I did see that too one too, it seems identical, other than fewer Ethernet sockets? I really don’t know what I want/need, I was just trying to get something that I thought would do the job well without issue whilst not breaking the bank. I went that route to replace a drobo as the backup location for my Plex server, due to it having the best power ratings of the mid-tier QNAPs.
The 453mini is basically identical to the Pro on the hardware side if that’s really what you want, just 2 nics instead of 4 and it doesn’t have the LCD. Also, I thought the transcoding ability was down to the CPU and isn’t the one in the TS-453 Pro rated higher? The above statement seems to contradict said: Is that correct? 4K HDMI output isnt of any use, but does future proof it more so. If you want pure file transfer performance, then TS-453 Pro has some edge due to higher CPU clock rate. If you want 4K HDMI output, transcoding, multimedia playback, and AES-NI HW encryption, then go for TS-453A. The qnap forum discussion is perhaps more useful, but does go on a for a long time about memory. I have looked through but I’m still not sure, it feels a bit like taking a guess as much as anything? Taken from that thread is a link giving a side-by-side comparison of the two processors: This is my second nas unit but my first Qnap unit and so far i would highly recommend this product.Here is a side-by-side view using QNAP’s own product comparison page:Īnd this discussion on the QNAP Presales forum (run by community members) might help: Nas contains qty2 wd red 4TB and qty 2 wd red 8TB drives all setup as static Volumes. My setup is local machines backs up to nas, nas backs up to local external hard drives (archives), nas backs up to cloud (important folders only). My personal recommendation is to avoid using RAID for home use. This data will be backed up to the cloud. I am using the nas as a network file storage for personal files and personal project data.
The software is very nice to use and has many extensible features. I found this product to be intuitive and well designed. Overall Review: As a background, i am an electrical engineer who designs electronics. i have also read that in the past some nas units have been effectively unusable after operating system updates due to new features not being old hardware friendly. most of the qnap consumer nas units end up having a 3 year life span.( im purchasing the extended warranty)
only supports 8GB of ram maximum ( you can install more but the processor cant actually truly access the additional memory) (may clicks and options to perform small actions) reasonably priced extended warranty through qnap. reasonable prices for SSL additions or extra software options. very helpful information on qnaps website as well as other online resources. small learning curve for someone familiar with computers Hosts multiple virtual machines and containers to execute different applications in one NAS device.Īdditional Information Date First Available HBS provides comprehensive backup and data recovery QuDedup deduplicates the data at the source to reduce storage space usage, bandwidth usage, and backup time.Ĭloud storage gateways realize hybrid cloud applications by working with the cache space reserved on NAS to ensure low-latency data access to the cloud.
