QTS Interface

The new login page looks awesome!


QNAP's nicely designed QTS desktop. With Synology's and Asustor's operating system following closely, it is probably the most user-friendly NAS OS on the market.


QTS gives you the ability to tailor everything to your needs. You can, for starters, move and rearrange icons on the desktop and immediately access basic administrative functions, logs, and external devices. This interface even allows inexperienced users to easily control such fully featured NAS servers as the HS-251. It also supports many languages, so you can easily switch to one of your liking.


This menu gives you the ability to restart, shutdown, and logout, or change the password, jump to the QTS page, and put the NAS into sleep mode (not available for all models). It also allows you to configure any and all admin options.


These administrative options allow you to specify your email address, change the password or profile picture, or set a wallpaper by picking an existing one or uploading yours. There are also several other miscellaneous options you can configure.


QTS's help resource is incredibly useful and can be accessed by pressing on the question mark in the top-right corner.


The dashboard is easy-to-follow and very well designed. It will provide you with important system-specific information. These include HDD- and system statistics. The resource monitor is also quite important because it shows CPU-, RAM-, and bandwidth usage. The hardware section also tracks HDD and system temperatures and, when applicable, fan speed. The online user portion of it displays all currently connected users. If you want to disconnect or block a user or IP, you only have to click on the user and pick the action. Please note that all these dashboard widgets can be dragged onto the desktop. The color of the dashboard will also change based on the system's health status, giving you a quick way of figuring out whether everything is running as it should.
