Selling this like new QNAP rackmount NAS. This is much more than just a NAS as it can do all sorts of server functions with QNAPs first and third party apps. It can serve as a home media server, Time Machine server, backup server, virtual server, VPN, etc... I ran this for a home media and time machine server. It is overkill for what I used it for. This unit came with 8Gb of memory and no storage.

This thing is built for redundancy with dual hot swappable power supplies, ability to set up a whole variety of RAID or JBOD with whatever hard drives you throw into it.

I took out all the hard drives and recently reset the unit. All you need to do is put in a hard drive into one of the bays and initialize the server.

The TS-1253BU-RP is a 2U rackmount NAS that easily fits into a standard 19-inch rack, providing an ideal storage solution in the server room for small and medium businesses. The TS-1253BU-RP comes with a PCIe slot for boosting potential applications: the QNAP QM2 expansion card can be installed to add an M.2 SSD cache/10GbE connectivity, a compatible wireless card can be installed to use the TS-1253BU-RP as a wireless access point, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 card can be added for easier backup to/from multiple external storage. The TS-1253BU-RP also provides a wide range of value-added features: 4K video playback and real-time transcoding; deployment of virtual environments through Virtualization Station and Container Station; centralized management of remote Windows®, Linux® and IPMI-compatible devices with QRM+; and web automation services with IFTTT Agent.

PCIe slot supports installing a QNAP QM2 dual-port M.2 SSD/10GbE card, a compatible wireless adapter, or a USB 3.2 Gen 2 card.
Supports dual-channel 4K H.264 hardware decoding and on-the-fly or offline transcoding
Qfiling automates file organization and Qsirch provides full-text search for easier file management
QRM+ enables centralized management of remote Windows®, Linux® and IPMI-compatible devices.
A hybrid approach to virtualization in one NAS: Virtualization Station and Container Station
Scalable storage space with VJBOD and UX-1200U-RP/UX-800U-RP expansion enclosures

I would consider trading for a newer iPad pro (m3+) with cellular.
