  • It's a versatile NAS that packs more features than the competition.
  • It's expensive at $529 (4 GB) and $689 (8 GB).
  • 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...

  • 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:  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...
