You can also connect USB Type-C devices through the Thunderbolt 3 ports to transfer large media files across devices, brining you a more efficient workflows.

Collaboration Station for Mac and Windows
TS-453BT3 is the perfect match for users with Thunderbolt 3 Mac and can also be used with Thunderbolt 2 Mac by using a suitable adapter. The increased bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3 enables smooth video editing and faster file sharing for photographers, video editors and graphic designers. Up to 2 Thunderbolt devices can be connected to the TS-453BT3 to process real-time photo and audio editing simultaneously without impacting system performance. As Final Cut Pro® X 10.3 supports file sharing via SMB, Windows users and other devices utilizing Thunderbolt™ 3, 10GbE or GbE connections can join the editing workflow more efficiently.
Note: Thunderbolt cables are sold separately. Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 converters may not be compatible with certain Windows PC models.
Note: For professional collaborative video editing, it is recommended to use TVS-x82T series NAS.

Direct Access to 10GbE Network from Your Mac
The innovative Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet converter (T2E) allows your Mac® devices to access 10GbE networks via the TS-453BT3, providing flexible, convenient and highly-efficient data transfer without needing to buy extra adapters or converters.
Note: T2E transmission speed may be affected when using a virtual switch. QNAP aims to continue improving and optimizing T2E performance.

Greater Efficiency with SSD Caching and 10GbE Connectivity
The pre-installed dual-port M.2 SATA SSD/10GBASE-T expansion card* enables caching or Qtier auto-tiering technology to improve NAS performance without occupying disk bays of the NAS.
The 10GBASE-T port ensures that the TS-453BT3 meets 10GbE infrastructure requirements and can efficiently manage data transfers requiring high-bandwidth.
*The included QM2 expansion card is customized for use with the TS-453BT3 only. When used with other QNAP NAS, only the 10GBASE-T functionality will work.

Simple, Sleek and Trendy Look
The TS-453BT3 features a sliding cover design with tool-less 3.5-inch hard drive installation, making it easier for you to set up and maintain. The OLED front panel displays system information (including CPU temperatures, fan speed, and storage capacities of hard drives, volumes and LUN), allowing you to quickly view overall system status. Dust-proof capacitive touch buttons allow you to easily wake up the screen, change network IP settings and host password or even restart and shut down the system.
