QNAP TS-453E – Flexible storage for business networks

Key specifications at a glance

Configure storage around your needs

Install up to four SATA HDDs or SSDs and choose from RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 or JBOD. Online RAID migration and expansion help you adjust an existing array as requirements change. The NAS also supports automatic rebuilds and hot spares.

Two M.2 slots support SSD caching, which can help speed up frequently accessed data. Because this unit is diskless, you can choose drives and capacity to suit your workload.

Keep business data accessible and protected

QTS supports shared folders, access permissions and snapshots. Snapshots let you restore files or volumes to an earlier point, which can help mitigate data loss from unwanted changes or ransomware.

Backup options include cloud services and iSCSI LUNs. The NAS also supports USB copying, while QNAP applications can handle PC, Mac, remote NAS and virtual machine backups.

Connect screens and network devices

The dual 2.5GbE ports support multi-gigabit networking, and the two HDMI outputs support resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz. This gives you options for direct display use, including surveillance monitoring.

For local devices, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two USB 2.0 ports. The Intel Celeron J6412 processor has four cores and can boost up to 2.6GHz.
