QNAP TS 453Be

With PCIe expansion, the TS-453Be 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-453Be as a wireless access point by installing a compatible wireless network card (ex. QNAP QWA-AC2600), or boost USB connectivity of the TS-453Be by installing a 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 card (USB 3.1).

Powered by a 1.5 GHz Intel Celeron J3455 Quad-Core processor (burst up to 2.3 GHz), 2GB of DDR3L RAM (up to 8GB), dual Gigabit LAN ports, and supporting SATA III 6 Gb/s hard drives, the TS-453Be provides dependable performance of up to 225 MB/s read/write speeds. The TS-453Be 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 while ensuring the security of sensitive data stored in the TS-453Be.

Snapshots help protect your data by fully recording the NAS system state and metadata. If a file is accidentally deleted or modified, you can use snapshots to quickly restore the file to its previously recorded state. QNAP snapshots are block based and only record the changed data. Not only does this save storage space, but also reduces the time required to back up and restore data. The TS-453Be supports up to 1024 snapshots per NAS and up to 256 snapshots per volume or LUN.

QNAP 10GbE/NBASE-T unmanaged switches allow you to instantly upgrade your network environment at a cost-effective price. With a 10GbE network, you can enjoy fast transfer speeds, empower bandwidth-demanding tasks like virtualization, and enable simultaneous real-time access to large NAS-based files using multiple workstations (good for video editing and multimedia). QNAP also provide a 10GbE PCIe network expansion card for the TS-453Be and Windows/Linux systems to take advantage of high-speed LAN environments.

Featuring 9th Generation Intel HD Graphics, the TS-453Be supports dual-channel 4K H.264/H.265 hardware decoding and real-time transcoding, allowing you to convert videos to universal file formats that can be played on multiple devices. Therefore, you can easily share movies and videos stored on your NAS with family and friends for their enjoyment on a range of devices. The QNAP RM-IR004 remote control (sold separately) can be configured using QButton to customize the actions of individual buttons, providing a more convenient NAS experience.

Note: The TS-453Be’s hardware provides H.264/H.265 hardware decoding, encoding, and transcoding capabilities. However, playback quality may vary due to factors including playback software, file formats, system usage, and available bandwidth.

QNAP provides a wide range of multimedia applications for you to easily enjoy photos, music, and videos. QVHelper allows users to stream media files or music playlists from a QNAP NAS to VLC player and Qmedia allows music, photos, and videos to be streamed to Android TVs or settop boxes. Video HD is a free KODI add-on that combines KODI’s streaming and video decoding capabilities and fully supports Video Station’s features.

The app-driven QTS operating system provides solutions for simplifying file backup, management, search, and more. With File Station, you can view and manage your files not only from the NAS, but also from multiple storage devices; the OCR Converter allows you to extract text from images; Qfiling helps automate file organization, and Qsirch helps quickly find files.

Centralized File Management
Use File Station to directly access files on USB devices, including optical disc drives. Files from different devices can be easily viewed and managed on a single interface.

File Digitization
OCR Converter extracts text from images, helping to boost productivity and making it easier to find files.

Smart Filing
Qfiling automates file organization. Files are automatically archived into folders based on your settings.

Full-Text Search
Qsirch quickly finds images, music, videos, documents, emails, and other files.

With integrated data backup, restoration, and synchronization, Hybrid Backup Sync helps you easily backup or synchronize data on the TS-453Be to other QNAP NAS, USB storage (one touch copy), or cloud storage. With Qsync, you can also access your NAS files from desktops, laptops, or mobile devices connected with the TS-453Be.

Virtualization Station and Container Station provide comprehensive solutions for creating virtualized environments to improve business IT infrastructure, workflows, and productivity.

Virtualization Station allows you to run multiple Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Android virtual machines on the TS-453Be. You can use Virtual Network Computing (VNC) through a browser to manage the VMs. Virtualization Station is made for organizations to run multiple applications on a single NAS.

Container Station integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. You can download apps from the built-in Docker Hub to easily import/export container apps and manage access control, enjoying the benefit of easy installation, transferability, and high-efficiency.

QNAP NAS now supports the popular 360° panorama recording format. By clicking the 360° panorama display button, these photos and videos will be displayed as 360° panorama media files. The QNAP mobile apps Qfile, Qphoto, and Qvideo also support 360° format viewing.

QNAP’s QVR Pro surveillance solution allows you to arrange a dedicated, independent storage space for surveillance data on TS-453Be and leverage the advantages of scalability and storage manageability from QTS. With QVR Pro, camera management, storage space allocation, camera live view, and playback become more user-friendly. You can also use QVR Pro Client’s mobile app to monitor anytime, or use a USB webcam as an ONVIF network camera with the QUSBCam2 app.

Surveillance Station provides an intelligent video management system to assist in managing real-time monitoring, video & audio recording, and playback with a wide range of customizable settings to safeguard your physical environment. You can use the Vmobile mobile app to manage the monitored channels, or install the Vcam mobile app to turn your device into a network camera to instantly record to your NAS.

You need an easy solution to increase storage capacity when running out of space. QNAP provides several ways to expand your NAS storage as needed to accommodate data and business growth.

Upgrade RAID Capacity
Hot swap lower-capacity drives with larger-capacity drives so that your QNAP NAS can grow with your business.

Attach Expansion Enclosures
Connect a UX-800P or UX-500P expansion enclosure and use the QTS Storage & Snapshots Manager to handle NAS capacity expansion.

VJBOD
Use VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) to expand your storage capacity by using the unused storage of other QNAP NAS. Up to 8 QNAP NAS can be mounted as local disks on the TS-453Be.

Migrate to a New NAS
Install your NAS hard drives into a larger QNAP NAS and retain all your existing data and configurations.
