Ive been getting constant login attempts to any port ive opened for any purpose. They have also attempted ddos attacks, and im just using it to host a small plex server.

Does anyone else experience this?

I was about to pull the trigger on this one for a particular remote application, but I noticed that QNAP US lists it as unavailable as does NewEgg. You can still get it from Amazon. Howver, it made me wonder if this model was being retired or had been superseded. Anyone know?

Anyone have any issues with the upgrade of SMB Service 4.15 from .007 to .008? I run a Windows 11 and Linux Mixed Network. I saw this was available after my last NAS upgrade. Just curious if I am on the cutting edge or if this has been out a while and tested fully in the field. TIA.

I have a 4 drive QNAP TS-451D2-4G that I've been running for about 4 years now. I would like to expand the storage capabilities but don't now about the details to do so. If I buy a QNAP TR-004 to expand it by up to 4 more drives, can I just add it on with the drives and expand the storage pool or would this require backing up all of the original data on the current array, rebuilding the entire thing with 8 drives, and then restoring the data? Is there a tutorial or FAQ on doing this anywhere?

Update: Problem solved: I had to "soft reset" (keeping all user data but deleting the network settings, admin user, ...). Some configuration (or expired SSL certificate, or something like this) was the culprit, not the network.

Original post:

I have a somewhat older NAS (TS-431+), and I have a problem: It is not, at least not really, available via network.

First things first: My setup:
The NAS is attached via LAN-cable to my Fritz-router (4050). It is configured with a dynamic DHCP-address. Its visible in both the router as well as Qfinder.

Now, my topic: I can start the configuration dialogue in Qfinder. But I cannot access it via browser (nor ping it).

And, after some time, it disappeares from Qfinder as well (but i still visible in my router). Until I restart it, or disconnect the LAN cable for some seconds.

Tbh., I have absolutely no idea what could cause this strange behaviour.

Update: below is Qfinders details-page. And I have changed the LAN cable, just to be sure.

So, while perusing amazon I came across a heck of a deal on a TSA-H886 that was used but like new from amazon (they were the reseller).

So, I pulled the trigger and got it yesterday. Outside of the fact that the power supply fan is horribly loud (had the same issue with a TS-855X not so long ago) it is running quts hero 6 like a champ.

I had 128 GB of ddr4 floating around so I loaded it up with all that ram and it's pretty happy. I get that it's EOS but for the price I couldn't argue! Anyway, anyone still have one of these in production? Anything I should be on the lookout for?

Was also sort of funny having to walkthrough the upgrade path as this thing came running QUTS 4.5.4 from like 2023. I ended up going from 4.54 to 5.x.x then to 6. Took a while but all is stable!

I have a QNAP TS-253Be (latest QTS firmware) with Disk 1 (500GB, System Drive) and Disk 2 (16TB).

My data is on Disk 2 as encrypted shared folders but Disk 1 has the system/apps.

I need to replace Disk 1 - do I just remove the disk and add the new one?

Hello to everyone on the forum, and thank you, also on behalf of the other users, for all the unconventional help you provide!

For a long time, 3 or 4 years in fact! I've been having a problem transferring data from any Windows PC to my QNAP 453 PRO NAS with RAID6 (four 2TB WDRED disks). Basically, when I try to copy or move files from my PC to the NAS, it takes a very long time, even hours. The strange thing is that most of the time the data transfer stops, it says "transfer speed 0 kbps" and then restarts when it decides, either slowly or quickly, randomly, and it happens whether I select several small files or just a few large ones, such as ISOs.

My PC is a 12th-generation Intel Core i7, with 32 GB of RAM—it's old but still good—and the NAS also has 8 GB of RAM. The network cards are the original 1 GB ones.

I don't know what to do. Sometimes the 4 GB transfer stops and then restarts when it wants to.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful!

Obviously, I'm connected via cable 3 meters from the NAS, with a Ubiquiti switch and a TIM Gigabit router. Everything is updated to the latest versions of their respective systems. I now have Windows 11, but the problem was also with Windows 7 and Windows 8. 10....

Thank you all so much!

Hey there just joined the group. I have my qnap 431p running for a long time and wanted to expand the storage. I have a bunch of other single drives and am looking to add them to the Nas. Can i buy the TERRAMASTER D4-320 and connect it via usb to the Nas and have 4 more drives appear? Im just looking to add the as single drives I don't care about RAID and all that for these extra drives. Any help would be great as I'm having trouble getting a clear answer on my own.,Thanks!!

PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct : r/technology

I have read a couple places that a NAS should connect to a patch panel which connects to the switch. My hierarchy is use (speed/latency, quality, etc) over troubleshooting ease.

Assuming a standard CAT6 patch, and most switches have 2.5g/10g/sfp options, it seems silly to 'waste' these connections with an extra step in the chain.

Thoughts?

Hi Everyone,

I was looking for a new JBOD enclosure to store 4 drives in, without the overhead from USB or other connectors. This means I need a SAS enclosure, that is self contained and self-powered

The search led me to the TL-D400S, which is a JBOD enclosure with a SAS SFF-8088 connector.

I got this connected to an LSI SAS2008 card on a machine running FreeBSD, unfortunately I'm getting command timeouts randomly, that can only be resolved by the system sending a reset and retrying the command. This means that at minimum my system freezes for 8 seconds before the timeout I've configured (kern.cam.da.default_timeout=8) kicks in. Normally this is as much as 30 seconds.

Now I see that QNAP specifically says they're using a SATA redriver here, which I assume is causing some trouble with my card. However at the same time... We're doing SATA, why is it being so difficult? Just passthrough the drives..

Anyone else has experience with it? I think I'm about to return it as I can't get it to work without freezing every couple of minutes under high I/O load.

Thanks!

We changed wi-fi accounts (same service, just housemate moved out so got new account/log-ins and replaced the physical equipment). I had my QNAP NAS off and unplugged as I wasn't going to be home when change occurred. The NAS is plugged directly into the router so I guess doesn't require wi-fi network/password info.

Restarted NAS, got on computer and used the QFinder to open the NAS screen, shutdown Plex and re-started it. Went to open it and while it opens, it does not show the media libraries. It did ask me for consent to sell some of my data and I clicked on Do Not Agree. IDK if that is the issue or if there is something else I need to virtually reconnect.

Help!

Edited to add, the shared drive on my W11 desktop (how I move files onto the NAS) also doesn't come up and going by it, the end of the IP address was .152 and now on Qfinder it is .11. My housemate actually replugged NAS into router as I forgot that part and sadly didn't take a picture to see which plug had previously been used. Could this be the issue?

Hi, I am testing running TrueNas Scale with a QNAP TS-873 Nas, a TL-d1600s enclosure (fully loaded) with itm propritory controller and also a QNAP PCI NVME 10GGB Card.

Trunas install fine and i can create a raid 5 array on the main nas.

but i cant seem to get the 16 bay enclosure to work. it does not seem to initialise duting the truenas boot up.

readig online some sites recommend, setting up biurification on the slots, but when i installed a vga card and entered the bios, it was from 2018 and was very basic.

cant seem to find or know if there is a later bios version than 2018..

I would be most grateful if anybody has got a similar setup working..

After setting up my TS-664 I learned too late that notification history and some other logs require an unencrypted volume to save at.

I don’t have one 🫩 external USB drives aren’t accepted for that function either.

I don’t recall being given this important detail when setting up the NAS. Did I miss it?

Any suggestions as to how to recover from this shortfall? Just add another small internal drive? I got a spare bay but it feels like this is a crude approach.

I guess I could look into shrinking an existing volume but that’s a bit more intrusive than I’d like.

Can I add a cloud based drive somehow? Not great I know, since the access could fail any time.

Thanks.

Some QNAP NAS units seem to use these little flat expansion card plates like in the last picture of this Amazon listing.

https://www.amazon.com/QNAP-QXG-2G1T-I225-Single-4-Speed-Network/dp/B08FB83C1H/

Does that plate have a standard name or is it proprietary to QNAP?

Are there any third party network cards in the $50 price range compatible with these kinds of QNAP NAS expansion slots?

So far I haven't found them, but I'm not sure I know what to search for.
