Important Notes

• Removed support for TEHUTI network cards.
• For the best experience and optimal system performance, we recommend updating all available applications in the App Center after updating the firmware.
• QTS 6.1.0 Public Beta currently supports a specific set of applications. For the full list, please see https://www.qnap.com/en/app-center/?os=quts&version=6.1.0%20Public%20Beta We will expand support for more applications in future official releases.
• Starting from 6.1.0, QTS no longer supports the following applications.
• Starting with QTS 6, creating new file-based LUNs is no longer supported. Existing file-based LUNs can still be used and exported. When importing a file-based LUN, the system creates it as a new block-based LUN.
• To improve system security, this release requires certificate validity fields to comply with the ITU-T X.690 encoding rules, including a complete seconds value. Most mainstream certificate tools and public certificate authorities already follow these rules, and thus most users will not be affected. However, certificates issued by internal enterprise certificate authorities or embedded in devices may not conform.If a certificate does not meet these requirements, it can no longer be loaded. Certificates that were already imported before this update will continue to work until the related service restarts or the NAS reboots. If you are affected, please contact your certificate issuing authority to request a reissued certificate that conforms to these rules.

Security Updates

• Applied multiple security updates to further enhance system security.

New Features

Web Initialization

• NAS models in the QAI series can now enable AI Mode during initialization. Once enabled, the system automatically installs AI-related packages, simplifies general home-use settings, and applies a dedicated AI NAS interface style, making the device ready for AI applications out of the box. Note: This option is only available on QAI series models and does not appear during initialization on other models.
• Added AI-guided storage configuration during system initialization. You can just describe your use case in plain language. AI will provide tailored setup recommendations without requiring specific technical knowledge of RAID.
• Modernized the system initialization experience with intuitive step-by-step guidance and a unified visual design, streamlining the setup process for a seamless, hassle-free onboarding experience from start to finish.

Control Panel

• Administrators can now help users disable passwordless login in case they need to log in with other methods.
• Administrators can now view and manage QNAP IDs that are linked to user accounts.
• You can now set a preferred firmware update time in a reminder message on the desktop for greater flexibility and control.
• Added support for configuring SSH encryption settings for network file-sharing connections. Users can select from predefined encryption modes or use a custom mode to specify preferred encryption algorithms.

Desktop & Login

• You can now log in to the NAS with your QNAP ID. This allows you to log in without having to remember local account credentials for a more streamlined user experience. Administrators can enable this feature in Control Panel > Security > Login and Password.
• QTS now supports the FIDO2 authentication standard to enhance NAS login security and user experience. You can now log in using physical security keys such as YubiKey, or platform authenticators such as Windows Hello and Touch ID. Known as Passkey, this login method can be enabled in Desktop > Login & Security > 2-step Verification or Passwordless Login.

AI Services

• QTS now introduces AI Service Center (AISC) as a centralized hub for managing and deploying AI models across NAS applications. AISC enables flexible resource allocation, supporting local hardware acceleration (CPU, iGPU, NPU, and discrete GPUs) as well as seamless integration with cloud AI services (OpenAI, Gemini, and Azure).

Search & AI

• Qsirch introduces an AI-powered semantic search mode, enabling you to describe and find files using conversational natural language instead of exact keywords or file names. (Note: This feature requires a QNAP NAS with a GPU featuring at least 16 GB VRAM and LLM Core 1.1.0 or later.)

AI Agent

• QTS introduces QuAgent, an intelligent conversational AI assistant designed to assist with NAS management tasks through natural language dialogue. You can conveniently query system status, perform file operations, check backup tasks, and set up automated schedules simply by chatting with the agent.

Enhancement

App Center

• You can now choose whether to display desktop notifications when application updates are available.
• App Center now features a fully redesigned interface for a more modern and intuitive user experience.

Snapshot Replica

• Improved Snapshot Replica job settings by replacing “Timeout” with “Retry interval.” If a system timeout or request failure occurs, the system now retries the connection after the specified interval. The default retry interval is 300 seconds and can be configured between 1 and 3600 seconds.
• Snapshot Replica backup jobs now support resumable transfers, allowing transfers to resume after an interruption. This can effectively improve transfer reliability.

Snapshot Manager

• Snapshot Manager now records changes in global settings in the event logs and includes updated descriptions for several settings to improve clarity.

Control Panel

• Added support for the Intel Arc B70 discrete graphics card on the Control Panel's Hardware Resource page. This support is only available on certain models (TS-X74, TVS-AIh1688ATX, QAI-h1290FX, TS-X77AX). Once the graphics card is installed, you can view the model, temperature, utilization, and memory usage directly. Note: QAI-h1290FX users must contact QNAP support to update the BIOS so that this feature can support the Intel graphics card.
• Optimized the firmware update interface, making it easier to monitor the firmware update progress.

Desktop & Login

• Improved the flow of QNAP Account (QNAP ID) login. If a QNAP Account is not yet linked to any local NAS account, the system now guides you through the setup process, instead of simply displaying an error message.
• Merged the "Recent Notifications" and "Notification Center" into a single notification icon on the Task Bar, simplifying navigation and decluttering the user interface.
• Refreshed the visual design across the login screen, desktop menus, task bar, and various pop-up windows, delivering a more intuitive, polished, and modern user experience.
• Simplified the default desktop layout for a cleaner look with key features prominently displayed. (Note: This change applies to new installations only. Existing desktop settings are not affected.)
• You can now enable or disable password login according to your needs. Note that disabling password login can enhance account security, but you will only be able to access applications that support passwordless login, such as web login, Qfile Pro (Android/iOS), Qmanager (Android/iOS), and Qsync Client (Windows/Mac). To configure this setting, go to Desktop > Login & Security > Passwordless Login > Available Verification Methods.
• The Quick Start page has been redesigned and renamed to Feature Tour. This new tour integrates key feature highlights and the latest updates to help you quickly learn about essential NAS features. It appears automatically upon your first login and can be revisited anytime in Desktop > More > Help.
• On the login screen and in the login information on the Desktop, QTS now automatically enables PQC (post-quantum cryptography) and indicates a secure connection when the TLS version is set to 1.3 in Control Panel.

Dashboard

• Redesigned the Dashboard for a streamlined right-side panel that displays key metrics like system health, CPU/memory usage, storage capacity, and temperature. You can customize your layout by adding, removing, or resizing cards, with settings syncing seamlessly across desktop and mobile devices via QNAP ID.

Web Initialization

• Added an optional QNAP Account (QNAP ID) login step during initialization to link your device and account. You may skip this step without affecting the rest of setup. Once linked, you can remotely access and manage your NAS with your QNAP Account (QNAP ID), making your remote access simpler and more secure.
• Added an optional storage configuration step during initialization. The system automatically determines and provides a default configuration based on the number and type of drives installed, showing you the drive count, RAID level, and available capacity before you confirm the settings. You can skip this step without affecting the rest of the installation.

Network & Virtual Switch

• Network & Virtual Switch now supports customizable MAC addresses, allowing users to assign addresses that align with their network requirements.
• Migrated the Network & Virtual Switch web help to Help Center, where users can access more detailed and comprehensive documentation.
