Once you hear 3 short beeps, it means the firmware recovery is being started. If not, please power off the NAS and redo it with the above steps 4 to 6. Warning: Using unsupported modules may degrade performance, cause errors, or prevent the operating system from starting.
Overall, I find it hard to fault the hardware externally on the QNAP TVS-472XT, as it is a much more mature and balanced approach to hardware compared with the “ALL IN” approach of the TVS-682T. So, let us get inside. The iMac Pro® is the first Mac® computer that includes a 10Gb Ethernet port, marking a milestone in the growing mainstream demands for 10GbE connectivity. As the TVS-472XT comes with both 10GbE and Thunderbolt™ 3 ports, it provides an exceptional storage base for iMac Pro® users as they can flexibly choose between Thunderbolt™ 3 and 10GbE connections to suit their application and device needs. You will enter the BIOS Setup.Press the right arrow key to navigate to the Boot settings screen, and select "Hard Drive BBS Priorities" Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish If you thinking to insert TB card to install QuTS Hero and then remove the card no you can not. You will get the same Maintenance mode/License required BS the second you remove TB card.
QNAP TVS-872XT-I5-16G 8 Bay SAN/NAS/DAS Diskless Enclosure with Intel Core i5-8400T
Environment: Refer to ISO 7779; Maximum HDD loaded; Bystander Position; Average data from 1 meter in front of operating NAS. QuTS Hero license requirement and forced maintenance mode is just a measure implemented by Qnap to limit users ability to use aforementioned firmware on theirs not officially supported NASes. Or maybe Qnap still thinking about charging money for this firmware. Above: Re-running the tests with the NAS configured as RAID 5 allows three disks to be read simultaneously, boosting my read and write speeds over a direct Thunderbolt connection to 440Mbyte/s in the 5GB stress test. That’s pretty impressive stuff, far exceeding what you can achieve over a traditional 1Gb network connection.
Up to 2 Thunderbolt™ devices can be connected to the TVS-472XT to process real-time photo and audio editing simultaneously without impacting system performance. As Final Cut Pro® X 10.3 (and later) supports file sharing via SMB, Windows® users and other devices utilizing Thunderbolt™ 3, 10GbE or GbE connections can join the editing workflow more efficiently. Use programs like IFTTT to streamline your digital life and record all data made and shared about you in a central locationPlug a USB flash drive to your PC. The USB flash drive should be 1GB or 2GB. Please format the USB flash drive as FAT32. Above: Once the NAS is running, you’ll need to configure your drive pool into usable storage; there’s loads of options but most owners will probably choose to group them into one large volume for improved performance and some protection against disk failure. With a four-drive NAS, the main options are RAID 5, 6 or 10, with RAID 5 giving the greatest capacity and speed, but protection against only one drive failing, while RAID 6 and 10 offer protection against two failures but with a lower total capacity. There’s loads of articles and videos explaining the pros and cons of different RAID levels, but I generally opt for RAID 5 on smaller arrays to maximise capacity and performance. Real-time SnapSync immediately synchronizes data changes with the destination storage, ensuring the primary and secondary NAS always have the same data. RPO is minimal to achieve real-time disaster recovery.
A virtual private network (VPN) allows secure access to network resources and services across public networks. QVPN supports creating a VPN client, using the TVS-h474 as a VPN server, and WireGuard® VPN service with an easy-to-use interface for setting up a secure connection. Qtier™ Technology empowers the TVS-472XT with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs based on the data's access frequency. Qtier™ 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSDs. M.2 SSD operations can easily generate excessive heat. It is recommended to install a heatsink (from QNAP or a third-party provider) on the M.2 SSD. If you only hear a short beep or do not hear any beep, follow the instructions of this guide to recover your NAS.paired DDR4 memory of the same speed, capacity, and die type required for two or four DIMM configurations) Slot 2: PCIe Gen3 x4 (PCH)Note: Slot 1 is pre-installed with a Thunderbolt 3 network expansion card If the HDD(s) have been used on the NAS before, the firmware on the NAS and the HDDs may be inconsistent, you need to update the firmware again.
One extra thing I spotted that was worthy of comment under that big heatsink was a dedicated controller chip in the form of the Aquantia ACQ107 network controller. This was a nice extra touch and certainly something that filled me with confidence regarding 10Gbe performance alongside the Thunderbolt 3 transmission.
History snippet: I have swapped Tunderbolt add-on card with GPU the same day I bought TVS-472XT NAS about two years ago and used it primarily as a Plex server ever since.
