The new-gen Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) trend has driven higher bandwidth demands for wired and wireless network connections. By integrating Intel® Celeron® J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor and 2.5GbE connectivity, the TS-453D not only provides modern businesses an excellent NAS solution to upgrade to 2.5GbE environments for productive daily backup/restore tasks, but also provides gamers with ample storage for their vast game collections. <br><br>Upgrade your NAS to 2.5GbE networks<br>The TS-453D comes with two 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports that allow you to use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit. The dual 2.5GbE ports also support Port Trunking for up to 5 Gbps! By using QNAP’s N-BASET/Multi-Gig USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE adapter (Model name QNA-UC5G1T) or 5GbE PCIe expansion card (Model name QXG-5G1T-111C), your laptop or desktop computer can easily connect to 2.5GbE networks with the TS-453D to benefit from higher network speeds.<br><br>Transform your network with a wallet-friendly 2.5GbE switch<br>Upgrading your network shouldn’t break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1GbE. The QSW-1105-5T is an unmanaged switch with five 2.5GbE ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M) and supports CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS. The QSW-1105-5T is energy-saving, low-noise, plug-and-use, and supports loop detection and blocking to provide a simple and effective high-speed network environment.<br><br>Quad-core 2.0 GHz (burst up to 2.7 GHz) with up to 8 GB memory<br>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, and 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 and storage performance for data-intensive applications.<br><br>One 2.5GbE is better than two 1GbE for increasing HBS backup efficiency<br>With a single 2.5GbE connection, no complex link aggregation settings are required for speeds up to 312.5MB/s – easily beating a paired 1GbE connection. The TS-453D has two 2.5GbE ports, further doubling performance and increasing efficiency for versatile tasks.<br><br>Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS) consolidates backup and synchronization functions for easily transferring data from the TS-453D to local, remote and cloud storage spaces. HBS also supports QuDedup technology which removes duplicated data at the source, further accelerating backup and restoration tasks over 2.5GbE connections.<br><br>SSD caching and auto-tiering enable 24/7 optimized storage efficiency<br>While SSD prices continue to fall, and SSD capacity and performance continue to increase, organizations can easily take advantage of SSD strengths. The TS-453D supports numerous SSD-aware features that significantly maximize NAS performance with high cost-effectiveness.<br><br>Ultimate visual experience with 4K HDMI display and real-time video transcoding<br>The TS-453D has an HDMI 2.0 port that supports 4K (4096 x 2160) 60Hz output, allowing you to directly view multimedia content saved on the NAS on a bigger screen. The support of high-quality 4K video transcoding enables the NAS to convert videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices. The TS-453D also can stream videos through DLNA®, Chromecast™, and more to satisfy versatile multimedia application needs. The QNAP RM-IR004 remote control (sold separately) can be configured using QButton to customize individual button actions, providing a more user-friendly NAS experience.<br><br><
