According to our NAS expert
The Qnap TS-253D-4G is a powerful NAS for small companies with room for 2 hard drives. Install these in a RAID 0 setup for extra speed, or RAID 1 setup for safe storage space. With this NAS, you can stream your 4K videos via Plex or provide a small office with wireless storage space. The TS-253D-4G has an Intel Celeron J4125 processor with a speed of up to 2.7GHz. Qnap has combined this with 4GB RAM to create a super fast NAS, with a good internet speed as well. This NAS has a double 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, which lets you reach speeds up to 5 gigabit. Install an M.2 or 10GbE module via the PCIe port. The NAS also includes 8 IP camera licenses, so you can save all your security footage from at home or the office.

Received yesterday and put into use today. This NAS replaces my TS-253 8Gb PRO, which is EOL as of April.
After unpacking it was a struggle to figure out how to put the HD's in. Unfortunately had to consult YT. After that everything went smoothly. From start-up to commissioning.
The only downside is that the HDs (WD-RED) clicked, so produced noise.
This NAS is therefore in a different room than the living room. An additional advantage is that it can accommodate unsupported RAM. This way you can upgrade the NAS to 16Gb RAM. Something that is nice if you are running a Linux station, for example.
I also use the computing power of the NAS to act as a VPN client. Every device in the house pops up via the NAS, behind a VPN.
Nice device, just a shame about the click of the HDs.
Furthermore, the NAS offers a wide range of options.

I was looking for a replacement for my old QNAP, which brought some more speed. That worked! In addition to a quad core processor, it has 4 Gb of internal memory. Optionally expandable to 8 GB. Installing the hardware is very easy. I installed a 4TB SSD for the drive. Before you can use it, you must first test your SSD. That was nines, but is necessary, before you can allocate volumes. Transferring the data is a breeze. The rsync connection to the old NAS works fine, so no cloud storage is needed. FTP setup is a bit more complicated because in addition to activating the service, you also need to create users and make your NAS available from the web via MyQNAP. With some help from the QNAP site you can figure it out.

Great product does what it's supposed to do. Run some virtual machines that the NAS can handle after RAM expansion.
