In addition to its M.2 SSD caching, the new the TS-x53Be series supports Qtier auto-tiering technology for optimum storage utilization that small and medium business and organizations seek. Users also have the option to use the PCIe slot for a 10GbE 10GBASE-T/ SFP+ card, USB 3.1 Gen2 10Gbps card, or a QNAP QW-AC2600 wireless card based.
