In addition to HBS 3, CacheMount and QuMagie, here is a run-down of the other key new apps and features in QTS 4.4.1:
- Multimedia Console: The Multimedia Console consolidates all QTS multimedia applications into one app, allowing easier and centralized multimedia app management. Users can select source files for each multimedia application and can also set their permission settings.
- Freely Remove Qtier’s SSD RAID Tier: Users can flexibly remove the SSD from the SSD RAID group to change/ add SSDs, change SSD RAID type or SSD type (SATA, M.2, QM2) whenever needed to enhance storage auto-tiering efficiency.
- Supports Self-encrypting Drives (SED): Self-encrypting drives (e.g. Samsung 860 EVO and Samsung 970 EVO SSD) allow users to leverage built-in encryption functions without installing extra software or using NAS system resources to encrypt data for an extra layer of data protection.
