This is my second Terramaster NAS, I was really impressed with my first box but needed more space for an additional drive. Setup is simple and easy, even for those of you that are not very technical, insert the drive and switch it on. Download, install and Run the PC software (TNAS PC) available from Terramasters website and follow the simple on screen instructions, you will be up and running in approx. 1 hour.Once you have setup the Terramaster, you will be able to logon via a web browser and manage all aspects of the setup from within the simple but effective web configuration page. I would recommend Seagate Ironwolf drives, the box recognises these and is able to monitor their health.My particular unit F5-420 has four network cards,you can configure these in to a bond creating a network connection up to 4000Mb/s. I have configured three in to the bond as shown in the picture and left one on a separate network for management. It is also possible to configure various disk arrays, JBOD, RAID and also to have an SSD cache to speed up data transfer.Data transfer rates vary, I was able to attain a steady 110Mb/s using my layer 3 managed switch and setting up the LCAP, transferring from a RAID5 array to a NVME drive in my PC and vice-versa for large files.There is a large amount of software available in the applications icon found on the desktop, see screenshot, sorry it’s small but there are a lot of apps and they are releasing more all the time, the essential ones are all there and it is comparable to the Synology DS range. The main application I utilise is the Multimedia Server, this allow you to share three folders, Music, Photos and Videos with all your DLNA devices. You can via the setting also restrict which devices have permission. There is also a plex install if you need it.There is also a TNAS app for both IOS and Android, this allows you to connect to you Terramaster and watch your videos, view your photos and listen to music on your IOS or Android Device.Overall the product I believe represents excellent value for money, Terramaster technical support, Gina has always been very helpful and any technical questions have been answered very quickly.I have deducted one star as there was only one network cable in the box, I would have liked four and an NVME slot would have been nice for caching.FinallyFor those of you upgrading from an older Terramaster, the upgrade is simple.1. Remove your drives keeping them in strict order2. Place drive in the correct order in new NAS, but DO NOT FULLY INSERT3. Power on new NAS box4. Wait until one single bleep is heard5. Quickly fully insert all drives (in my case I had 3 in a RAID array and 1 SSD)6. Wait until all HDD lights are green7. Run the PC TNAS software and find your NAS box8. Complete the Setup9. Logon and Enjoy.Hope that helps someone else.

Purchased this and very surprised at the features and quality for the price, it has its own OS, TOS which I have attached photos of, this is easy to use, has a GUI and runs Docker, Plex, iTunes server, AntiVirus, a host of services, a cloud option, a health app, all in all it is very easy to use and setup, installed 2 x 2TB SSD's which fit straight onto the cartridge chassis, no need for a fitting kit!TOS is easy to install, instructions were clear and easy to follow, I locked myself out of the OS as I forgot the password, support were very helpful in getting me in, quick response and called me back during their support hours which was very good, don't be put off the other review,in my opinion this is a great device, I have been in IT for a few years and for the price I paid I am very glad I purchased the F2-221.You can install containers using Docker and I have it set up to use NZBGET and this can connect to Newsgroups to use NZB files to get my media straight onto the NAS, no computer required, this is a great media server and works great with the Plex or Media app from Terramaster, stream straight to my Samsung TV with no encoding required, in full 4k with Atmos sound!!! It also has an iTunes server should you need it and you can use dual LAN connections also if needed to increase speed.There is a cloud and remote access option which I have not used, but it looks pretty simple.All in all I would recommend this and would have purchased the 5 bay version if I had the money :)

Pros:- Well built- A variety of apps available on the app store- TOS seems to be very stable- A variety of backup options (rsync)- Can stream 4k media to multiple devices- Very good value for money- Can upgrade the ram making it future proof- Packaged very well (comes with screws for the hard drives and a screw driver)Cons:- Cannot lock hard drive trays- Hard drive trays are made of plastic, would prefer metal like the case of the unitOverall Terramaster have created a very versatile and powerful home NAS. As they have updated their OS (from TOS 3 to TOS 4) I think it’s become even better!I have been very happy with my F4-220 (purchased in April 2018) and as I wanted something a bit more powerful,I ended up getting the F4-421 and I haven’t looked back.This device has the same specs as a Synology ds918+ but for a fraction of the price, it’s definitely worth considering if you're in the market for a new NAS.

I've used Terramaster before, F2-220 and F4-220, and was satisfied with the products and ease of use.I've just purchased an F5-221 to replace my ageing QNAP NAS because it no longer gets PLEX updates and therefore cannot provide the service I require.I had an issue with the new F5-221 just purchased. I logged onto this machine and File Manager did not respond.I was using the default Internet Explorer V11.I contacted Terramaster support via email and they responded in 13 hours (Time zones factor I guess). They requested certain information, which I supplied, and they recommended that I use Google Chrome or FireFox. I used Google Chrome and that worked successfully.I simply never thought that the browser might be the problem. DOH!Anyway, I am VERY satisfied with the response and help that Terramaster Support provided and I recommend them.

I purchased this to use between a couple of PC's and it is excellent, I increased the RAM from 2gb to 4gb with an easy fit TERRAMASTER 2GB DDR3 RAM module. Fantastic packaging, solid construction and super simple to get up and running. I fitted 2 x Toshiba N300 8TB and 2 x Seagate 4 TB IronWolf drives and set them up both as RAID 1 plus I stuck in a 4tb Samsung SSD in the 5th bay. I will say that mine can be pretty noisy when the drives are chirpping away which the do even with no PC accessing them 80% of the time but the great thing with Ethernet is you can place it anywhere so it doesn't have to be right next to you, you can even add a wireless usb stick and access it over wi-fi.It's much faster than any 3.1 USB hard drive I have attached directly to my PC and easily streams 4k 60 fps on both machines. I love it and will buy more.

I’ve had this product running 24/7 for a few months now and it’s been fantastic. I use it as a music server with Plex, a video and photo server and as a game server. It can run a game and stream music to multiple devices at the same time without breaking a sweat.It is a little on the noisy side which whilst it isn’t an issue for me as I have a dedicated network cupboard it could be if it was placed in an occupied room.It isn’t the easiest to set up but there’s plenty of help online. I have it loaded with two 3TB Western Digital red drives and it’s configured in RAID 1Overall I’d definitely recommend this NAS box.

Relatively easy to set up. Rather annoying that the files supplied and available on line will not properly stream video - a simple fix corrects the problem but the correct files are only available through a link obtained the Terra-Master technical support.The installed CPU is fairly basic so loading a few TB of material takes many many hours; for a home NAS this is OK in my opinion since it needs to be done only once and camn be left running in the background

Super easy to set up. Installed 4 x tosh n300 6tb running raid 10 to use as a server. Not worked out what to do with the 5th slot!. Plex works well. I have a separate dedicated 8tb backup drive as using raid in this is not technically a back up solution. .certain raid configs give you some redundancy. I am just being over cautios i gues as i nearly lost a lifetime of photos.
