Thank you for reaching out with your upgrade plans and questions regarding the QNAP TS-453E NAS device.
Regarding your first question about daisy-chaining the QNAP TR-004 off the back of the TS-453E, yes, you can connect the TR-004 to the TS-453E via USB. The TR-004 will be recognized as an additional volume on the NAS and can be accessed as a shared folder. This setup allows you to consolidate your storage and manage all your data from one centralized location.
As for your second question, while the TS-453E is capable of running Plex and serving as a file server, considering your needs for Plex usage and file management, you may want to explore NAS models with a quad-core Celeron processor or faster for optimal performance. You can find a selection of such NAS models tailored for Plex usage on our website here.
These models offer enhanced processing power and are better suited for demanding tasks like Plex media streaming. Exploring these options may help you find a NAS that better aligns with your requirements.
