QNAP TS-453D-4G NAS TOWER QUAD CORE 2.0GHZ INTEL CELERON CPU 4X SATA6 HDD MAX 4GB DDR3 RAM

QNAP TS-453D is a 4-bay NAS that is designed to take advantage of faster speeds from 2.5GbE connections and extend those benefits to the devices connected to it. QNAP has made several changes recently to push the networking speeds form 1GbE to 2.5GbE connections through NAS switches and AICs. The TS-453D is yet another device that will help users past the networking bottleneck to faster connectivity speeds.

QNAP TS-453D comes with two on-board 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports. Users can take their existing CAT5e cables and upgrade network connections from 1GbE to 2.5GbE. If 2.5GbE isnt enough through port trunking users can bump that up to 5GbE. To help hit those speeds the NAS leverages an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor. On top of that the NAS can have up to 8GB of DDR4 memory for even faster performance. For storage the TS-453D has 4 3.5 SATA bays. The NAS has an SSD caching capability but to leverage it without giving up drive bays users would need to utilize a PCIe adapter card for M.2 drives in the single PCIe slot. However adding in SSDs can add several benefits such as flash volumes SSD cache acceleration and Qtier auto-tiering for overall better performance. If the four bays arent enough one can add more storage through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port to provide fast JBOD expansions.
