Important Notes
- For the status of QTS updates and maintenance for your NAS model, visit https://www.qnap.com/en/product/eol.php
- Removed support for USB printers.
- To ensure data security, system stability, and storage performance, the maximum number of drives for a single RAID group is now 16 (applicable to RAID 5, RAID 6, and subgroups of RAID 50 and RAID 60). Nevertheless, users can combine multiple RAID groups into a large storage pool that contains more than 16 drives, using RAID 50, RAID 60, or RAID 10 as the RAID configuration. This enhancement will only be applied to new RAID groups. All existing RAID groups and storage systems will not be affected.
Fixed Issues
- QuLog Center could not set a legacy volume as the destination of log archive.
- Users could still install third-party applications without valid digital signatures even when they did not allow such an installation in the App Center settings.
- Audio alerts could not function normally after users removed Multimedia Console from App Center.
- The Eject button in "Storage & Snapshots" > "External Storage" could not function normally for removable disk-based storage devices (RDX).
- Hybrid Backup Sync could not complete a one-way RTRR sync job if the source NAS had a large number of subfolders in the same folder path.
- After setting up a NAS as the main domain controller and another NAS as the additional domain controller, domain users would take a long time to log in to the main domain controller when the additional controller was offline (for example, when this device was restarting).
- After users installed OpenVPN in App Center and an OpenVPN container in Container Station, if they disabled OpenVPN in App Center, the virtual OpenVPN in Container Station would also be disabled.
- Non-administrator users could not move files to Recycle Bin if they were denied access to Recycle Bin in the folder permission settings. (Normally, non-administrator users should still be able to delete files even when they do not have permission to access Recycle Bin.)
- QuFirewall would display a large number of warning messages (about the denied broadcast packets from the IP address 253.253.253.253) due to a change in the name of virtual interfaces.
Known Issues
- Twonky Server cannot function normally on the TS-h973AX running the latest versions of QTS.
- 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 (or later versions).
- Thunderbolt write speeds are lower than expected in QTS 5.0.0. Note: Due to Thunderbolt driver compatibility issues, if you are using macOS 11/12 devices with Intel processors, we do not recommend updating QTS to 5.0.0 for the time being.
- 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.
- Control Panel cannot display the information of the TPU installed in the M.2 slot on the QGD-1602P.
- After users rename a shared folder, QuLog Center still displays the original folder name in Accessed Resources.
- The WordPress folder would disappear from the NAS Web Folder after users updated QTS to 5.0.0 and WordPress to 5.7.2. (WordPress could not keep the previous settings during the update.)
Other Changes
SSD Profiling Tool
- QTS no longer pre-installs SSD Profiling Tool by default. Users can install this tool in the App Center.
Control Panel
- Replaced SQL Server with MariaDB 5/MariaDB 10, which can be installed in the App Center.
- Removed iSCSI Service from Service Binding in Control Panel. Users can now configure iSCSI service binding settings in iSCSI & Fibre Channel.
Qboost
- Qboost is no longer a built-in application of QTS. Users can choose to install Qboost in App Center.
App Center
- To ensure system security, QTS now automatically disables applications that are not updated and that do not meet the minimum version requirements.
- Removed support for the following applications, utilities, or services:
- WebERP
- GLPI
- Vtiger CRM
- Ragic Cloud DB
QVR Pro Client & QVR Smart Client
- Starting from QTS 5.0.0, HybridDesk Station no longer supports QVR Pro Client (HDMI output). You can install QVR Smart Client on HybridDesk Station as the client software for your QVR Pro, QVR Elite, or QVP surveillance servers. Note that QVR AI Pack License is required for using QVR Smart Client. You can continue using QVR Pro Client on Windows or macOS as the client software for your surveillance servers to watch live views or play back recordings.
NVR Storage Expansion
- Starting from QTS 5.0.0, NVR Storage Expansion is no longer supported.
