The TS-253A NAS server is designed to grow alongside with small and medium businesses, allowing its users to use the NAS as a storage device, but also a multitasking and multifunctional light-weight server. Not only is the TS-253A reliable, it is also packed with business-critical features such as LUN/ Volume Snapshot - allowing files/folders to revert to a previous state in case of any corruption, or file-loss. The TS-253A is powered by the latest Quad-core Intel Celeron N3150 CPU which allow users enjoy 4K (H.264) video playback and 1080P/4K video real-time transcoding right from the NAS to an HD/4K display.

Some useful specs/features include:

• NAS and iSCSI-SAN unified storage solution for server virtualization
• Supports VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft Hyper-V and advanced virtualization features
• AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption for efficient cryptographic performance up to 224 MB/s
• Supports hardware decoding and transcode 4K (H.264) videos on-the-fly or offline
• Dual HDMI outputs for switching between mirroring and extended desktop options
• Supports the Linux OS with direct output via HDMI
• Equipped with 24-bit digital to analog converter (DAC) for amplifier and clear audio

Powered by the latest 14 nm Intel Celeron N3150 quad-core 1.6GHz processor, dual-channel 4/8GB DDR3L-1600 RAM (upgradable to 8GB), 2 Gigabit LAN ports and SATA 6Gb/s, the TS-253A can deliver up to 224 MB/s read speeds. The TS-253A can automatically increase the processors clock rate from 1.6GHz to 2.08GHz when performing CPU-intensive tasks. The TS-253A features Intel AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption engine to drive transfer speeds of up to 224 MB/s with AES 256-bit encryption for both full NAS volume and shared folders, boosting system performance & security while ensuring the safety of sensitive business data stored in the TS-253A.

Superior real-time and offline 4K video transcoding*

Featuring advanced 8th-generation Intel HD Graphics, the TS-253A supports 4K (H.264) hardware decoding and delivers superior real-time 4K (H.264) and 1080p video transcoding to convert videos to universal formats that can be smoothly played on PCs, mobile devices and Smart TVs. With offline transcoding, even when you can only connect using a low-speed Internet connection, you can still enjoy smooth video playback via File Station, Video Station, and the Qfile mobile app by selecting a pre-rendered lower resolution video. The TS-253A also allows you to set a dedicated folder for automatic video transcoding.
