2x M.2 NVMe slots for SSD caching
2x 2.5GbE, 2x HDMI™
Long-term availability (Up to year 2029)
The TS-253E features 2.5GbE connectivity, 8GB RAM, and M.2 slots for NVMe SSD caching to deliver high performance for applications such as surveillance systems, virtual machines, file servers or backup servers. Dual HDMI™ outputs also provide direct multimedia playback and robust surveillance monitoring.
