In the previous article, we looked at how Thunderbolt 3 is used tooneactivities in practice. In this era of giant files, all means for fast data transfer are very useful and in the case of NAS QNAP With the TS-453TB3, we don't have to rely only on the super-fast connection via the aforementionedoneThere are more options for very fast data transfer, but they are not for everyone.

In the previous article, which you can read in the link above, we tested in practice how fast data transfer is via the Thunderbolt 3 interface compared to regular transfer using a home WiFi network. If you often move large amounts of data, this solution can save you a lot of time. However, in addition to the Thunderbolt 3 interface QNAP The TS-453TB3 also supports another extremely fast data transfer method, via a 10Gbit Ethernet port.

LAN toonewhich with 10GbitE tooneThe activity is located on the back of the NAS. On the top of the device we find the output of the internal PCI-E card called QM2, which, in addition to the presence of a 10Gbit LAN port, also contains two M.2 slots for connecting two SSD disks, which you can use in several ways - either as an SSD cache (with RAID 0 and RAID 1 support), or as a classic scalable volume. The PCI-E card also has active cooling, which ensures that the installed SSD disks do not overheat.
The above-mentioned form of the additional QM2 card applies to the configuration that I have available for testing. The advantage of this solution is that QNAP offers several variant add-on cards depending on the end user's needs. You can buy either a card that only has a 10GbitE interface, or vice versa with up to four slots for M.2 SSD (or various combinations), or other expansion ports. You can find information about QM2 add-on cards here.
On the page tooneactivity is QNAP The TS-453BT3 is really well equipped. In the case of the Thunderbolt 3 interface, we are talking about speeds of up to around 500MB/s (for reading) and 350MB/s (for writing). When connected to an adequate 10Gbit network, the transfer speeds climb to 680MB/s (reading) and 540MB/s (writing). Unfortunately, I cannot test the advantages of a 10Gb network in practice, as I do not have the resources to do so. However, if you work in such a network and are looking for a solution for storing and backing up data, this model from QNAPit will not disappoint you in this regard.
