Review Summary

Clearly this NAS takes some time to learn for both configuring and setting up BUT it also appears to be much more flexible and robust then perhaps some other ones. Still leaning about some of the neat included apps such as firewalls, security profiles / monitoring, and integration apps to both Google and iPhones in order to have control of your own data storage. Might add updates later.

I am loving my QNAP NAS. Easy to set up and when i hit a networking issue, the support person was awesome in helping me resolve. Still figuring out all the bells and whistles, but so far it is fast, my Plex is rockin and i feel it will grow with my future needs.

Only had it a week but very happy with the price. It did take awhile to get because of it being backordered, But waited because of price and no tax to California. Unit working fine so far. Retired an old HP N40L Microserver, taking the 4 drives out and putting them into the QNAP and setting up another RAID 5. I'm totally new to QNAPs GUI's, and like any new system, especially networking, can take a bit of learning. But so far all is good and they give you a lot of Apps, including Security Camera surveillance that you can hook up IP cameras and store the footage on the QNAP.

Excellent NAS. Make sure to get WD Reds as they last longer.

I use this unit both as a Plex server and as a way to run a couple things I want in my home network using Container Station. It does the job beautifully, especially after upgrading the ram which was real easy to do. I used to have a slower QNAP box (TS-451) and this one is just blazing in comparison, fast enough to do anything I need without having to wait around. I should have upgraded sooner.

So far it has been great. Takes a while to truly setup and configure but can use defaults and be done fairly quickly. Online forums are great as at this point thousands of others have already asked the questions and a large community has answered them. Friend has been running Qnap ts devices for over 10 years and swears by them.

I decided to buy this just as a backup storage device. I have been working on setting it up for the past few days and I keep identifying new features which make it easier for us to make day to day digital access easier. The app UI (on the phone) should improve. The help should be more crisp - too many pages spread across.

TS-453Be - Quad-core multimedia NAS with PCIe slot for diverse application expansion and greater efficiency.
The TS-453Be features a simple physical design that can easily fit into office and home environments. It provides a PCIe port that can boost its functionality: a QNAP QM2 expansion card can be installed to add M.2 SSD caching/10GbE connectivity and support for Qtier auto-tiering technology, or a compatible wireless card can be installed to use the TS-453Be as a wireless access point. The TS-453Be also supports dual-channel 4K H.264/H.265 processing to provide a smooth media viewing experience on all connected devices. In addition, a wide range of productivity tools are available for use on the TS-453Be to improve work efficiency for media creators or creative professionals, while also enriching their multimedia experience.
Extend NAS functionalities with the PCIe slot
With PCIe expansion, the TS-453Be 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-453Be as a wireless access point by installing a compatible wireless network card (ex. QNAP QWA-AC2600), or boost the USB connectivity of the TS-453Be by installing a USB 3.1 10Gbps card.
Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz CPU with AES-NI Encryption
Powered by an Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz processor (burst up to 2.3 GHz), 2GB/4GB DDR3L RAM (up to 8GB), dual Gigabit LAN ports, and supporting SATA 6Gb/s hard drives, the TS-453Be provides dependable performance of up to 225 MB/s read/write speeds. The TS-453Be 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 while ensuring the security of sensitive data stored in the TS-453Be.
Protect data with snapshots
Snapshots help protect your data by fully recording the NAS system state and metadata. If a file is accidentally deleted or modified, you can use snapshots to quickly restore the file to its previously-recorded state. QNAP snapshots are block-based and only record the changed data. Not only does this save storage space but also reduces the time required to back up and restore data. The TS-453Be supports up to 1,024 snapshots per NAS and up to 256 snapshots per volume or LUN.
Upgrade your IT environment with QNAP's fast and affordable 10GbE Switch!
QNAP 10GbE/NBASE-T unmanaged switches allow you to instantly upgrade your network environment at a cost-effective price. With a 10GbE network you can enjoy blazing-fast transfer speeds, empower bandwidth-demanding tasks like virtualization, and enable simultaneous real-time access to large NAS-based files using multiple workstations (ideal for video editing and multimedia). QNAP also provide a 10GbE PCIe network expansion card for the TS-453Be and Windows/Linux PCs to take advantage of high-speed LAN environments.
Real-time video transcoding
Featuring advanced 9th-generation Intel HD Graphics, the TS-453Be supports dual-channel 4K H.264/H.265 hardware decoding and real-time transcoding, allowing you to convert videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices. Therefore, you can easily share movies and videos stored on your NAS with family and friends for their enjoyment on a range of devices. The QNAP RM-IR004 remote control (sold separately) can be configured using QButton to customize the actions of individual buttons, providing a more convenient NAS experience.
Multiple ways to enjoy videos

Multi-point backup and access
With integrated data backup, restoration and synchronization, Hybrid Backup Sync helps you easily backup or synchronize data on the TS-453Be to other QNAP NAS, USB storage (one touch copy) or cloud storage. With Qsync, you can also access your NAS files from PCs, laptops or mobile devices connected with the TS-453Be at any time.
NAS as a Multi-OS Platform
Virtualization Station and Container Station provide comprehensive solutions for creating virtualized environments to improve business IT infrastructure, workflows, and productivity.
Virtualization Station
Virtualization Station allows you to run multiple Windows, Linux, UNIX and Android virtual machines on the TS-453Be. You can use Virtual Network Computing (VNC) through a browser to manage the VMs. Virtualization Station is ideal for organizations to run multiple applications on a single NAS.
Container Station
Container Station integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. You can download apps from the built-in Docker Hub to easily import/export container apps and manage access control, enjoying the benefit of easy installation, transferability and high-efficiency.

Whole new QVR Pro surveillance solution
QNAP's new QVR Pro surveillance solution allows you to arrange a dedicated, independent storage space for surveillance data on TS-453Be and leverage the advantages of scalability and storage manageability from QTS. With QVR Pro, camera management, storage space allocation, camera live view and playback become more easily. You can also use QVR Pro Client's mobile app to monitor anytime, or use a USB webcam as an ONVIF network camera with the QUSBCam2 app.
