TS-453BT3
4-bay Thunderbolt™ 3 NAS
Note: Thunderbolt ™ 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapters may have compatibility issues with some Windows PCs. Users should confirm compatibility before purchasing
adapters. It is highly recommended to use a Thunderbolt ™ 3 certified cable (purchased separately) and to configure a RAID 5 with high-efficiency SSD for optimal file
transfer and storage performance.
The TS-453BT3 is powered by an Intel
®
Celeron
®
J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz processor (up to 2.3 GHz) and up to 8GB of
DDR3L dual-channel memory for superior processing performance. With a single 10GbE 10GBASE-T and dual Gigabit
ports, the TS-453BT3 is capable of achieving up to 683MB/s read and 516MB/s write performance. With AES-NI 256-bit
NAS encryption enabled, the TS-453BT3 is capable of providing up to 690 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write performance -
ensuring that confidentiality does not sacrifice performance. The TS-453BT3's Thunderbolt ™ 3 ports provide up to 514
MB/s read and 356 MB/s write performance for high-speed access to files. The Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C interface also
allows large files (such as photos and videos) to be quickly transferred between devices to provide quicker workflows for
multimedia projects.
Mac and Windows multimedia collaboration workstations
The TS-453BT3 is the perfect fit for Thunderbolt ™ 3 Mac users (and is compatible with Thunderbolt 2 Mac devices by
using adapters). With immense transfer speeds, Thunderbolt ™ 3 enables smoother video editing and faster sharing, and
is especially suitable for multimedia professionals working with 4K and 3D content. The TS-453BT3 can connect to two
Thunderbolt ™ 3 devices to handle real-time media editing simultaneously without affecting NAS performance. As Final
Cut Pro
®
X 10.3 supports SMB protocol file sharing, Windows
®
users and other devices connected via Thunderbolt ™ 3 or
network ports can join the audio-visual editing workflow.
Tested in QNAP Labs. Performance may vary depending
on usage environment.
