Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2014-11-29
The TS-653 Pro NAS from QNAP is built on a solid Intel platform and while using the chassis from last year, the power consumption is noticeably less, while keeping a high level of performance. Thanks to the Intel Celeron J1900 Quad-Core, we also have transcoding capabilities up to 4K and we would also like to remind the QvPC technology which permits using the TS-653 Pro as a regular PC.
For the next article QNAP has offered us on of their latest 6-bay NASes, the TS-653 Pro which features Intels’ Bay Trail-D processor – Celeron J1900 Quad-Core at 2.0GHz and is paired with 8GB of DDR3L RAM for running VMs. The product is shipped inside a medium-sized box which shows a photo of the product in operation on the frontal side, along with a product description:
On the laterals, QNAP lists some of the NAS functionalities in different languages, along with a description of the main NAS interfaces:
On the back we have a more detailed product description available:
After the removal of the top cover, we will end up checking out the list of package contents:
The TS-653 Pro NAS is carefully surrounded with lots of foam material, while the bundle is located in the middle, packaged separate transparent plastic bags:
Besides the power lead, we will get a small bag with necessary screws and HDD tray lock keys, two LAN cables but also a Quick Installation Guide:
Additionally, QNAP has wrapped the NAS inside a transparent plastic bag in order to make sure that no scratch happens before the unboxing:
