Direct access to files with the USB (Universal Serial Bus) Quick Access port The TS-251A features an innovative USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Quick Access port that means that you can complete the first-time installation & setup of your TS-251A without requiring network connectivity. The files & data stored on the TS-251A can also be directly accessed by using Qfinder Pro* & a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 A-Male to Micro B-Male cable or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 Micro B cable**. Furthermore, you can assign access rights to users for different folders to prevent unauthorized access to important files. * Qfinder Pro & USB (Universal Serial Bus) Quick Access support Windows 8.0 (and above) & Mac OS X 10.7 (and above). Other versions may require driver installation. **A USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable is not included. USB (Universal Serial Bus) Quick Access/NAS/i SCSI SAN triple solution The TS-251A innovatively re-defines what NAS can do by providing a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Quick Access/NAS/i SCSI SAN triple solution. It discards the restriction of conventional DAS that only allows connecting to one device, & breaks the cost barrier for a high-speed Ethernet solution. The TS-251A’s three data transmission modes not only work independently, but they also can simultaneously run with no bandwidth interference, allowing you to multi-task with utmost productivity. USB (Universal Serial Bus) Quick Access Mode You can instantly access files & data stored on the TS-251A by connecting a PC/ Mac to its USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Quick Access port & by using the Qfinder Pro application. To balance security & convenience needs, this method provides three access authentication modes. These settings can be easily configured in Network & Virtual Switch in the QTS management interface: “ All NAS Users” (default): A NAS username & password are required to use Quick Access to access data stored on the NAS. “ Everyone”: Allows everyone to access data stored on the NAS using Quick Access with no username or password required. “ Selected Users & Groups”: Only authorized users/groups can use Quick Access to access data stored on the NAS (a username or password is also required). The TS-251A’s USB (Universal Serial Bus) mode is helpful for users that handle large volumes of media files on a daily basis. It provides an extremely convenient & fast solution for users to store & backup data on their computers or to access data on their NAS. With the USB (Universal Serial Bus) mode the TS-251A is plug & use without compromising convenience or safety. Ethernet NAS mode The TS-251A features Ethernet networking for flexible & simultaneous file sharing across multiple devices, using SMB/CIFS, NFS & AFP protocols for sharing across Windows, Mac & Linux/UNIX networks. Use Qfinder Pro to find the TS-251 As Ethernet IP address to connect to it. i SCSI SAN block-based mode The TS-251A supports i SCSI SAN. After creating an i SCSI target on the TS-251A, you can access the i SCSI with your computer* using the NAS IP. *i SCSI initiator for Mac: ATTO Xtend SAN or SNS global SAN; for Windows: Microsoft i SCSI initiator Superior 4K video transcoding Featuring advanced 8th-generation Intel HD Graphics, the TS-251A supports 4K H.264 hardware decoding & delivers superior real-time 4K & 1080p video transcoding to convert videos to universal formats that can be smoothly played on PCs, mobile devices & Smart TVs*. With offline transcoding, even when you can only connect using a low-speed Internet connection, you can still enjoy smooth video playback via File Station, Video Station, & the Qfile mobile app by selecting a pre-rendered lower resolution video. The TS-251A also means that you can set a dedicated folder for automatic video transcoding. * Supported video formats depend on the hardware & software specifications of the devices. Playback capability & quality may vary due to factors including the original file formats/quality, hardware & software limitations, & output devices.
