Cannot run Container Station from External USB SSD so will sell this unit and replace with QNAP TS-431P3-2G
- Add External USB3 SSD
- Install Container Station
- Install container App Node.JS
- Expected to run from above external SSD, if thats not possible will upgrade to QNAP TS-431P3-4G and mount SSD internally
202107 Added Seagate IronWolf Pro 18TB
so now 2 x Raid 1 (Mirrored) drives
- Added storage volume for full 18TB (16.37TB formatted)Had noticed previously that first Thick volume added defaults to system vol so started again and added 3 THICK volumes:
- SystemDefault 97.41 (After I selected 100GB)
- CompanyData 47GB (After I selected 50GB)
- DataVol1 = remainder 15.38TB
- I also notice the Storage pool has 210GB reserved, regretfully I can’t remember if I selected an option for that (I’m fairly sure it wasn’t a choice)
- Allowed a firmware update then turned Auto update off

Preparation:
- Installed single new Seagate IronWolf Pro 18TB
- Note: ’18TB’ = 16.37TB formatted,
Initial setup:
- Installed latest QFinder Pro
- Powered on TS-230
- QFinder found and started popped up Smart install in a browser window which I accepted
- Went away and came back to a Wonky broken admin (overlaid page elements, no option to proceed) at which time I realised it had defaulted to Microsoft Edge, there was no way to proceed with any further setup options so not sure what would have been offered here
- Tried via QFinder and homepage (now using Chrome) to log into device but password is not admin/admin, so did 15 second hard reset
- Password still not admin/admin
- On homepage clicked ‘Forgot admin password’ and it tells me default pwd is the Mac address al[hanumerics only (all caps)
- Ok so that worked..
After logging in to Homepage:
- Asked if wanted to share Disk usage data with QNAP, conditions of which said QNAP owns my data so NO
- Presented with overview of Storage & Snapshots
- Added usual userid as Aministrator
- Changed IP to 192.168.2.6
- Server name to TS-230
