QTS 5.0.1

2022-09-15

QTS 5.0.1 brings many new features to enhance the security and improve the performance of your NAS. You can now benefit from faster file transfer speeds, better system stability, safer data storage, integrated file search, USB connectivity control, and much more. See What’s New to learn about main features and Other Changes to learn about other features, enhancements, and changes.

We also include fixes to reported issues and provide information about known issues. For details, see Fixed and Known Issues. You should also see Important Notes before updating QTS.

Replace a RAID Disk with a Spare Before Potential Failure

Users can now replace a disk in a RAID group with a spare disk any time, without waiting for the system to replace it only after it fails.

As soon as signs of possible disk failure appear—such as when the system slows down due to an unstable disk or disk S.M.A.R.T. errors are detected, or when DA Drive Analyzer predicts a disk will fail soon—users can plan ahead and perform the Replace & Detach action on a disk in Storage > Disks/VJBOD. This action copies data from the problematic disk to a spare disk, and then safely detaches the problematic disk.

Enhanced Transfer Speeds for SMB Encryption

QNAP has improved the performance for SMB 3.0 (Server Message Block) signing and encryption with AES-NI hardware acceleration in QTS 5.0.1. QTS 5.0.1 has greatly enhanced the transfer speeds, which can provide better transmission efficiency and satisfy the demands for data security at the same time.

Free exFAT Support on ARM-based NAS Models

After introducing free support for the exFAT file system to the x86-based models in an earlier QTS release, we now provide free exFAT support also for the ARM-based models.

This native support allows you to quickly transfer 4K/8K Ultra HD videos and high-resolution photos between your NAS and exFAT storage devices (such as SD cards and USB flash drives) without purchasing an exFAT license, greatly improving your media backup and playback experience.

Windows Search Protocol (WSP) Support for Mounted Shared Folders

QTS 5.0.1 now supports Microsoft WSP, which relies on the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. With WSP, users can search NAS shared folders via Windows when an SMB drive is mounted.

With WSP, users can issue queries to remote servers to quickly search files by filename, extension, or other search criteria.

Support for TCG-Enterprise Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs)

In addition to TCG-OPAL, QTS 5.0.1 now also supports TCG-Enterprise SED compliant HDDs and SSDs to further protect your data. A self-encrypting drive (SED) is a drive with a controller that automatically encrypts and decrypts data. Your data on SEDs is protected by an encryption key and cannot be accessed by unauthorized users even if your SEDs are stolen or lost. Thanks to their hardware encryption mechanisms, SEDs do not require CPU resources or encryption software for data protection.

You can use SEDs to create SDE secure storage pools and SED secure static volumes in Storage & Snapshots. To learn more about supported drives, see our Compatibility List.

Disallow USB Connections to Enhance Device Security

USB ports provide a convenient way to connect your NAS with other devices. However, this convenient accessibility can also expose your NAS to secure risks. Starting from QTS 5.0.1, you can choose to disallow all USB devices or only disallow USB storage devices (such as external drives or expansion enclosures). USB blocking adds an extra layer of protection to safeguard your NAS against security threats such as viruses and malware.

To disallow USB connections, go to Control Panel > System > External Device > USB and then select the types of USB devices that you want to block.

Other Changes

App Center

  • For security concerns, QTS no longer supports adding app shortcuts on the login screen.

Control Panel

  • When importing users, you can now choose to require imported users to change their password upon their first login.

  • Shortened the waiting period for auto firmware updates. QTS now starts an auto update within only one hour from the scheduled time if a new firmware version is available for your device.

  • Administrators can now choose to receive notifications upon login if a recommended firmware update is available. (This option is enabled by default).

  • NFS service can now support static ports.

  • Removed certain device information from the login screen to enhance device security.

  • Added an option to force users to change their password upon their first login.

  • To ensure device security, the "admin" account cannot use the default password (the MAC address of the first network adapter) when changing the password.

  • Added the following features in Control Panel to optimize the mechanism and workflow of firmware updates:

  • Merged live update settings and auto update settings into a single user interface.

  • Enhanced notifications for firmware updates. Users can choose to postpone or cancel updates before the scheduled update time.

  • Introduced a new update type: security updates. We recommend selecting this update type in auto update settings to ensure your device security.

  • The default UPS policy is now set to "auto-protection mode" after NAS initialization.

  • You can now create a one-time power schedule. Note: To change your power schedule, delete the existing schedule and then create a new schedule.

  • To prevent malicious usernames and to ensure device security, QTS no longer allows usernames that contain the following characters: { } $ and the space character.

Desktop & Login

  • You can now configure the desktop icon size and font size in Desktop > Task Bar > Options > Wallpaper.

  • Instead of using the generic alias "appuser", QuLog Center and Desktop Dashboard now display actual usernames when users access system resources and services via a client app.

  • To enhance device security, the system now asks the "admin" user to change the password when the user logs in with the default password (the MAC address of the first network adapter).

File Station

  • File Station can now convert Apple iWork files to Microsoft Office formats with CloudConvert API v2.

  • Optimized the results of file name sorting for all languages. This helps deliver more consistent sorting results.

  • File Station now provides more information for background tasks to help you understand the detail, status, and progress of each task.

  • You can now share a shared folder via a share link.

  • Share links now display file thumbnails and allow you to select and download multiple files at the same time. We have also enhanced the UI design to improve your file sharing experience.

Initialization

  • On the QGD-1602P and QGD-1600P, you can now choose to install QNE ADRA during initialization.

License

  • You no longer need a license to operate QuTScloud installed in Virtualization Station. Note that License Center 1.7.5 (or later) is required for this change.

myQNAPcloud

  • To enhance device security, UPnP port forwarding is now disabled by default.

PHP

  • Upgraded the built-in PHP version to 7.4.20.

SAMBA

  • Users can now enable SMB signing for NAS devices that do not join a domain. To enable this setting, go to Control Panel > Network & File Services > Win/Mac/NFS/WebDAV > Microsoft Networking > Advanced Options.

Security

  • To prevent malware and ransomware from exploiting SMB v1 vulnerabilities, QTS now automatically sets the lowest SMB version to SMB v2 if your lowest SMB version is SMB v1 before this firmware update.

Storage & Snapshots

  • Storage & Snapshots now displays topology diagrams for SAS JBOD expansion enclosures to help visualize the arrangement of your storage devices.

  • For a more intuitive workflow, Storage & Snapshots now shows various options (such as "Remove" and "Expand") on the "Action" menu in Pool/Volume Management.

  • Instead of model photos, Storage & Snapshots now displays hardware model images in 2D drawings.

  • Storage & Snapshots now provides clearer information for the results of IronWolf Health Management (IHM) tests. This allows you to easily check the health of your IronWolf drives.

  • Storage & Snapshots now supports zooming in on hardware model drawings to display component details.

Important Notes

  • Out-of-the-box QTS 5.0.1 automatically installs security updates by default. Nevertheless, if you update the firmware from QTS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1, QTS will keep your existing firmware update settings. We recommend checking your firmware update settings in Control Panel > Firmware Update.

  • Removed support for the following developer tools: Node.js v4, Node.js v6, Node.js v8, and Ruby on Rails.

  • Removed support for the following apps or tools: Mono, Perl, and AlarmClock. We recommend running these apps or tools using Container Station if needed.
