Conclusion
Qnap's TS-453 Pro is a box of tricks that's fast, well built, easy to use and genuinely helpful in more ways than one.Today's NAS solutions are much more than just a centralised data store. Capable of handling everything from simple backups to comprehensive office management, the TS-453 Pro is a NAS that's equally adept as a basic file server or as a tool for aggregating IT infrastructure.
Justifying the initial fee remains an obvious hurdle for powerful NAS solutions, but Qnap is beginning to erode such concerns with an evolving list of capabilities that now includes an array of virtualisation features and, via QvPC, the ability to use the NAS as a PC.
Bottom line: building on an already-extensive feature set, Qnap's TS-453 Pro is a box of tricks that's fast, well built, easy to use and genuinely helpful in more ways than one.
