![]() Not too sure I'd want to set an IP address this way, but it is handy to do a reboot or shutdown. On the front you will find a small OLED display which not only gives a system status, but will also show a seven category menu when the two capacitive buttons on the door are pressed. This really helps with caching and helps boost NLE speed and if the unit was to stay, I’d install the SSD cache. This unit did not have the M2 cache fitted. ![]() However with 10TB drives now retailing for £250 on Amazon, having a 10GigE connected 30TB shared storage system for just over £2000 is pretty amazing.įor price against storage size, I'd go for 8TB disks as these can be found on Amazon for the discounted price of $245 each. I’d previously set up the disks as RAID 5, which means you will lose one of disk’s capacities. A quick Google and it all seemed possible, but I did need to get the order of drives the same from machine to machine. I wasn’t using new drives this time though, I thought I would experiment by transferring the four Seagate IronWolf drives from the other NAS over to the TS-453BT3 and try to keep all the data. Loading up the drives only took about 5 minutes, it will take you longer to get them out of the original packing! Here you can see the new empty carrier next to the old carrier from the TVS-682T. Two strips detach either side then reattach to hold the drive firmly in place. The plastic drive carriers are slightly flimsy but work well. The unit arrived without disks, although there are options available from retailers including Amazon that will supply the unit populated. We are using the QNAP with media for editing, so don’t really have a need to stream HD to a TV. The unit comes with the PSU and mains cable, cat5 cable and remote control. Don’t know why, but I always feel better plugging the IEC cable into the actual machine rather than a separate PSU. One of the reasons for its small size is the external PSU which is quite a chunky brick. We don’t think you could make a 4 bay NAS any smaller. The first thing that strikes you is the size and light weight of the QNAP. It retails for about £1,075 including VAT. The unit contains an Intel® Celeron® J3455 quad-core 1.5 GHz processor with 8GB installed. I have been using a QNAP TS-453BT3 for a few months as it is squarely aimed at video editing users. These units also offer shared storage, the ability to have more than one user connected and working with the same media at a time. Network attached NAS multi-disk boxes offer large storage options with RAID5 safety. ![]() We are creating more and more footage and thus more and more gigabytes of files daily, so the need arises to store this media on more than just a simple one disk Thunderbolt drive. This time we look at the TS-453BT3 4 disk unit from QNAP with 10GigE and Thunderbolt 3. We have reviewed a QNAP desktop shared storage NAS before on FCP.co. ![]()
