What customers say about "Key Specs"

QNAP TS-453Be 8TB Desktop NAS Solution

All 4 drives compatible based on compatibility checker from QNAP. Good slots.
You can literally monitor everything, temps, fan speed, drive performance, cpu/ram usage. Great 4 slots.
I even moved the 8GB of memory from the five-year-old NAS to this one without issue.
Great storage for me, a lot of good slots.
The plastic drive holders are easy to use but feel cheap and flimsy.

QNAP TS-453B Network Attached Storage with PCIe Port

Fitting the drives is easy, 4 screws (screws supplied for 3.5" and 2.5" drives) into the supplied cage and slot them in.
Inside is everything you need, including screws for 2.5" drives. Good storage.
Installation of hard drives is very easy. Great capacity of this one.
The unit accepts any drive. I like that.
Great product with great capacity. Would recommend.

What customers say about "Features"

QNAP TS-453Be 8TB Desktop NAS Solution

It handles all with very low CPU & RAM utilization.
Packed with lots of options — RAID configurations, 2 Nics capable of trunking, apps to make it a cloud, a VPN server.
Currently I’m running a set of disks of mixed brands in a RAID 5 configuration and the performance is still quite good internally.
Has RAID5 with storage pools and thin provisioning, RAID scrubbing/maint scheduler.
Ram usage was at 80% and CPU usage was at 50/60% constantly with only one hhd installed.

QNAP TS-453B Network Attached Storage with PCIe Port

Easy to setup, great features for the price.
It’s very good for Full HD films , music and pictures! Good features of this one.
I recommend it, good storage with nice features.
Support virtual machines, would recommend.
The lack of great for me features compared to other brands.

What customers say about "Interfaces"

QNAP TS-453Be 8TB Desktop NAS Solution

Using this at home since it supports 4K HDMI and Plex hardware accelerated streaming.
Most of the softwares are user friendly. Good conectivity.
Great connect. Good storage. Good memory. Fast speed.
Trying to access USB attached external storage will crash your files system and make your external drive unusable.
HDMI support was mediocre, largest problem I had was it partitioned a 128GB disk for use in the storage pool.

QNAP TS-453B Network Attached Storage with PCIe Port

The LAN port is great and using a good quality lan cable gives you light fast speeds.
Transfer rates are very decent. I've uploaded to the NAS without issues when connected via LAN or Wi-Fi.
The unit itself is quiet enough and transfer speeds seem ok.
I was getting about 80MB/sec copying data to the NAS. Clearly not as good as the near wire line speeds on my current QNAP.
The transfer speeds that I was seeing, have dropped steadily as more data has been copied onto the NAS.
