Hello! Yes, it's true that Mac doesn't come with a native iSCSI initiator. However, there are several third-party initiators available that you can use with your QNAP NAS.
One popular iSCSI initiator for Mac is the GlobalSAN iSCSI Initiator. It is a commercial software product that provides high-performance iSCSI connectivity from any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4 or later. It supports both iSCSI and iSCSI multipath, and is designed to work with a wide range of iSCSI targets, including QNAP NAS devices.
Another option is the ATTO Xtend SAN iSCSI initiator. It is a free iSCSI initiator that provides high-performance iSCSI connectivity for Mac OS X. It supports both iSCSI and iSCSI multipath, and is designed to work with a wide range of iSCSI targets, including QNAP NAS devices.
Both of these initiators are widely used and should work well with your QNAP NAS. However, it's always a good idea to check with the initiator vendor to ensure compatibility with your specific hardware and software configuration.
