QNAP Adds Support for the QuTS hero Operating System to TS-253E and TS-453E NAS
2 or 4-bay NAS with ZFS Immutability, data integrity, optimized SSD applications, and long-term availability (up to 2029)
Taipei, Taiwan, October 1, 2024- QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solution innovator, today 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.
Note:
- Switching between QTS 5.2.1 and QuTS hero h5.2.1 is currently only available for the TS-253E and TS-453E NAS models. Support for other NAS models will be announced later.
- Users must back up their NAS data to another storage (such as another QNAP NAS, myQNAPcloud Storage or clouds), then switch the OS. Click here to learn more: https://www.qnap.com/go/how-to/faq/article/how-can-i-switch-my-nas-from-quts-hero-to-qts
- Users can also migrate data from an old QTS NAS to a new QTS NAS with few initial settings. Click here to learn more: https://www.qnap.com/go/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-migrate-data-folder-permissions-between-qts-and-quts-hero-with-hbs3
