
anywhere using mobile devices. With QvPC's "Surveillance
Station (Local Display)" function, you can directly view live video
feeds or existing footage on an HDMI display. The TS-x53BU
oers 4 free IP camera channel licenses, and up to 40 channels
can be purchased to expand your surveillance system.
