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.
On a first look, at least externally, the TS-653 Pro looks identical to the TS-670 we have reviewed quite some time ago and has resulted to be quite high-performance and solid product:
The Cloud Key for myQNAPcloud service is present on the sticker which resides on the top of the chassis:
Nearby we will be able to see another sticker with the HDD boot sequence:
In the front we have the six bays with locks along with the top display and also some additional interfaces:
The top left corner has the Power LED which also blinks during firmware updates/shutdown procedures, along with the QNAP logo:
Some extra status LEDs are available on top of the first two HDD bays:
We can navigate through the display menu via the Enter and Select buttons:
Underside the Power button we have the USB Copy button along with an USB 3.0 port:
The HDD trays are provided with ventilation holes which act as intake for the fans which are located in the back:
On the left side of the chassis we also have an additional ventilation grill which helps with the motherboard cooling:
