New 10Gbe NAS – The QNAP TBS-453DX

For a long time on NASCompares, we have praised QNAP for being the true innovators of the network attached storage NAS industry. Everything from New CPUs and 10Gbe Innovation, to Thunderbolt 3 and combining Media types, you name it QNAP were almost certainly the first ones to do it. Today I want to talk about a brand new QNAP that has just been unveiled by the guys over in Taiwan, that continues to push their reputation for innovation. The brand new TBS-453DX NAS, the follow up to the TBS-453A designed for workgroups, collaboration and teamwork, is the latest 10Gbe enabled NAS that is being released in Q4/1. I know that sounds like I am reading straight from a press release, but this new variation of the Silent NAS and NASBook series is definitely a device for getting people working faster, safer and easier.

Building on the incredible reception of the HS-453DX silent NAS being released very soon, QNAhasverevisited the NASBook compact, portable and easy to deploy NAS device and merged the two into a new powerhouse of productivity. Unlike most NAS devices drives for desktop, the core concept of the QNAP TBS-453DX is portability and fast easy deployment. Most QNAP NAS devices in tower chassis form are made to be set up in a single location and largely ignored in a physical sense. Most NAS’ are designed to live in a single location and access is made via the network or the internet with the users being portable. The QNAP TBS-453DX NAS book flips things around a bit and although it can be used the same as any other NAS in a central non-moving location, the lightweight, portable chassis (under 1KG) and fast access and express speed SSD media inside, mean that this device can be carried around as easy as a laptop and deploy on a desk between users in minutes. With this, it provides access via 10Gbe and 1Gbe, as well as many USB ports and HDMI 2.0a for perfect 4K output.

• Use a single interface to allocate storage space and networking resources. Easily manage and view sub systems when multiple Mustang-200 are installed in the NAS.
• Mount host storage space easily through iSCSI or VJBOD to ensure you don’t have to worry about running out of space when operating multiple applications.
• Equipped with dual CPUs, the Mustang-200's computing power equals two NAS. Developers can create various applications on the card without interfering with other applications.

This year has been a big year for network attached storage. Although NAS has already made its way into the home and business market, in 2018  we have seen some genuinely innovative pieces of hardware be developed that can result in a NAS featuring in almost every aspect of your personal and professional life. Of all the devices that have been announced this year, the one that left by far the best impact on me was the QNAP HS-453DX NAS. When I first stumbled across this particular NAS, QNAP were incredibly tight-lipped about it and what little information I could find out came from the fact it had won a design award – yes, you heard right, it won an award based on its physical design. That only made me more interested, as most NAS (though interesting) is typically rather ugly blighters! That was back in June and since then I have discovered more and more information about it and have decided to put it all together below in one giant information blowout! Trust me, when you get through it all, you will be as excited as I am.

The new HS-453DX features a new and improved chassis, based on the previous silent NAS HS-251+, it now arrives in white and rose gold, supports a combination of Hard Drive and Solid State drive, has a brand new CPU that it makes it’s NAS debut on this device and aside from all of that, also features a 10GBe port, HDMI 2.0a for 4K playback and a remote control. All of this with an incredible discreet design, both in terms of size and noise. It does not feature an operational fan inside and instead favours a large heatsink top panel (the rose gold lid) and this results in incredibly low operational noise. it doesn’t completely remove all noise (as Hard Drives generate their own minor hum noise), however, this is avoidable with the use of SSD or less mechanical HDD. Luckily the HS-453DX arrives with 2 Hard Drive bays and 2 SSD bays, so you can choose the best media for you, or use BOTH and take advantage of SSD caching and a system of tiered storage whereby files you are editing live on the NAS (likely through that 10GBe port) have important/regular accessed files moved over to the SSD to combine increased internal speeds and external speeds – AKA Remove the bottlenecks!

More than 25% of Synology enterprise users are currently using iSCSI services. To provide a more stable infrastructure, Synology has launched a new product line in the UC300 and it is the first iSCSI dedicated server with dual active controllers internally, with twin internal motherboards and each with its own PSU. The Active dual architecture allows enterprises users not to suffer disrupted service, in the event of a system critical event occurring (CPU failure, Memory burnout, PSU failure, motherboard damage, etc – basically the GAME OVER issues) the system has a whole second hardware system running in tandem and it automatically takes the primary lead

The result is that your RAID-enabled storage, that is already supported with a multitude of local/network/cloud backup options (as well as all the advantages of DiskStation Manager) is able to without a system-wide critical hit! That is the kind of hardware assurance that is almost unheard of in NAS.

All the while the UC300 RackStation is providing well over 100,000 IOPS of high performance before, during and after a critical event (with all targets and locations unchanged from the hundred/thousands of connected users POV)

The new DS1819+ Diskstation sits on the shoulders of the popular 8-bay network attached storage that came before it, released in 2 year cycles (DS1817+, DS1815+, DS1813+, etc) and with each generation, the external changed marginally, but the internal hardware grew more and more (always maintaining a near identical price point too, which is pretty impressive in technology). With network storage drives being increasingly popular and home/business users want a good sized capacity in their NAS drive, a solid 8 HDD/SSD RAID equipped desktop NAS drive, that provides smooth storage is always in high demand.

Although the hardware is equipped almost all Synology first-party and third-party applications, the DS1819+ is geared more towards users looking for fluid, reliable file access and general file management for hundreds of users.

Likewise, it features great memory upgrade options, 10GBe utilization at a later date via the installation of the E10G18-T1 and E10G18-T2, SSD performance upgrades with the M2D18 and NVME SSD media and already arrives with 4 RJ45 LAN to enable upto 425MB/s speeds via link aggregation. In short, if you need fast, reliable access to your files, folders and directories for hundreds of users at once, the DS1817+ is a great entry point for you.

There have already been some great advancements in the Synology Surveillance station application, with features such as LiveCam view with your mobile, YouTube camera streaming, improved time-lapse view and more. However, the Synology DS1419dva is designed to support AI these features, PLUS support new analytical and deep learning applications being introduced into Surveillance station 8.

These live and archival features (such as the system recognizing an object or person in searching, then actioning as needed) require a good chunk of rendering power and the DS1419dva arrives with an NVidia GeForce GPU component to assist in Deep Video Analysis (DVA). There is still not real confirmation whether the DS1419dva is a Surveillance ONLY device (such as the NVR1218) or if it is a DSM 7.0 enabled NAS like others (as I can see a lot of functionality for that GPU in non-surveillance applications).
