40+ New Functions and 370+ Improvements 

TOS 6 introduces over 40 new functions while improving over 370 details, providing TNAS users with an unparalleled upgrade experience. From the new user interface to enhanced data security, every aspect has been carefully refined to ensure users have the most advanced solutions to storage and administration.

More User-Friendly, More Secure

TOS 6’s newly designed interface and intelligent navigation make users’ tasks effortless to perform, while the fully upgraded data access mechanism ensures their data remains reliably stored and always secure. In short, TOS 6 gives users the ideal experience of convenience in use with confidence in data security.

The Latest Linux Kernel

The kernel of TOS 6 is based on the latest Linux Kernel 6.1 LTS. This kernel version introduces MG-LRU to enhance system performance, significantly improves the performance of the btrfs file system, adds erofs for cross-file system data sharing, includes extensive repairs and optimizations for EXT 4 file systems, prepares for support of the Intel「Meteor Lake」5nm chip, merges the Kernel Memory Sanitizer (KMSAN) for enhanced memory management, achieves faster Intel memory error decoding via the EDAC driver, introduces support for the Maple Tree data structure, and implements new security controls on the ability to create user namespaces.

Significantly Improve System Response Speed

The system is no longer automatically installed on every disk, but users are now allowed to specify the installation location. Users can select up to two hard drives or SSDs as system disks, enabling them to install the system on faster storage devices, thereby enhancing system response speed, application data loading speed, and data commit efficiency.

New Desktop, Focused and Simple

The new desktop design reduces the distraction from complex pages, allowing users to focus more on the contents. Desktop icons were removed to create a clean background free from clutter, with all applications now displayed in the navigation bar for easier switching between menus.

A New “Start”

A new “Start” shortcut menu has been introduced for quick access to recently used apps and enables all installed apps to be viewed with a single click. It supports searching installed apps and setting items from the control panel. It also integrates the user's Personalized Settings and Shutdown/Restart buttons, making the operation more convenient to access.

Dynamic Interactive Experience

TOS 6 takes the interactive experience to a new level by introducing animation effects for most pages that heightens their visual appeal. Users can now focus more on apage’s key contents, thereby enhancing the interactive experience.

New System Dashboard

TOS 6 brings an improved system dashboard with a new layout that provides users with a high degree of custom functionality. Users can freely customize what content modules are displayed and rearrange their order simply by dragging. This makes the dashboard much more attuned to users’ habits.

Personalized Visual Style

TOS 6 introduces a global Night Mode with a choice of accent colors that helps to reduce eye strain. By changing the accent colors of menus, buttons, prompts, and icons, users can customize TOS pages to reflect the visual style that best expresses their personality.

Doubled the Convenience of Operation 

TOS 6 Control Panel has hundreds of Settings, allowing users to directly skip to other Settings in the control panel without leaving the page; Combined with the functionality to quickly find settings with a Keyword Search, the TOS 6 control panel is now twice as convenient.

Ten Times Faster Access

TOS 6 allows users to create Shortcuts, enabling them to customize the name, access path and port simply with a right-click on the desktop. To access multiple applications or containers, for example, all that is required is one click on a previously created shortcut. Operations that used to take ten seconds can now be completed in one!

The Industry’s First NAS File Management Tab

TOS 6 comes with the industry’s first NAS file management tab.  By using the tab mode, users can easily move, copy and paste files between different file directories without the need to open a new page, greatly increasing the convenience and user-friendliness of file management.

More Convenient Photo Viewing

TOS’s File Manager displays photos as thumbnails for quick viewing and finding. Thumbnail size can be switched to large or small to match the level of detail users need.

More Network Ports, More Speed

TOS 6 supports the latest SMB Multichannel function. When combined with the Network Aggregation, SMB Multichannel can use the total bandwidth of the aggregated network to increase the SMB file transmission speed by N times based on the number of network ports in use. (Applicable only to models with multiple network ports, and N network ports means N times the speed.)

13 Advanced Permissions Management Strategies

TOS 6 brings an impressive leap in the management of permissions. Except for the traditional Deny, Read Only, and Read/Write permissions, TOS 6 introduces advanced ACL permission management, allowing administrators to customize access to shared folders as needed. In addition, users’ administrative, read, and write permissions for folders are subdivided into 13 types, enabling access control to be refined for more complex file requirements in the enterprise environment.

Security Level Enhanced by 500%

SPC (Security and Privacy Control) is the latest unique security control function developed by TerraMaster. The access permissions of TOS’s executable programs and applications to network and storage spaces are strictly controlled, requiring user authorization before use.This prevents the TOS system from being attacked by ransom-ware or malicious hacker code, making TOS 6 five times more secure than the previous system.

Enhanced Data Security

TOS 6 has made great strides in data security. Almost all applications run with configured user accounts, instead of as root or administrator. In addition, TOS 6.0 introduces a new access administration module for system users. Administrators can make system users' access permissions to storage space specific to anapplication, effectively preventing certain applications from threatening the entire storage space if hacked.

Comprehensive Monitoring of Hard Disk Integrity

With a newly developed disk health monitoring function, TOS 6 continuously monitors key health indicators of hard disks and SSDs. On detection of any risk, the system sends an alarm message to the Message Center and notifies the administrator by email. Timely action can then be taken to replace the faulty hard disk and prevent data loss.

Independent Choice of System Disk

TOS 6 gives users full control over the system’s installation location. The Startup/Shutdown and response speed of the device can be improved simply by installing the system on a faster hard disk. (Users can assign a maximum of two system disks).

Hot Swapping of Data Disk Avoids Formatting

With TOS 6’s excellent hard disk recognition function, neither Startup/Shutdown nor hard disk reformatting is needed.  Users can hot swap the hard disk of any supported file system at any time, and directly access data in that hard disk without reformatting. This functionality is supported across multiple file systems, including EXT3, EXT4, BTRFS, NTFS, FAT32, exFAT and HFS+. (Note: There should be at least one system disk in the TOS system).

Local Mounting and Automatic Synchronization of Cloud Drive

TOS 6 not only supports mounting remote folders, but also enables users to mount cloud drive directories to TNAS local storage, making them available much like local directories. Files accessed in the mount directory are automatically synchronized to the remote cloud drive directory. Most mainstream cloud drives, including WebDAV, are currently supported.

Hyper-Lock WORM Dual Modes

TOS 6 adds Compliance and Enterprise Modes to the Hyper-Lock WORM file system to give users greater flexibility. In Compliance mode, once data is written, it cannot be modified or deleted to meet regulatory requirements for storing sensitive data. In Enterprise mode, it allows enterprise IT administrators to customize how long the data is locked.  

TRAID+: Elevating Disk Array Management

With features like automatic disk space aggregation, redundancy protection against hard drive failures, and seamless expansion, TRAID has become a go-to tool for users.Now, with TOS 6, TerraMaster unveils TRAID+'s upgraded version, offering an elevated standard of data storage security. While traditional TRAID ensures failure redundancy for one hard drive, TRAID+ doubles this safeguard to cover two drives, significantly bolstering data security.
