![]() QNAP Video Station is software for watching and managing videos stored on NAS storage devices. ![]() Install Music Station on QNAP NAS from the App Center to play audio files. Connect headphones or speakers to your QNAP NAS, and listen to the audio content. This option is especially useful for users who use NAS as a multimedia station at home to store and play media files, including video and audio. An eSATA port cannot be used to connect a NAS device directly to a computer.Īn integrated audio controller has audio output and input ports (mini jack 3.5 mm). Install a QNAP QM2 card, SSD drive, Ethernet adapter, Wi-Fi adapter, or a graphics card into a PCI Express slot to extend the functionalities of a QNAP NAS device.ĮSATA ports are used to connect external hard disk drives and expansion units. PCIe slots are used to add a PCI adapter such as M.2 SSD without using a drive bay. The TVS series of QNAP NAS have more powerful specifications than the TS series, such as a more powerful CPU, additional PCIe slots, built-in transcoding engine, and so on. The name of this feature is USB QuickAccess. A virtual switch is used on a NAS device, and you can connect to your NAS by using the IP address of your NAS that is connected to your computer via USB. However, there is a difference because you should use a network interface, not disk drives such as F:, G:, K:, which are usually used to access directly attached disk drives (in Windows for example). Some QNAP NAS models support connecting a NAS device to a computer by using a USB 3.0 micro-B port, just like you would connect a USB HDD to a computer. USB ports are used to connect USB drives, printers, external network adapters, and other devices. If you use RAID in your NAS, hot swap allows you to change a disk and rebuild the RAID without downtime of your NAS. This feature is usually available on NAS models whose chassis is designed for quick access to drive bays without the need to unscrew the chassis screws. ![]() The hardware and software of NAS must support this feature. Hot swap is a feature that allows you to uninstall and install disks without powering off a NAS device. Don’t use hard disk drives of the green series to avoid any issues. QNAP NAS devices are supplied without disks. Check also the maximum supported capacity of disk drives that can be added to the NAS device. If all drive bays of your NAS are full, connecting an expansion unit allows you to install more disk drives on your NAS system. NAS models that have a built-in graphic adapter and an HDMI port for video output can display video on a monitor, for example, play video files stored on NAS.īefore choosing the NAS model, pay attention to the number of disk bays, and check if the NAS model supports connecting an expansion unit (also called expansion chassis or expansion enclosure). ARM processors consume less power and cost less. Choose x86-64 processors for better performance and compatibility with applications. Marvell, Realtek, and AnnapurnaLabs provide processors of the ARM architecture. Intel and AMD provide 64-bit processors of the x86-64 architecture. QES (QNAP Enterprise Storage) is an operating system based on the FreeBSD kernel and the ZFS file system.QuTS hero is a modification of QTS adapted to work with a 128-bit ZFS file system. ![]()
