"Warranty does not apply, if the warranty period is expired, the warranty label is broken or removed, the serial number label is missing or unrecognizable, the product has been modified or repaired by any unauthorized service center or personnel, the defect was subject to abuse, improper use not conforming to product manual instructions, or environment conditions more severe than those specified in the manual and specification. the defect was subject to Force Majeure, such as acts of God, flood, lightning, earthquake, war, vandalism, theft, brownouts or sags (damage due to low voltage disturbances)". Ref.: <https://www.qnap.com/en-in/support/con_show.php?cid=7> Also, on <https://download.qnap.com/Storage/TechnicalDocument/Storage/Enterprise%20NAS/ts-hx86/ts-hx86-ug-05-en-us.pdf> page 44: "You can revert to QuTS hero operating system anytime. For details, see QuTS hero user guide." So... Is it kind of optional? There is a Telegram TrueNAS user group with more than 700 users. I would definitely install TrueNAS over the Hero OS.
