Enhancements
Storage&Snapshots
- Storage & Snapshots now displays NAS model pictures in a new style.
- Users can now enable guaranteed snapshot space during storage pool creation and set a snapshot schedule during volume creation.
Fixed Issues
- SNMP receivers cannot receive SNMP traps sent from ARM-based NAS models.
- When a non-administrator user took a snapshot, System Event Log would still display "admin" as the user who performed this action.
- Users could not upgrade SSD cache when updating QTS from 4.5.4 to 5.0.0.
- Administrators could not edit domain user settings.
- Users could not manually configure the speeds of smart fans.
Known Issues
- Twonky Server cannot function normally on the TS-h973AX running QTS 5.0.0.1776.
- Some applications cannot access the NAS when secure connection and TLS 1.3 are enabled. This is due to a known issue in the applications. We will fix this issue in upcoming app releases.
- macOS Finder takes a long time to display content in SMB shared folders when users connect the Mac to the NAS via Thunderbolt. This problem may be due to Mac device driver issues. It only occurs to Mac devices with Intel processors and macOS 11.3 (or later versions).
- Thunderbolt write speeds are lower than expected in QTS 5.0.0.
- QTS and QuTS hero with newer kernel versions do not support ATTO Fibre Channel adapters. If you have already installed an ATTO Fibre Channel adapter on your device, we do not recommend updating the firmware to QTS 5.0.0 or QuTS hero h5.0.0 for the time being.
- QTS 5.0.0 temporarily does not support certain third-party applications, utilities, or services.
- QRM+ temporarily does not support the TS-x32, TS-x32U and TS-x35A models running QTS 5.0.0. We will add support for these models in upcoming releases.
- Users cannot update the firmware of the QXG-10G2T-NXE network expansion card after updating QTS to 5.0.0.
- Control Panel cannot display the information of the TPU installed in the M.2 slot on the QGD-1602P.
- The TS-453B cannot play sound when users connect the NAS to a monitor via HDMI port 2 and test audio output in HD Station.
- QTS 5.0.0 does not support x63U models. We will add support for these models in upcoming releases.
- Network & Virtual Switch displays unexpected interface connection status and FEC status when users connect the following pairs of devices:
- NAS with Mellanox network adapter + NAS with Mellanox network adapter
- NAS with Intel E810 network adapter + NAS with Mellanox network adapter
- NAS with Intel E810 network adapter + Mellanox switch
- NAS with Mellanox network adapter + QSW-M5216 switch
