The TBS-453A is a portable NAS that not only provides full NAS functionality with RAID protection in an ultra-compact form factor, but can also act as a physical network switch to share network access with multiple users. With its compact and very quiet design, dual HDMI output, and 4K video playback, the TBS-453A NASbook can be easily transported and placed anywhere to boost productivity and connectivity.
The TBS-453A features a 1.6GHz quad-core 14nm Intel® Celeron® N3150 processor (which can automatically boost up to 2.08GHz) and 4GB/8GB of dual-channel DDR3L RAM. The TBS-453A has two Gigabit Ethernet ports and three Gigabit switching ports that support both network switch and private network modes. These modes allow users to easily create flexible network environments to enhance workgroup collaboration by enabling connected devices to access files stored on the TBS-453A or share the internet connection. It offers data throughput of up to 112 MB/s per LAN port while being highly energy efficient and supporting AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption to boost the AES 256 encrypted transfer rate to up to 109 MB/s per LAN port.
The TBS-453A comes with a compact AC adapter and supports a wide DC input range of 10V–20V to accommodate various power sources. RAM and SSDs are easily accessible for installation and upgrades. The TBS-453A's storage capacity can be expanded by connecting it to an 8-bay UX-800P or a 5-bay UX-500P expansion chassis.
The TBS-453A is also geared towards a wide range of multimedia applications. Users can connect it to a TV or A/V receiver to enjoy 4K multimedia content. With its two 3.5mm microphone jacks, one output port, a built-in speaker, and the OceanKTV app, the TBS-453A can also be transformed into an affordable karaoke machine or used with various audio applications.
The TBS-453A comes with several applications to meet professional needs and enhance productivity. By connecting a keyboard, mouse, and HDMI display, Linux Station allows the NAS to be used as a Linux® workstation to enhance open-source software development and enable users to run Linux applications. Qsirch allows users to quickly find data on the NAS 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 of volumes and LUNs on a single NAS. The TBS-453A also offers a hybrid approach to virtualization applications. Virtualization Station allows users to run multiple virtual machines based on Windows®, Linux, UNIX®, and Android™ on the NAS using an HDMI monitor and a USB keyboard/mouse (via QvPC Technology), while Container Station integrates two virtualization technologies: LXC and Docker®.
