The models are available with up to eight gigabytes of RAM, whereby the individual models also differ in the number of drive bays.

The QNAP TS-253D with its four gigabytes of RAM only accepts two 3.5 or 2.5-inch drives, the QNAP TS-453D and the QNAP TS-653D four or six. The latter two variants are available with a four or eight gigabyte RAM.

The QNAP NAS is also expandable: specifically, a single PCIe Gen 2 port with up to four lanes is available. A network card or an SSD can be installed in this. Upon request, the QNAP TS-x53D NAS can also function as a media center for high-resolution content, for which an HDMI 2.0 port is available. As usual, not only the storage of files and their central accessibility by the NAS is possible, so extensive backup plans should also be created. The use as cloud storage is supported as well as the execution of virtual machines and the establishment of a center for video surveillance.
