Handy, quiet and compact. The stylish tech gadget for everyday use.

Designed with a "NASbook" concept, the TBS-453DX uses a thin, B5-sized case that can easily fit in to any working environment, and makes your work and meetings productive as you and your team members can easily access files on the TBS-453DX at the same time. Compared with a normal NAS, the TBS-453DX's usage of M.2 SSDs for storage allows it to be significantly smaller and quieter. The RAM and M.2 SSDs are also easily accessible for installation and upgrading by removing the rubber pads and screws on the bottom of the TBS-453DX. Besides laptop and mobile phone, the TBS-453DX NASbook is also the tech gadget that you should have one!

Mount cloud storage for an amazing hybrid-cloud experience

The compact TBS-453DX supports Cloud Gateway, allowing you to mount over 20 cloud storage services for convenient, seamless file storage, backup, and recovery. HybridMount is a file-level gateway that makes reaching online files extremely easy, while you can also leverage the multimedia and file management functions provided by QTS to those online files as they are located on the TBS-453DX. VJBOD Cloud is block-level gateway that mounts cloud space on the NAS as block storage for creating volumes or iSCSI LUNs. Transferring a large number of small files thus becomes more efficient, and it saves bandwidth as the system only transfers changed data.

Note: The Cloud Gateway service will be available from QTS 4.4.1.

Mount cloud storage and cache locally with performance benefits

Enable caching for HybridMount and VJBOD Cloud, so the files on the cloud can be locally cached in TBS-453DX’s HybridMount Cache Volume. This allows you to reach frequently-accessed files with the lowest latency and work with them as they were stored on the TBS-453DX. No matter if you are working from home or offsite, accessing large-size files, or multiple users access to cloud space concurrently, working with those online files is as fast as working within LAN.

Note: The Cloud Gateway service will be available from QTS 4.4.1.

Excellent performance with quad-core CPU and M.2 SSDs

The TBS-453DX is powered by a 14nm Intel® Celeron® J4105 quad-core 1.5 GHz processor that can automatically burst up to 2.5 GHz when performing CPU-intensive tasks. The dual-channel 4GB/8GB DDR4 2400 RAM and four M.2 SSDs for storage deliver high performance, while the 1 Gigabit LAN port and 10GBASE-T LAN port provide exceptional network connectivity. The TBS-453DX also features AES-NI encryption for full NAS volumes or shared folders to ensure data confidentiality without impacting performance.

Tested in QNAP Labs. Figures may vary by environment.

Enhanced productivity with multiple USB ports

Direct-attached Storage (DAS) devices such as USB hard drives are incredibly convenient in portability, but fall short in file sharing and functionality as they can only be connected to one server/PC at a time. By connecting a DAS to the TBS-453DX you can easily share its content with other users without having to unplug and move it around. The TBS-453DX also supports USB devices such as mobile phones, uninterruptible power supplies for greater all-round functionality.
