Efficient Multitasking Operation

The system is based on the economical Intel Celeron 1.6GHz quad-core processor made from 14nM technology. In any case where high power is required, like during peak workloads, the value is increased to 2.08GHz, in order to smoothly overcome any fluctuations. The processor works together with the economical DDR3L RAM in a SO-DIMM design, which is recognisable from notebooks. Network performance is in charge of two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that can be used in the "merger" of the port and reach speeds of up to 2GB/sec. The drive controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD with AES-NI hardware encryption speeds of up to 412MB/sec, both for the entire NAS volume, as well as for shared folders. This improves system performance and security.

Ready for IoT era

The dual QTS-Linux system on this device uses advanced QNAP virtualisation technology. The advanced architecture allows for endless opportunities to download a variety of applications from the App Center or the QTS App Center, as well as download developments or use IoT packages for the Linux and display them via an HDMI output. Connect a keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor to the Linux TS-453a workstation and use it just like you would if you were working on your PC. It can also operate as a remote desktop for instant management through a web browser.

Great multimedia

Through the HDMI interface, the NAS can connect to any display, projector or home theater so that you can enjoy multimedia content in high definition with 7.1 sound. Watch videos on YouTube or browse the web. The package also includes an infrared remote control with smart features that you can use to program frequently used features and buttons. The device also supports cloud storages like Google Drive and Dropbox, among others.

Simple and effective interface QTS 4.2

The intuitive and easy control of this smart home storage system is provided by the modern QTS 2.4. Its modern flat design optimises loading times and its intelligent desktop lets you quickly find the features you need, create desktop shortcuts or perform real-time monitoring of critical system information. But don't settle for just one system. With support for virtualisation, you can greatly expand the use of your NAS. Create virtual computers, back them up, and restore them all on a web interface.

Wide possibilities

This data storage brings even more advanced features such as backing up through NetBak Replikator or using Apple Time Machine. Take the opportunity to host Web servers, FTP servers or VPN servers that support L2TP/IPsec, OpenVPN, and PPTP. Another plus is the possibility of using a professional surveillance solution 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Karaoke lovers will be delighted to see a pair of 6.3mm jacks for connecting up to two dynamic microphones.
