QNAP announced that it has added support for QuTS hero, QNAP’s ZFS-based NAS operating system, to the popular TS-253E and TS-453E NAS models.
- TS-253E-8G: 2 drive bays, 8 GB RAM
- TS-453E-8G: 4 drive bays, 8 GB RAM
The TS-x53E series is powered by an Intel Celeron J6412 quad-core processor (burst up to 2.6 GHz), which will be available and supported by QNAP for an extended period (up to 2029).
The 2-bay TS-253E is currently the QNAP NAS model with the fewest drive bays that support QuTS hero. Now small-sized organizations can also benefit from ZFS technologies to optimize applications that require utmost reliability, such as data integrity with features like Self-healing and WORM (Write Once, Read Many Times), snapshots (up to 65,536 versions), and inline data deduplication (note: RAM must be expanded to 16GB) for maximizing storage efficiency. Businesses also can deploy a zero RPO disaster recovery plan by leveraging real-time SnapSync that achieves real-time data synchronization between two NAS.
