Hardware overview

Powered by Intel® Celeron® quad-core processor and encryption acceleration engine

TS-x53B uses the latest 14nm Intel® Celeron® J3455 quad-core 1.5 GHz (up to 2.3 GHz) processor and 4GB/8GB DDR3L dual channel RAM (expandable to 8GB).
With two built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports and SATA 6Gb/s support, the TS-x53B provides up to 224MB/s continuous read/write performance for quick and smooth
running of tasks. TS-x53B has a built-in AES-NI encryption engine using AES-256-bit encryption acceleration technology for NAS volume encryption or folder
encryption and can maintain up to 224MB/s data read/write speed, so it is able to protect important information in the TS-x53B while maintaining the system's
high performance and security at the same time. Users can also install a 10GbE network adapter using the PCIe slot for compatibility with 10GbE networks.

OLED display and touch-sensitive buttons

The TS-x53B has a new contemporary design with a simple and elegant appearance. The tool-less
installation of 3.5-inch hard disks makes the installation process a breeze. The OLED screen shows
the TS-x53B status for users to easily view system status, storage capacity, temperature, volume,
and other information. The capacitive touch-sensitive buttons allow users to control the NAS,
including power options, network IP settings and host password.

USB-C QuickAccess, plug and play

The TS-x53B uses USB-C QuickAccess to simplify NAS setup. Connect
the USB Type-C cable* to your PC and use Qfinder Pro** for first-time
installation and setup. USB-C QuickAccess can also be used to directly
access data stored in the TS-x53B. Connect your Windows/Mac computer
to the USB-C QuickAccess port on the TS-x53B front panel, find TS-x53B
in Qfinder Pro and finish the installation. No complex network settings are
required. You can also flexibly set up access permissions to ensure data
security.

Tested in QNAP laboratories. Data may vary due to
differences in physical environments.

Test environment:
NAS:TS-453B
OS: QTS 4.3.2

IOMeter settings: switch between multiple PCs, transfer
32GB files for 3 minutes. Block size: 64KB, SMB2.0

Low-cost, flexible storage expansion

The TS-x53B 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. This easy expansion makes
the TS-x53B suitable for applications in data-intensive industries, such
as surveillance video storage, mass data storage or TV archival storage.
With QJBOD Express**, you can connect a TS-x53B to a suitable QNAP
expansion enclosure (UX-500P or UX-800P) to quickly transfer data
to another storage expansion device supported by NAS 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.

* To expand storage space using an UX Expansion Enclosure, you must create a
separate static volume or storage pool on the UX Expansion Unit.
** RAID groups for storage pools can not be spread across multiple expansion
devices.

* USB-C cable sold separately.
** Qfinder Pro and USB QuickAccess only support Windows 8, 10 (and later) and
Mac OS 10.7 (or later). Some operating systems may require additional drivers.

The TS-x53B Series

4K video conversion and HDMI output

The TS-x53B features Intel® 9th generation HD Graphics for 4K video playback (HDMI) and transcoding, making it a complete multimedia center for direct
audiovisual output*. Transcoding allows videos to be easily converted to universal formats and resolutions for playing on multiple devices and in bandwidth­constricted areas. The Linux Station app allows users to directly download from the Ubuntu Software Center, providing apps such as Plex Media Server,
KMPlayer, LibreOffice, VLC and other playback software. The TS-x53B also features an integrated HD Station app and support for third-party players (such as Plex
Home Theater) that can be used when the NAS is connected to an HDTV or A/V receiver to directly play the multimedia files stored on the TS-x53B. TS-x53B
has dual HDMI output, and supports either "mirrored" or "extended" display. The Qremote mobile app can convert your mobile devices into convenient remote
controls.

* Multimedia playback capability may vary according to the application, device, and network environment.

PCIe expansion slot for multiple storage applications

The TS-x53B is equipped with a PCIe expansion slot, which allows you

QM2 M.2 SSD /

10GbE network expansion card

to configure multiple applications as needed. A 10GbE PCIe NIC can be
installed to connect your TS-x53B 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-x53B. Qtier maximizes storage performance by
automatically moving frequently-accessed "hot" data to high-performance

Dual-port USB 3.1 Gen 2

Dual-band 2.4 GHz/5 GHz WIFI

PCI Express network expansion card

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*, effectively enhancing NAS storage
performance and file 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 efficiency 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.

IFTTT Agent - Workflow automation to
improve work efficiency

IFTTT (If This Then That) is currently the most popular network automation
service, which allows you to freely connect various network-related devices
or services to create a variety of simple and powerful workflows. Once
you have bound your IFTTT account with your TS-x53B, you can create a
variety of small services to automate tasks. For example, you can set the
trigger condition as "when a photo is added" and set response action as
"download photos to TS-x53B", so you can automatically back up photos
to your NAS. With a wide range of triggers and actions, IFTTT Agent can
greatly simplify daily tasks with greater automation.

The TS-x53B is a photographer's best friend

Photographer A: The storage capacity is never enough! My photos are all stored in RAW file format, so
my SD cards quickly reach their capacity. Even when saved to my computer, RAW files take up too much
computer storage space...

Photographer B: I want to quickly back up my photos. Photography is for moment catching, and every
picture is precious. How do I save my photos in a good manner?

The TS-x53B supports exFAT-based devices with the purchase of an additional license. An SD card slot is
featured on the front panel of the TS-x53B for quick and easy access. By connecting your computer to the
TS-x53B's USB-C QuickAccess port, you can easily back up the photos and files on your computer to your
NAS.

The photos stored in TS-x53B can then be managed using the Photo Station app. Photo Station is a
brilliant app for managing and sharing all of the photos on your TS-x53B. It is easy to use and you can
