Not a Synology..

Reviewed in Australia on 27 June 2020

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

Hit and miss, I'm new to NAS's and maybe some of the blame on me.
Set a timer on NAS, turn off at midnight which it did. I turned it on shortly after. 1 of my USB drives (from them) failed to be available. 1 of my drives lost half it's data... somewhere...

Update. Apparently (God knows where written) this device should not be used with anything with a USB hub built in that included the two I brought. D5-300C and D2-310 are not compatible.

After buying a Synology my advice is to go Synology.

Had 2 x Crucial MX500 1TB SSD in it for awhile. Failed SMART and it's system popups. Tested on PC, fine.

Great onboarding experience overall (diminished by non-existent guide for Linux & ChromeOS)

Reviewed in Australia on 29 October 2020

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

As a newbie to things NAS, my onboarding experience has been great overall. Assembling the hardware was a breeze. Next, was setting up the operating system (TOS 4.31) which was as handled by a very user-friendly Installation wizard.

The single let down for me was not finding any information for my specific situation. My primary access to the world wide web is through my mobile phone along with a chromebook, plus a Linux laptop for more complex tasks. As Terramaster used Linux for their operating system TOS, it's not really unreasonable to expect that there would be instructions relevant to Linux users, isn't it? Well, I wasted quite a bit of time looking for how to set up TOS using a Linux machine only to find everything is about Windows and Macs !!!

I had to use my imagination to get the job done. How? I saw from the guide that access to TOS was via the local IP address and I thought I would try using the same (I fired up my router admin page and looked up the TNAS IP address) on my browser to see what happens. Voila! that got me to the Installation Wizard!!! I didn't even need the apps that Terramaster was asking Windows and Mac users to download!

Terramaster would really score positive points if they included this information in their support page as well as their guides.

Continuously trying to connect to interent

Reviewed in Australia on 9 September 2021

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

I brought this a few weeks ago with the intention of using as a network storage within my home network. After configuring this and place in my local area network, i started noticing the NAS keeps on accessing the hard disk even without any computer is connected. Further, i found that it keeps on trying to establish connections to various countries (China, Hong Kong and a number of others). Even after removing DNS settings, it kept on connecting to outside world. Then i had to block it by using a firewall rule. However, i still hear the hard disk keep on spinning (i mean accessed) even though non of us accessing it. This makes me nervous on keeping it ON and putting any sensitive data into it.

Very disappointed. I would like to get a full refund including cost for returning this back.

You need new HDD for it to boot up

Reviewed in Australia on 9 February 2021

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

NAS is new to me. I used 2 of my old 3.5" HDD (NTFS with data inside). I was expecting when I turned it on, I can see data on the old HDD (as a network drive). I turned it on and it sounds like running. I followed every step on the terra master website, my laptop could not find TNAS device (see photo). It took me one hour to find out why. I found that it did NOT bootup. I took out the 2 HDD, it boot up and my laptop can find the TNAS (by using TNAS PC). Finally, while it is still on, I put an unwanted data hdd and let it format it. For the 2 old hdd with data on them, I can only use USB port to read them.

This unit is good value for money.

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

Good value for money.
After reading some reviews initially, I was surprised by how easy the setup was.
The TOS operating system is intuitive and has useful features and applications.
One thing to note is that you will most likely need to upgrade the RAM (2GB onboard - and one expansion slot), especially if you want to use it as a media server (i.e. use PLEX).
Online research on the max RAM upgrade for this unit is required.
So add the cost of the hdd's and additional RAM when you are budgeting for your NAS solution.

Secures my pictures and videos

Reviewed in Australia on 13 January 2021

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

This the perfect way to secure my pictures and videos on my local network. Reasonably easy to setup, once done all the files are easily shared to and played on all your local devices. I have not tried to set it up for access from the internet. I recommend this device, but make sure you use the correct hard disk drives as recommended.

i can not in good faith recommend this unit managed to set up the unit and shift data from my old nas but on giving it a restart (from scheduled power loss) it lost the raid setup and wiped all the data
yes its got a nice GUI and easy to use but the loss of data is not good at all

Upgraded from the 2 bay NAS to this 5 bay monster. Installation was easy and it created the RAID5 system without a hitch.
I now have it running my Plex server and running Time Machine backup for my MacBook Air

Excellent product

Reviewed in Canada on 29 April 2021

Verified Purchase

I wanted to make a Plex Media Server for 1080p content with the possibility to go RAID5.
I choose TerraMaster F5-221 over Synology models.
TerraMaster offered me the best quality price with an intel cpu (allowing me to transcode a little bit)
(PGS subtitles require transcoding)

The setup was easy and automaticly update their OS. Get a little bit trouble to understand what they call "share" are /mnt/md0/ and the file transfer with Windows did not work the first time with my laptop.
But after that, I'm really happy with the result.

Some people complain about the limited choice of apps, my answer is I don't want to pay 700$+.
I can do exactly what I expect to be able to do.

Quick and easy setup

Reviewed in Canada on 10 May 2021

Verified Purchase

I purchased this so that I could set up a NAS to install a media server for PLEX. Installation was quick and easy using the quick start guide included with the product, and it basically did everything for me except plug it and the hard drives in. I was able to install the PLEX media server software right from the NAS GUI interface, it couldn't have been easier.

Good NAS with alot of features for the technical-minded.

Reviewed in Canada on 29 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Overall, I really like the product. However, I could not get NFS to connect from my Linux client. Also, even though it is fairly easy to setup for a beginner, there are a lot of extra nice features that a non-techie would likely avoid as product documentation is rather thin.

updated review after 2 years

Reviewed in the United States on 9 July 2019

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

2021-03 Edit: At just under the end of the 2 year warranty, the system "bricked". Luckily I had a fresh backup of my data so nothing was lost. Terra-master support was unable to get the system working via remote support and replaced the unit quickly. I was not able to get my drive volumes to re-mount on the new server and had to re-format the drives and recover my data from backup. The new drive trays use three screws instead of four as noted below. The new machine's HDMI port is covered but it looks like the cover can be removed and the HDMI connector is behind it. FYI, the HDMI port and a USB keyboard can be connected to boot into the firmware if you ever need to change a default.

Original review starts here: This is my first Linux based NAS. I have used Windows Home Server for over 10 years so I need to learn more about Linux. My primary use is backup for Windows 10 PCs and file serving. I have also served photos and videos to a 4k smart TV but have not tried the live 4k transcoding yet.

The unit appears to be nicely made and sturdy. The drive trays require 4 screws to secure each drive but they supply the screwdriver and it only takes a few seconds. The trays lock into the bays securely and are hot swappable. The trays do not lock (only mentioned because my WHS key-locked the trays, a nice feature). The one large fan on the back is very quiet on the "smart" speed and medium speed. I have not tested high speed. I have mostly used medium which keeps the CPU and drives in the 32-35 Celsius range. The Smart speed raises temps into the 40's which is higher than I prefer.

The operating system, TOS installed reasonably fast and without issue. The BTRFS raid setup was automatic but took a couple of hours to complete the drive testing and raid 1 system setup (2 x 4tb WD Red Drives). The TOS homepage is viewable best in Chrome on the PC and Android devices. There have been some minor glitches for me when using Firefox. The homepage presents a Windows-like desktop with shortcuts for basic functions such as File System, Control Panel, Applications, etc.

One major difference between this NAS and WHS is PC backup. WHS is highly automated on the server which schedules and pulls the backup from every PC running on the network. This NAS requires each PC to be setup to use the server as a mapped destination for backups pushed from the PCs. It works well but requires setup at each PC. I don't run any Apple devices but believe that the included TimeMachine app will handle automatic backups for Apple.

I have needed technical support a couple of times and have had answers in a reasonable time through email and phone. Support phone calls need to be scheduled.

I was looking for a replacement for my dying WHS at a lower cost than Synology or QNAP. The Terramaster F2-221 saved me some money compared to those products and meets my current requirements well.

The F2-221 NAS is a great performer and easy to setup and use!

Reviewed in the United States on 6 April 2019

Colour Name: 2-bay, dual-core, 2GB DDR4Verified Purchase

I purchased this Network Attached Storage dual drive on on March 29, 2019 .
The unit came in a very substantial box with pre-cut foam inserts to protect the unit during shipping.
The unit was sealed in a plastic bag. Included was a smaller box with the power supply, 2 different sets of screws for mounting hard drives. The chrome screws for 3.5" drives and the black screws for 2.5" drives like SSD which apparently take a slightly differrent screw thread. Also included was a nice screwdriver and a Ethernet cable. Setting up the drive was easy. I just followed the instructions that came with it which said to download the TNAS-PC program from their web site to aid in the setup.
I initially started out with just 1 4TB Seagate Ironwolf RED NAS hard drive in it configured as a "Single" HDD which worked fine.
A week later I ordered a 2nd identical 4TB Seagate Ironwolf RED NAS hard drive. When it arrived I installed it into the 2nd available HDD slot.
The unit recognized the new drive. I was able to go into the control panel and re-configure the NAS to be a RAID 1 mirror image configuration. This keeps an identical copy of all the data from the 1st drive on the 2nd hard drive to provide some additional security from lost files.
I have had other NAS storage devices on my network but they were not stable or reliable. This unit is always there and is very intuitive on how to change things using the control panel. It has a variable speed fan that is super quiet.
Many applications are available to download onto the unit. Like PLEX for serving music and video media for one.
I also use this drive to record my security cameras when they detect motion. The FTP server feature that comes with this NAS is perfect for this.
I created a user account for the cameras to use and created a "shared folder" for the videos to be stored on.
I have each camera storing to their own folder so it is easy to locate the videos.
Setting up the FTP function in the camera was a little bit trickier but with a support call I got through it.
I am very pleased with this unit. It is a great value for the money and feel it is worth a 5 star rating.
