Intel® Celeron® J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz CPU with AES-NI Encryption

Powered by the latest 14 nm Intel® Celeron® J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz processor (burst up to 2.3GHz), 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.

Extend NAS functionality with the PCIe Slot

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.

QM2 expansion card redefines NAS function

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.

OLED panel with capacitive touch buttons

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.

Why is QNAP's snapshot support better?

Snapshots are a must-have feature for modern storage systems. QNAP's snapshots help protect your folders, files, and iSCSI LUNs. In the event of malware attacks or unwanted changes, your stored data can be quickly reverted and restored to a specific point in time to ensure continuity.

Check out the difference between QNAP 's snapshot support compared to competitor products.

Snapshot Application	QNAP	Competitors that use Btrfs (S-brand, N-brand)	Other competitors (W-brand, B-brand)
Block-based iSCSI LUN (Thick Provisioning and Thin Provisioning)
File-based iSCSI LUN (Thin Provisioning)	Protected by the volume snapshot, the process is done within seconds.
File-based iSCSI LUN (Thick Provisioning)	Protected by the volume snapshot, the process is done within seconds
Volume (Multiple Folders)
Shared Folder	With Snapshot Shared Folder
Availability	All x86-based (Intel/AMD) models *ARM-based models	Only available on selected models

Directly access files with USB-C QuickAccess

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.

* Qfinder Pro and USB QuickAccess support Windows 8.0 (and later) and Mac OS X 10.7 (and later). Other versions may require driver installation.

Data backup, recovery, and synchronization

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.

Share and sync files across devices

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.

QTS-Linux dual systems, geared for the IoT era

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.
