RAID Structures

The QNAP TS-451 supports a range of RAID configurations, allowing users to choose the level of data protection and performance that suits their needs. Some of the common RAID structures supported include:

  1. RAID 0 (Stripe): Data is striped across multiple drives for increased performance. However, there's no redundancy, so a single drive failure can lead to data loss.

  2. RAID 1 (Mirror): Data is mirrored across two drives for enhanced data redundancy. If one drive fails, the data is still accessible from the mirrored drive.

  3. RAID 5: Data and parity information are distributed across multiple drives. RAID 5 offers a balance between performance and redundancy, and it can tolerate the failure of a single drive.

  4. RAID 6: Similar to RAID 5, but with dual parity for increased fault tolerance. RAID 6 can withstand the failure of two drives simultaneously.

  5. RAID 10 (RAID 1+0): Combines aspects of both RAID 1 and RAID 0. Data is mirrored and striped across multiple drives, offering both redundancy and performance benefits.

Operating System

The QNAP TS-451 runs the QTS (QNAP Turbo NAS) operating system. QTS provides a user-friendly web-based interface for managing and configuring various aspects of the NAS, including file storage, applications, network settings, and security features. QTS supports a wide range of applications that can be installed from the QNAP App Center, allowing users to customize their NAS with features such as media servers, backup solutions, surveillance applications, and more.

CPU

The QNAP TS-451 is powered by an Intel Celeron processor. The specific model of the processor can vary depending on the version or model of the TS-451. The CPU provides the processing power necessary for various tasks such as file transfers, media transcoding, and running applications.

Conclusion
