Not a Synology..

Reviewed in Australia on 27 June 2020

Colour: 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: 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.

Secures my pictures and videos

Reviewed in Australia on 13 January 2021

Colour: 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.

Reviewed in the United States on 9 July 2019

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

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: 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.

Great performance, world class service.

Reviewed in the United States on 26 July 2019

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

Purchased this NAS to ease the pain of sharing files between workstations on a cross-platform network between Mac's and PCs. The packaging was up to par- meaning everything one might expect from bigger peripheral manufacturers came from a (presumably) small company, the likes I've never heard of until now.

The brushed aluminum housing looks great, and while the drive housing and chassis are plastic, the unit is well designed, feels solid and I'll appreciate the lighter weight whenever I have to travel with it. The UX reminds me of a Linux interface, but makes sense in all the ways that you need it to, and comes with a great help file.

I was able to connect via my mac in less than 3 minutes- Windows 10 was another matter entirely. It seems my current build has security implementations that cannot be bypassed even after diving into regedit, but the tech support person responded right away and sent me a link to a legacy version that made it possible to map in Windows 10

So far so good, tech support is much better than most, in my opinion. My knowledge of TCP/IP is just enough to be dangerous, and Terra Master's support system steered me clear away from any major mishaps.

Transfer speeds are as advertized.

Constantly drops off of the network! Built-in or easily hacked xmrig: crypto CPU miner

Reviewed in the United States on 5 May 2019

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

I agree with the other reviewers. After about a month, the CPU showed 100% usage. xmrig was using all of that CPU power, 100% to use MY NAS drive for other peoples crypto mining. I contacted Amazon which put me in touch with Terramaster via the phone. There was a bit of a language barrier in the verbal and email coding exchanges which made it difficult to resolve the issue. I used a very long password, but it seems someone or bot was able to add the crypto software. Maybe xmrig was there to begin with. Either way, it is worrisome. The drive are erased when changing out any drive, so if you are running it RAID 0 you will lose everything if a drive fails.

An excellent media server and storage unit

Reviewed in the United States on 29 July 2019

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

I recently purchased the F2-221 as an upgrade from my F2-220 which I purchased in September of 2017. That unit was working great, but the increased read and write speed was particularly appealing. It arrived in a box similar to the f2-220 which was easy to open and very easy to set up, especially with the online instructions. As I was using my previous hard drives I didn't even need to reformat. I also transferred the TerraMaster 2GB RAM Stick Memory Card to the F2-221 with relative ease. The box is small, light and quite elegant, not to mention quiet.
The primary purpose of my F2-221 is as a music and video server, so my primary app for that is PLEX. Streaming to my PS3 or Fire TV Cube is a breeze, though the controls on the PS3 tend to lag after a few songs and both have trouble decoding some multichannel files. Playing music through my browser both at home and away is far more reliable. The web app makes accessing files away from home quite easy though the design could use some improvement, particularly in the file browser which doesn't allow sorting by date. The mobile app is ok but has the same drawback in term of sorting files (also not allowing to sort by name).
Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and because I had a positive experience dealing with the Terra-Master support team in the past I suspect I'll be a continuing customer of theirs.
