How to install Qnap QTS OS on NVME M.2 SSD
If you want to install OS on the NVMe, you should remove HDDs and keep only NVMe SSDs in there. The during the setup (will need to reset your NAS to factory defaults) you will be able to create volumes and RAID on a pair of NVMe M.2 SSDs (or 2.5inch SSDs). The system will then be installed on this volume.
Afterwards, you can put inside HDDs and build a RAID for these mechanical drives. Now all OS files will live on SSD also default app installation location will be NVMe. Alternatively, you can create NVMe volume and kee HDD RAID as the main storage location. All apps can be migrated to NVMe storage.
I hope this helps.
will adding 2step verification change the way using share links work (ie: sending a share link to a shared folder on my nas to friends via email)?

Hi, Thanks for the great video!
Would you be able.to elaborate on sharing the file process to an external temporary user, please?

I miss the most important step, formatting and throwing away the QNAP.

Found the presentation very irritating. Why keep wizzing the cursor around the screen. Why not use a large black cursor. Don’t do everything so quickly.

I have an older TS-469 Pro running 4.3.4, so I guess my NAS is somewhat obsolete in terms of available applications such as Security Counselor
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I don’t have the QuFirewall and the SSecurity Counselor available sadly, at least it just doesn’t want to install. Probably because my NAS is way too old, running QTS 4.2.6

Thank you. Wish I’d seen your recommendations BEFORE the Qlocker attack.

Hi, do you know if it’s really interesting for speed access to QTS ? Can you make a speedtest and give results ? And is it possible do this with HDD already used for RAID5 and QTS installed on them ? Thanks for answer !

If Norton or Bitdefender is installed as your main antivirus, will they be able to work on Qnap NAS? Instead of MacAfee, which for instance I don’t like.

Dude. Just a side note after watching 150+ videos. I have NEVER heard “noise in the background” so please stop apologizing for it. Not. Once. Ever.

I wish I saw this video before ???? apparently Qnap got hit with a massive ransomware attack this year and I had no idea. My files are all encrypted by some hacker asking for Bitcoin in exchange for passwords ????

Changing the default port does not enhance security. Security by obscurity. Port scanners can detect open ports it might fool some scripts.
Most people who serious about securing administrative interfaces dont expose them directly to the internet period.
Thats terrible terrible terrible security pratice.
A seperate vpn server with a dedicated vlan for admin is what you should be using to secure the admin interface and remotely managing the nas.
Example
Setup vlan 100 for management
Setup vlan 201 for cifs
Setup vlan 202 for iscsi
Setup vlan 300 for public network (internet)
Setup vpn server in dmz with one arm into the public network (300) another arm into vlan 100.
Setup logging and auditing.
Ensure 2fa exists for vpn service.
The qnap should have ports trunked with vlan 100,201,202 or dedicated ports.
Assign the services ip addresses in each of the ranges.
I never ever bother changing port numbers it simply offers very little security and may just elude some scripts scanning on certain ports
