Once again – this is Beta software and as such is not complete with all the finishing touches of the final product. Locate the file that you downloaded that contains the HBS 3 Beta.

Open up App Center and select install manually. Once the file has been downloaded – go ahead and login to the QTS dashboard. If you don’t know which version you need, there is a great document that QNAP maintains that will tell you. QNAP is running a contest and giving away prizes to reward lucky testers for feedback – details are on the site – We just need to click HBS 3 Beta link and download the appropriate version of the application onto your QNAP NAS running QTS 4.4.1. Once you decide to join the Beta Test – you will see the following dialogue: It’s about time we had something that was better than a SMART failure or bad sector count to tell us when a drive was about to pack it in. This function, once enabled, is claimed to be better able to spot potential problems with drives before they happen, minimize disruption and mitigate potential data loss. Why should this matter to me? At the end of May this year (2019) QNAP announced they would be partnering with ULINK Technology. Now that I have covered the stick, the carrot for the new QNAP disk failure prediction service is fantastic! The third party that QNAP is mentioning is a company called ULINK Technology inc. All the agreements are clearly listed on the website and this is good to help the developers to debug the product and services. Now before I get a bunch of angry emails about my tinfoil hat being too tight, I will say that in many cases the information that is collected by various companies and shared is NOT the same as sharing your file names and details. With beta software come new features – in addition to the new features – comes new services. The following guide will revolve around the new QNAP QTS 4.4.1 beta and the new HBS 3 beta. It installs as simply as a standard firmware update. Installation of QNAP beta software is generally simple Sign up, download and install. If you have made it this far I will assume that I didn’t scare you away and that you are ready to try some great new features. Your experience (Good or Bad) will help prevent others from experiencing a bad outcome in the final QTS or HBS build. Don’t load up beta software on your QNAP NAS box and complain to everyone when your box stops working. Developers want to know if your box stopped working though, this is where you get to provide feedback to the beta team and they work with you to solve the issues. Fair warning: beta software is never intended to be ready for “Production” – that said if you are a business user – beware, homelabbers – have fun!īeta software will allow you to try new features and allow developers to test fixes and configurations with a smaller group of guinea pigs test users. If you like to live dangerously you do so at your own risk.
