QNAP Launches 4-bay TBS-453A M.2 SSD NASbook: the World's First M.2 SSD NAS With Built-in Hardware-based Network Switch
TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
QNAP(R) Systems, Inc. released the world's first M.2 SSD-based NAS - the TBS-453A
NASbook. Featuring a quad-core Intel(R) processor and using M.2 SSDs for storage, the
TBS-453A not only provides full NAS functionalities with RAID protection in an
ultra-compact size, but can also act as a physical network switch and share network access
with multiple users. With its compact, near-silent design, dual HDMI output and 4K display,
the TBS-453A NASbook can fit in anywhere to boost the productivity and connectivity of
small offices.
"M.2 SSDs are now used in thin-and-light laptops and small-form-factor PCs. Remarkably
small in size, they deliver high performance with zero noise and are expected to become
more affordable as they become more popular," said Jason Hsu, Product Manager of QNAP,
adding "In light of M.2 SSD's benefits, we are proud to present the industry-first
TBS-453A M.2 SSD NASbook to provide users with a portable yet versatile NAS."
The TBS-453A is powered by a 14nm Intel(R) Celeron(R) N3150 quad-core 1.6GHz processor
(that can automatically burst up to 2.08GHz for CPU-intensive tasks) and dual-channel
4GB/8GB DDR3L RAM. The TBS-453A features 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 3 Gigabit switch
ports that supports network switch and private network modes. These modes allow users to
easily build flexible network environments to enhance workgroup collaboration by allowing
connected devices to access files stored on the TBS-453A or to share internet
connectivity. It delivers up to 112MB/s throughput per LAN port while being incredibly
energy efficient and supports AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption to drive AES 256-bit
encrypted transfer speeds of up to 109MB/s throughput per LAN port.
The TBS-453A is supplied with a compact AC adapter and supports a wide range 10V~20V
DC input to meet various power sources. The RAM and SSDs are easily accessible for
installation and upgrading. The TBS-453A's storage is expandable by connecting an 8-bay
UX-800P or 5-bay UX-500P expansion enclosure.
The TBS-453A is also geared for rich multimedia applications. Users can connect it to
a TV or A/V receiver to enjoy 4K multimedia content. With its two 3.5 mm microphone jacks,
a Line out port, a built-in speaker, and the OceanKTV app, the TBS-453A can also be
transformed into an affordable karaoke machine or for use with diverse audio applications.
Â
The TBS-453A comes with various applications to meet business needs and to improve
productivity. By connecting a keyboard, mouse and HDMI display, Linux Station allows the
NAS to be used as a Linux(R) workstation to empower open-source software development and
to allow users to run Linux apps. Qsirch lets users find NAS data amazingly quickly with
its powerful near real-time full-text search engine. QTS Storage Manager provides a
web-based snapshot tool for efficient data recovery, allowing up to 1,024 snapshots for
volumes and LUNs in a NAS. The TBS-453A further offers a hybrid approach to virtualisation
applications. Virtualisation Station allows users to run multiple Windows(R), Linux, UNIX
(R) and Android(TM) based virtual machines on the NAS with a HDMI monitor and USB
keyboard/mouse support (via QvPC Technology), and Container Station integrates both LXC
and Docker(R) virtualisation technologies.
