I've moved from Windoze to Linux and I have a QNAP TR-004, which is set up as RAID5 and accessible through USB-C on Windows without issue. It was originally set up under Windows.
I would like to access the files using Ubuntu, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive. I do believe it was most likely formatted as NTFS. When I get access to a windows machine I will confirm.
Providing all the info I have.
I am running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I can see the unit when I plug it in (Device 13).

A new device shows up as /dev/sda
ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda
I don't see any partitions when using lsblk, but it is around 6TB of data
sudo lsblk

and just for fun, I did try mounting using /dev/sda, sda1, sda2 - which doesn't work
sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/qnap
mount: /mnt/qnap: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda2 /mnt/qnap
mount: /mnt/qnap: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist.
