QNAP HS-453DX Fanless 10Gb/s Multimedia NAS Enclosure (8GB)QNAP HS-453DX Fanless 10Gb/s Multimedia NAS Enclosure (8GB)

Featuring Intel UHD Graphics 600, the HS-453DX supports dual-channel 4K H.264 hardware decoding and real-time transcoding, allowing you to convert videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices. You can also watch 4K 60-fps media files on a HDTV using the HDMI 2.0 output or use with Plex Media Server to stream media files to mobiles devices and media streaming devices (including DLNA, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Google Chromecast). The QNAP RM-IR004 remote control can be configured using QButton to customize the actions of individual buttons, providing a more convenient NAS experience.

Roon identifies all the music stored on the NAS and consolidates them in its interconnected digital library. You can browse and play music with Roon apps on any compatible device for multi-zone multimedia experiences. The HS-453DX supports the Roon Server app in the QTS App Center and provides the performance, storage potential, and SSD caching to optimize music streaming.

The HS-453DX features a modern set-top design and appearance to fit alongside your existing home theater devices. The HS-453DX provides a wealth of connectivity to ensure all your different needs, including USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Type-C and Type-A port and USB 2.0 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0/1.4 dual output, 3.5mm line out, and more. The HS-453DX also provides an accessible hard drive layout, making it easy to add and remove 3.5-inch hard drives.

The HS-453DX is powered by an Intel Celeron J4105 quad-core 1.5 GHz processor (burst up to 2.5 GHz), with 8GB DDR4 memory (a total of up to 8GB dual-channel memory is supported), and supports SATA 6 Gb/s drives as well as AES-NI encryption. The HS-453DX also provides dual M.2 2280 SATA SSD slots to configure SSD caching to further improve performance. 10GbE connectivity is also provided with a built-in 10GBASE-T five-speed port (supports 10 Gb/s, 5 Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s, 1 Gb/s, and 100 Mb/s) that allows you to use existing Cat 5e, 6 or 6a cables.

The HS-453DX features a hybrid HDD/SSD structure. You can flexibly allocate applications to SSDs, set up a SSD cache, or use Qtier technology to automatically move frequently accessed files to SSD. With support for software-defined SSD RAID extra over-provisioning (OP), the HS-453DX enables you to allocate additional OP space (1-60%) to optimize SSD random write speeds and to extend SSD lifespan.

QNAP Notification Center consolidates all of the QTS system logs, events, and alerts, providing you with a single-app solution for notifications. The Security Counselor also scans the HS-453DX for potential weaknesses and provides recommendations to improve security. It also integrates anti-virus and anti-malware solutions to assist you in protecting your NAS.

Use the free QNAP NetBak Replicator utility to backup/restore files from Windows computers. Time Machine is also supported for Mac users.

Consolidates backup, restoration and synchronization functions (using RTRR, rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB) for easily transferring data to local, remote and cloud storage spaces as a comprehensive data storage and disaster recovery plan.

Block-based snapshots are a dependable method for protecting data in the face of the growing threat of ransomware. The HS-453DX supports up to 1,024 snapshots per NAS and up to 256 snapshots per volume or LUN.

The HS-453DX centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX devices. Coupled with Qsync (a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a safe, high-capacity data center for file synchronization), most file uploaded to the HS-453DX will be made available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops and mobile devices.

Use VJBOD to expand your storage capacity by using the unused storage of another QNAP NAS.
