The new-gen Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) trend has driven higher bandwidth demands for wired & wireless network connections. By integrating Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor & 2.5 Gb E connectivity, the TS-453D not only provides modern businesses an excellent NAS solution to upgrade to 2.5 Gb E environments for productive daily backup/restore tasks, but also provides gamers with ample storage for their vast game collections. Up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds can be made by setting port trunking with the two built-in 2.5 Gb E ports. The TS-453D also supports PCIe expansion, multi-cloud backup, cloud storage gateways, 4K HDMI output & real-time transcoding, alongside expandable storage capacity & feature-rich apps to perform as a cost-efficient, reliable 2.5 Gb E NAS. The TS-453D comes with two 2.5 Gb E RJ45 LAN ports that allow you to use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit. The dual 2.5 Gb E ports also support Port Trunking for up to 5 Gbps! By using QNAP’s N-BASET/ Multi-Gig USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 1 to 5 Gb E adapter (Model name QNA-UC5G1T) or 5 Gb E PCIe expansion card (Model name QXG-5G1T-111C), your laptop or desktop computer can easily connect to 2.5 Gb E networks with the TS-453D to benefit from higher network speeds. Upgrading your network shouldn’t break the bank, & 2.5 Gb E connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1 Gb E. The QSW-1105-5T is an unmanaged switch with five 2.5 Gb E ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M) & supports CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers & NAS. The QSW-1105-5T is energy-saving, low-noise, plug-&-use, & supports loop detection & blocking to provide a simple & effective high-speed network environment. The TS-453D is powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor (bursts up to 2.7 GHz), features up to 8 GB DDR4 memory, & supports SATA 6 Gb/s drives. The support of Intel AES-NI encryption engine boosts encryption performance while also maintaining the security of your NAS data. You can flexibly install SSDs for cache acceleration to maximize network & storage performance for data-intensive applications. With a single 2.5 Gb E connection, no complex link aggregation settings are required for speeds up to 312.5MB/s – easily beating a paired 1 Gb E connection. The TS-453D has two 2.5 Gb E ports, further doubling performance & increasing efficiency for versatile tasks. Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS) consolidates backup & synchronization functions for easily transferring data from the TS-453D to local, remote & cloud storage spaces. HBS also supports Qu Dedup technology which removes duplicated data at the source, further accelerating backup & restoration tasks over 2.5 Gb E connections.
