ZFS-based QuTS hero ensures performance and data integrity
Faced with the explosive growth of data, VDI popularity, increasing SSD adoption, 8K media, and other disruptive IT trends, modern businesses need dependable storage systems to meet future demands. QNAP's new "QuTS hero" operating system combines the app-based QTS with a 128-bit ZFS file system to provide flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance to meet the needs of business-critical applications.
Inline Data Deduplication
Inline deduplication is block-based and is carried out before data is written to storage. This greatly optimizes storage usage while significantly decreasing storage capacity requirements.
Inline Compression
Compress data to reduce storage I/O workloads for improved performance. In VDI, deduplicated virtual desktops are easily cached to achieve optimal virtual desktop performance.
Inline Compaction
Especially helpful for increasing SSD storage efficiency when highly-repetitive data or massive small files (e.g. transaction logs of banks or e-commerce) are generated. It delivers higher cost efficiency for all-flash storage systems.
Self-Healing ensures data integrity and reliability
Data integrity is key to the reliability of applications and databases. As SSD adoption grows, businesses will encounter a greater risk of data loss as it is difficult to recover data from a dead SSD. Designed with a focus on data integrity, ZFS uses end-to-end checksums to detect and correct silent data corruption caused by hardware defects, bugs in firmware or metadata errors. If an integrity violation is detected, ZFS automatically repairs the damage using data from another mirror before the data is passed to applications. QuTS hero is also WORM (Write Once, Read Many Times) compliant to ensure that data, once written, cannot be modified.
Robust data protection and flexible capacity utilization with RAID Z
QuTS hero supports conventional RAID configurations (RAID 0 (Striped), RAID 1 (Mirror), RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60) and adds support of RAID Triple Parity for protecting against three-disk failures and Triple Mirror for an identical copy of data stored on three disks. Designed to deal with petabytes of data, RAID Z demonstrates an outstanding tool for creating ready-to-use high-capacity RAID in a matter of seconds.
Multi-level cache technology with both read and write boosts performance
ZFS simultaneously supports the main memory read cache (L1 ARC), SSD second-level read cache (L2 ARC), and ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) for synchronous transactions. The L1 ARC works with the L2 ARC to minimize hard drive access requirements while boosting read performance. The ZIL is useful for applications with large synchronous random write workloads (such as databases), as data will be written to the ZIL first and then written to storage, helping to decrease latency and improve write performance.
Near-limitless, instant snapshots bring you peace of mind
Supports up to 65,535 snapshots for iSCSI LUN and shared folders (if 1 snapshot is created every hour, 24 snapshots per day, then up to 7 years of snapshots can be created without needing to delete any!). Copy-on-write technology makes snapshot creation almost instantaneous without affecting ongoing data writing.
Pool over-provisioning ensures write performance
With Pool Over-provisioning, space can be flexibly reserved in a storage pool to allow new data to be written into a complete block even if the pool is almost full, thus improving the performance of fragmented pools. For write-intensive workloads and performance-demanding applications (such as SQL transaction logs, backups, surveillance, and medical videos) you can set a higher pool over-provisioning to attain higher write performance. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Excellent video! Please continue to provide detailed instructions and best practices for the QuTS hero operating system.
Great job. subscribed
Hello! Thank you for the well explained and detailed video about setting QuTS Hero. I just bought my first Qnap product which is TS-873a and I'm waiting to arrive 8x Seagate Exos X20 18Tb, 2x32Gb of Ram at 2666mhz and 2x Firecuda 530 1tb each for cache acceleration. I'm spending here more money than I have but my goal is as a small production company to take the full advantage of 10Gbe so as two editors here to be able to do video editing from 2x Macs simultaneously. Firecuda 530 is overkill for a pci-ex 3 x1 slot but I bought them cause of the High IOPS and performance you get. I want to be as sure as possible than I will full 10Gbe from Exos and with the help of the NVMEs. Ofc I will use QuTS Hero with a Raid10 in mind for the EXOS HDDs and the 2x additional NVMEs for cache acceleration. In TS-873a I have 2 pci-ex gen3 x4 which I will connect a dual 10Gbe Qnap QXG-10G2TB and in the second slot a Qnap QM2-2P-344 QM2 to install another 2x NVMEs 2Tb each as Raid0 to be able to video edit raw files in 4k/6k/8k resolution. Is it going to work? What do you think? My only experience with NAS is that I have an old WD mycloud ex2 ultra for 4-5 years and a Lacie 2BiG DAS... so it's the first time to invest so much money on a nas server and I would like to do it the right way! Please let me know your thinking about all of this! Thanks in advance!
@@QNAPUK Yes I will use Raid10 using QuTS Hero for the Exos HDDs. Shall I use the 2x Firecuda 530 1tb each for cache acceleration and then buy the expansion card Qnap QM2-2P-344 to install another 2x NVMEs for Raid0 this time. What do you think? do you have any suggestions to share regarding my setup? Also Do i have to concern about heating from 2x NVMEs near the Qnap QXG-10G2TB?
Thanks for the explanation...
I'm about to get a new NAS and don't know which operating system to choose...
I'm gonna use it for both personal and professional use as a photographer...
Personal use would be for mobile phone qumagie uploads, professional use is going to be for storage and editing raw files through the network...
I've read that quts hero requires more from the hardware than qts, what are the real benefits for my quind of usage?
i assume turning compression off will speed the drive access way faster?
With the upcoming release of QuTS Hero on the TVS-x72XT series, would you recommend a ram upgrade for the TVS-472XT (I believe the maximum 32Gb?)
would love to see GPU transcoding in plex with the TVS-H1288X :)
Is it there a way to transfer QTS Domain Controller config to QuTS Hero? I have an old TS-870 and looking to replace it.
Hi! Thanks for great videos. Quick question from a new user. I have a setup with 2 x NVMEs + 4 x SSDs. I still straggle the concept of cache usage in a setup (Primary usage light weight VMs and containers, light weight data storage, and photo storage and editing) like mine. Do I really need a cache? Would it be better approach like using NVMEs (Considering having enough space) as a System Volume and SSDs as data storage volume as you showed in the video?
So, if I have 2 x 1TB SSD (Samsung 980 Pro M.2 Internal) and 6x8TB HDD WD Red Pro. Would I be better to get two (slower) SSD's for the System Drive (e.g SATA 6Gbps) and then configure the faster M.2's as Cache Acceleration. Or, ignore the 2 SSD Sata's and put all on the M.2's ? I'm guessing you can't configure the Cache Acceleration (read and pseudo write) on the same M2's as system drive ? System is QNAP TS-h886 with 16GB RAM. As there's no QTier then I can't mix the types in 1 pool and take any advantage ? System is used primarily for backups (large writes) and streaming music (large FLAC's but these are "chunked" anyway) but I do want to maximise read/write from the HDD's should I need to copy in large ISO to/from the system.
Thanks for the very helpful video! Is there any way I can book an expert to help me setup my qnap NAS?
What is the best practice when it comes to NVME and SSD for system storage pool vs. cache? NVME will have the highest data transfer rate so should I be using it for system storage pool so system files will be at its max performance. Or alternatively should I be using NVME for SSD Cache and have regular 2.5in SSD in RAID to be the system storage pool so that all input/output will go through NVME?
Excellent. That’s what I did with 1TB Raid 1 NVME. I have done some self speed testing via 10G network AJA and file upload/download. I noticed gain with SSD cache was only at read of bigger file HDD drive and of course for only second/cached read. I wonder ZFS simply is efficient enough that L1ARC acts as cache whenever it can and I just don’t see ssd cache benefit here. I am still waiting for memory upgrades so it maybe more apparent once I upgrade. Radon read/writes I think should benefit but not probably for my personal use here.
Thanks again
@@QNAPUK I see. I am actually doing some write up for my blog write now about this whole experience. One thing I noticed is write speed just caps at 700+ MB/s whether its RAID 10 four HDD or NVMe drives with or without SSD cache. I suspect ZFS has intrinsic write requirement/resource to cap the speed. Read speed reached essential full 10 Gbps speed. Assuming this is correct analysis, I at least see using NVMe as system drive makes more sense than Cache because even with SSD Cache gain for random read/write were there, I still believe the max #'s will be 1000 MB/s read & 700 MB/s write on 10 Gbps connection. So I surmise having ultra speed NVMe as Cache won't give me anything extra over SATA SSD Cache. Where as, using NVMe as system drive will at least give boot up time advantage.
Thank you for this Training. Unfortunately I am still in the decision Phase should I install QTS or QuTS Hero as privat user of a NAS (lets say the NAS support QuTS Hero). I want to use the NAS for Video editing. I there any help, which could help for making this decision? I just want to avoid first go with for example QTS and probably one year later I need to setup the whole system again for migration to QuTS Hero...
@@QNAPUK Thank you
I just received my TVS-H1288X and outfitted it with 2x2TB NVMe drives, 4x2TB SATA SSDs, and 7x14TB WD Red Pro SATA drives with a hot spare in the 8th slot. I had planned on setting up one master storage pool with three separate RAIDs and letting Qtier handle moving files from cold to hot storage automatically across the three tiers. Based on your previous comments, Qtier is not supported in ZFS.
My question is, is there a way to replicate the automation of Qtier in ZFS or would I need to switch operating systems? Conversely, if ZFS does not support Qtier, what is the recommended setup across the three storage tiers to obtain the same performance of a Qtier system? I primarly work with large 4K/8K video files and large Adobe Lightroom catalogs.
I suppose the million dollar question is do the benefits of ZFS outweigh the tedious process of constantly having to manually copy files from cold storage to hot storage and vice versa?
@@QNAPUK thanks for the quick reply! So are you recommending I go with ZFS and just use SSD caching and max out the RAM instead of Qtier on QTS? Thanks again!
Hi.... for same tons of videos and photos and streaming with the qnap tvs-h674 sharing only with 5 clients, what do you think is the best option, Qts or Quts hero? Thanks
Thanks, brother for your thoughts, I think you are correct, honestly, I got my system about 3 months ago and I did install the Quts hero because of the deduplication thing but I was noticing duplicates of photos and some videos even when I have all the files set to dedup. I did ask you because I did clean my system from all the videos and photos to start a manual upload of big quantity of TBs we have stored, I was thinking this "deduplication tool " will help me avoid duplicates, thanks for your time, do you have any knowledge of an app capable to do this? I know my Samsung phone has this capability, it doesn't remove the files automatically but always shows me if is there any double or triple files to remove those extra copies. Now I think I will install the other os for easier use, Hero is being ok for me but this deduplication is not useful for me. If you know any app maybe you have a video I can watch it will be very helpful. Thanks again and GOD BLESS YOU!!!
I did install mine just using Hdds, but now I will install everything again, I just bought a Wd 4tb ssd to install the Quts Hero, then I have 5 4tbs Wd red pro for storage and 2 Nvme 1 tb each, (Samsung 880 pro) that I will use for cache R/W and 64gb Ram, also I did install the Nvidia Quadro P2000 (amazing), let me know if I'm ok using the 4tbs WD red ssd for the OS? Thanks awesome video, 👌
@QNAP UK Lol.... I just watched your video using the Qts with Qtier.... it is great too. Thanks for the information.
I just bought the TVS-H1288X (same model you're showing) and when setting it up for the fist time, my QTS/Hero login goes directly to the admin login page. admin for the username and the MAC address for the password do not work (changing LAN ports does not change the MAC address). Any advice? Where is the default password, and we did mine not go to the setup screen as you showed on first login via Qfinder?
@@QNAPUK Worked perfect, many thanks for the extremely fast reply!
So could you say that the 2 nvme in raid 1 assigned as system volume, eliminates the need for cache disc as system volume is where the copy process occurs?
@@QNAPUK In a TS473A 4 bay/2nvme scenario, I wonder if its dumb to deploy 2 nvme in raid 1 as read/write cache, 3 mechanic hdds as mass storage, 1 ssd as system drive. The reason I am bringing this issue is I would like to know if I wont use loose cache drives and storage raid setup in case of the system ssd failure and it would be just as easy as replacing the ssd and initializing the drive will automatically sense the rest of cache nvmes and hdds setup?
@@QNAPUK Would it be "down" or "dead" though? If a failure only requires a quick re-install or backup onto a new SSD I would be ok with that. In my scenario downtime is acceptable, data loss is not.
Hi, I know this is an old video but on some videos I have seen they have an ARC RAM Usage setting under global settings. I don't seem to have that option even though I have 16GB Ram, I know that option is disabled on systems with only 8GB. Can you advise where I might be going wrong... Thanks.
Which NAS are you running and which OS is installed on it if you have an option between QTS and QuTS hero?
Hi, can i add a snapshot after creating raid 1 or would it erase all data? It seems a handy tool incase of ransomware
@@QNAPUK oh, I checked, i have static volume on raid 1, all bets off i guess, thanks for your help!
@@QNAPUK I back up a few important folders and settings to usb drive but now I'm thinking i should back up the server so i can then restore from there?
Thanks again for the advice!
Is ok If I use just a single NVME SSD for my system drive vs RAID 1? I purchased the 510 IronWolf same shown.
@@QNAPUKCan I restore from a snapshot/backup if the SSD looses the system volume?
@@QNAPUK I guess my thought was the IronWolf SSD is less likely to have an issue vs a mechanical.
@@QNAPUK Ok, glad the control panel allows a config backup
Your video created a public, web and homes share on storage pool 1. When I created my system pool, I only got a public share. I know it's a couple years later and several versions later, but why would this be?? What prompted the two latter shares creation??
We are constantly improving and evolving, we only create the "web" share now if you enable the Web Server in control panel. Homes was created as the default was to create a home folder for each user, now this is disabled by default but you can enable it again in the Control Panel->Users area under Advanced Settings.
@@QNAPUK Appreciate the followup!
You should have stressed that dedupe requires a lot of extra memory. TS-h886 16GB is not enough (I know you've covered this specific model in a dedicated video but you should mention it here as well I think). By the way (at least in this model) when you upgrade memory you have to get all 4 banks with the same size despite the manual only recommending. I've learned these lessons the "hard way". :P
How much overhead you get when activating compression?
Another question I have is if I have a working Qnap and then add nvme storage is there a way to move the system there?
Can cache and system drive go on the same ssd?
No, the SSD cache must be on dedicated drives that cannot be used for anything else.
Do you need to buy a license to use QTS/QuTS on QNAP NAS (ie: TS-1283XU-RP)?
No, if the NAS supports QuTS hero then it is all embedded, nothing to purchase. Unfortunately the TS-1283XU-RP does not support QuTS hero, only the TS-h1283XU-RP does (small "h" signifies hero compatible).
@@QNAPUK Thank you very much for the very useful information!
Why is there no Qtier on QuTS Hero? Makes having NVMEs, SSDs and HDDs in one system basically useless!
Depending on the datatype you might see some benefits from SSD based L2ARC or ZIL caches on ZFS though. I found ZFS to typically be *faster* than many other solutions in a number of different configs.
Does it make it less useful if you only want to dump them all into a single pool/volume? yes.
But most people/corps don't setup their NAS/DAS units like that either.
