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. CacheMount 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 CacheMount and VJBOD Cloud, so the files on the cloud can be locally cached in TBS-453DX's CacheMount 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.

Test Environment:
• NAS: TBS-453DX-4G with QTS 4.4.0
• Volume type: RAID 0; 2 x Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSDs
• Client PC: Intel Core i7-4770 3.40GHz CPU; 16GB RAM; QNAP LAN-10G2T-X550 10GbE NIC; Windows 10 64-bit; IOmeter 1.1.0, 20 workers, 1 outstanding, SMB throughput, 64KB

Potentially attain performance and endurance levels similar to enterprise-grade SSDs
The TBS-453DX supports software-defined SSD extra over-provisioning (OP) that enables you to allocate additional OP space (from 1% to 60%) to optimize random write speeds and to extend SSD lifespan. Now, you can enjoy faster file backups, smoother multimedia experiences, and optimized virtualization applications with better performance.

10GbE performance based on Aquantia Multi-Gig IC
The TBS-453DX supports 10GbE NBASE-T RJ-45 Multi- Gigabit (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) connectivity, allowing you to take advantage of higher network speeds with your existing Cat 5e and 6a cables. Coupled with QNAP's various budget-friendly 10GbE solutions, creating a seamless high-speed network environment for improved teamwork and smooth multimedia applications has never been easier!

With a Thunderbolt 3 computer
The QNA series is a Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE adapter that empowers your Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac or Windows computers with 10GbE network connectivity.

With a Windows computer
QNAP's QM2 and QXG-10G1T PCIe expansion cards feature a 10GBASE-T Multi-Gigabit (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) network port to add 10GbE connectivity to PCs/workstations.

Simultaneous real-time access from multiple workstations
The 12-port 10GbE 10GbE/NBASE-T unmanaged switch allows faster speeds using existing cables, and enables simultaneous real-time access to large NAS-based files using multiple workstations.


Ultimate multimedia experience with 4K HDMI, real-time transcoding and streaming
Featuring Intel UHD Graphics 600, the TBS-453DX allows you to convert 4K videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices. You can also enjoy 4K 60fps content on your TV with the TBS-453DX's HDMI 2.0 output, and use with Plex Media Server to stream media files to mobiles devices and media streaming devices (including DLNA, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Google Chromecast). The QNAP RM-IR004 remote control (purchased separately) can be configured using QButton to customize the actions of individual buttons, providing a more convenient NAS experience.

Note: The TBS-453DX's hardware provides H.264 hardware decoding, encoding and transcoding capabilities. However, playback quality may vary due to factors including playback software, file formats, system usage, and available bandwidth.

Enjoy the Roon experience without a PC
Roon, the music player for music lovers, identifies all the music stored on the NAS and consolidates them in Roon's interconnected digital library. You can browse and play music with Roon apps on any compatible device for multi-zone multimedia experiences. The TBS-453DX supports the Roon Server app in the QTS App Center and provides the performance and storage potential to optimize music streaming, providing the perfect choice for the optimum music experience!

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, and printers for greater all-round functionality.


Always remember to back up your data
The TBS-453DX provides a flexible backup & disaster recovery solution, and supports snapshots that record the state of the system and data at any time. You can easily restore data back to any point of time with the snapshots or backup files whenever needed.

Windows and Mac backup
Use the license-free QNAP NetBak Replicator utility to back up/restore files from Windows computers. Time Machine is fully supported for backing up Mac computers.

Hybrid Backup Sync
Consolidates backup, restoration and synchronization functions (using RTRR, rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB) for easily transferring data to local, remote and cloud storage spaces as a comprehensive data storage and disaster recovery plan.

Snapshot protection
Snapshots are essential for NAS data protection, and their block-level feature makes them a dependable method for protecting data in the face of the growing threat of ransomware. The TBS-453DX supports up to 256 snapshots per volume/LUN, and up to 1,024 snapshots per NAS.


Tips for a more productive work day
The TBS-453DX provides the smartest NAS solution for professionally managing files by integrating rich apps for storing, synchronizing, searching, and archiving files. You can easily access files on various devices (including USB storage and mobile phones), instantly synchronize files with friends' and/or colleagues' devices, quickly find specific files, and automatically organize your documents and media files. The TBS-453DX helps save your time for a more productive and efficient life.
