...making it a sleek and versatile all-rounder for users with high-capacity requirements.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 it a sleek and versatile all-rounder for users with high-capacity requirements.
An intuitive and feature-packed QTS operating system remains a major draw, however the space-saving form factor, combined with upgraded components, results in a £460 price tag that is likely to be beyond the reach of the home user.
Bottom line: the TS-453Bmini is a rewarding NAS with plenty of tricks up its sleeves, but it's a tough sell at the current price.
