Delivers up to a data flow of up to 112 MB/sg for each Lan port while being very energy efficient, and supports AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption to boost the AES encrypted transfer speed of 256 up to the 109 MB/sg per LAN port.

"The use of M.2 SSDs is already quite widespread in ultrabooks and small form factor PCs.. With an extremely small size, are quiet and offer high performance, and their price is expected to become more affordable as they become more popular. The versatile TBS-453A is the world's first M.2 SSD NASbook.", comments Jason Hsu, QNAP Product Manager.

The TBS-453A is also aimed at a wide variety of multimedia applications. Can be connected to a TV or AV receiver to enjoy multimedia content in 4K. With its two microphone connectors of 3,5 Mm, one output port, a built-in speaker, and the OceanKTV app, can be with various audio applications.

This equipment is marketed with several applications to meet professional needs and improve productivity. By connecting a keyboard, a mouse and an HDMI display, The Linux Station allows the NAS to be used as a Linux workstation to power open source software development and to allow users to run Linux applications..

Qsirch functionality allows you to find NAS data with its full-text search engine in near real time; and the QTS Storage Manager provides a web-based snapshot tool for efficient data recovery, which allows up to 1.024 snapshots of volumes and LUNs on a NAS.

The TBS-453A offers, In addition, a hybrid approach to virtualization applications. Virtualization Station allows users to run multiple Windows-based virtual machines, Linux, Unix and Android on the NAS with an HDMI monitor and USB keyboard/mouse (through QvPC technology), and the Container Station that integrates two virtualization technologies LXC and Docker.
