The TS-453B comes with a sleek new look, featuring an OLED panel and two capacitive touch buttons. The TS-453B also features a PCIe port for boosting the potential applications of your NAS: the QNAP QM2 expansion card can be installed for adding an M.2 SSD cache/10GbE connectivity, a compatible wireless card can be installed to use the TS-453B as a wireless access point, and a USB 3.1 10Gbps card can be added for easier backup to/from multiple external storage devices. With a USB Type-C QuickAccess port and a SD card slot, the TS-453B simplifies transferring and sharing files without needing a network connection. The TS-453B also provides feature-rich multimedia functionality, such as 4K video playback and real-time transcoding. The multi-zone multimedia management app Cinema28 and popular web automation app IFTTT Agent also enrich your multimedia experience and NAS automation.
Powered by the latest 14 nm Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz processor (burst up to 2.3 GHz), up to 8GB DDR3L RAM, dual Gigabit LAN ports, and SATA 6Gb/s, the TS-453B runs tasks smoothly and quickly with up to 225 MB/s read/ write speeds. The TS-453B features Intel AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption to drive transfer speeds of up to 225 MB/s with AES 256-bit encryption for both full NAS volumes and shared folders, boosting system performance and security while ensuring the safety of sensitive data stored in the TS-453B.
With PCIe expansion, the TS-453B provides flexibility in extending NAS functionality and potential applications. Install a QNAP QM2 card to provide M.2 SSD caching/10GbE connectivity, or use the TS-453B as a wireless access point by installing a compatible wireless network card, or boost the USB connectivity of the TS-453B by installing a USB 3.1 10Gbps card.
QNAP's QM2 is a PCIe expansion card that features dual M.2 SSD slots and 10GbE connectivity* (individual cards may vary in functionality). This allows users to easily set up SSD caching or to enable Qtier auto-tiering technology to optimize NAS performance. 10GbE-compatible models can also future proof the TS-453B for use with 10GbE networks. Equipped with a dedicated cooling module, the QM2 can maintain its high performance even when tasked with the highest workloads.
The TS-453B features an all-new design with a sliding cover. The tool-less 3.5” hard drive installation makes it easier for users to set up and maintain the TS-453B. The OLED front panel displays system information (including temperatures, fan speed, and the capacity of hard drives, volumes and LUN) allowing you to quickly view the overall system status. Dust-proof capacitive touch buttons allow you to easily wake up the screen, change network IP settings and host password or even restart and shut down the system.
The TS-453B features an innovative USB-C QuickAccess port that allows you to complete the first-time installation and setup of your TS-453B without requiring network connectivity. The files and data stored on the TS-453B can also be directly accessed by using Qfinder Pro* and a USB Type-C cable**. You can also assign access rights to users for different folders to prevent unauthorized access to important files.
QNAP Hybrid Backup Sync provides a well-rounded solution for data backup, file synchronization and disaster recovery. With Hybrid Backup Sync, you can easily and securely backup data from your NAS to several local, remote and cloud storage spaces. In the event of system crashes or critical hardware failure, you can quickly restore data from these storage spaces, minimizing downtime and reducing overall loss. Hybrid Backup Sync also takes advantage of cloud storage for one-way sync of your data to cloud storage through RTRR, Rsync, FTP, SMB protocol, or two-way sync your NAS with remote NAS/cloud services.
The TS-453B supports SMB, NFS and AFP, allowing you to quickly share files to Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX devices. With QNAP's Qsync utility, the TS-453B becomes a safe data center for file synchronization with huge storage potential. Any file uploaded to TS-453B can be synchronized to all the linked devices such as computers, laptops and mobile devices. You can also sync shared folders to increase the flexibility of collaboration and file sharing. The SDXC card slot makes it easier to directly access and back up files stored on them, and the new exFAT driver (optional purchase, sold separately) provides compatibility with newer, faster SD cards.
The TS-453B’s QTS-Linux dual systems are based on QNAP’s advanced virtualization technologies. The revolutionary architecture of the TS-453B enables users not only to download rich apps from QTS App Center but also to develop or utilize IoT packages for Linux and display them using HDMI output. With the TS-453B, you can develop and install various IoT packages on demand and centrally store the data on the TS-453B, benefiting from a secure private storage and development solution.
