  • Faster NAS boot-up/shutdown: QTS 5.2 enhances startup and shutdown speeds by up to 30%.
  • AD domain login convenience: Following QNAP NAS integration with the domain service, domain users can effortlessly access the NAS using their domain credentials. Maintenant, users can log in swiftly by entering only their domain username, eliminating the necessity to input the AD domain name.
