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,

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,

I have had this box running for the last 12 hours and was up and running within a couple of minutes. I have configured it to run multiple volumes within an 8tb storage pool for a variety of applications such as Plex (this works really well with Plex, iTunes, Hyper-V (iSCSI Storage) and a pi hole (oddly to act as my dhcp server).What I like about the product is that although it has a limited feature set (yet excellent value hardware specification) it does an excellent job and is stable and relatively intuitive. What I would like to see is some of the more advance features that their rivals do well, however,

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'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 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.

Being a relative novice when it comes to NAS drives I spent sometime researching which one would suit me. I settled on this Terramaster F2-421 and I'm not disappointed. The main functions I required was something to run Plex and something to give reliable data storage capabilities, this device does that effortlessly.In the six months I've had my drive I can't pretend that everything has gone without a hitch, but the minor trouble I have had has been sorted out with speed and professionalism by Terramaster's Technical Support (In particular Lingo & Gina).In summary I would certainly recommend the Terramaster F2-421 - 5 stars!

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.

In the past i have used other Terramaster NAS units and using the F2-221 shows that Terramaster is improving their devices. One of the things that i have loved to see is that the app store is getting more and more aps and that will give us the option to do more with the same hardware.Was easy to setup, silent and easy to use. Hopefully the video is helpful.

May not be as refind as some, but it is a very well made item and does the job well. Easy to set up although I did need some assistance from Terra techies to clarify rather than setup itself. This was only via email, but they did get back to me quickly. Fan is a bit noisy at times and I did expand the memory. Over all a good product.

I love this nas drive. The interface is nice and slick and easy to navigate. The system is quick and handles everything I throw at it. I had slight issue with app store after an upgrade and tech support were just amazing. They have kept me informed throughout the fix. Terramaster are the best don't pay more for no gain.

The F2-221 NAS 2bay Cloud Storage Intel Dual-Core bought couples of months ago is still rocking as if it was purchased today. It is an absolute good value for money and ideal for family cloud storage. Its a must-have for all the tech geeks out there. Highly recommended!

I was sceptical but it’s actually pretty awesome. You get a BitTorrent client and a Plex media server. It’s easy to set up and use ?
