Qnap has refreshed its four-bay vertical NAS with an upgraded Intel Celeron J3455 processor and 4GB of accompanying memory.The new model, dubbed the TS-453Bmini, is armed with the hardware clout for AES-NI encryption and 4K video transcoding, making i...

The TS-453mini is a model you can use anywhere. That isn't a reference to its size, it's a reference to all of the powerful features. It's also a small unit that can literally fit just about anywhere. The Intel Celeron J1900 processor is powerful for an...
The Qnap TS-453mini is a superb 4-bay well equipped NAS, albeit a pretty expensive one; especially the 8GB RAM version. Indeed, you have to wonder how 8GB of DDR3 memory could ever cost over a hundred quid – the difference between the two versions, for bo...
Qnap's OS has evolved hugely over the last few versions and while the base experience was always solid, the latest OS is fantastic. Responsive, easy to maintain, simple to set up and all running on impressive NAS hardware. We particularly love the virtua...

It may not be immediately apparent that the QNAP TS-453mini is a NAS that accommodates up to four 3.5-inch hard drives. Its tiny footprint (200mmx151mm) requires the bare minimum of shelf space, however that isn't the natural environment for this particul...
Abstract: Most NAS systems are built around the same basic design, but not all of them. Once in a while a device comes along that is something just a little bit special and today I'm taking a closer look at just one of them.I got the new and innovative QNAP TS-453...
The TS-453mini is a brilliant four-bay NAS; it's compact and barely makes a sound, yet is powerful and has one of the most comprehensive NAS operating systems we've seen. It might not be as user-friendly as Synology's DSM OS, but the integrated media play...

Abstract: This is possibly the best NAS we have reviewed ever, with a great UI/software, nice looks and great options!This overly glossy ‘upright' style NAS is pretty good looking, even if it is a fingerprint magnet! On the front, starting at the top, you'll find t...
