I set mine in Raid 0 mode. I wanted to use all of the space available on the two hard drives. For those who want redundancy, you can use a different Raid configuration, such as mirroring, to automatically save your data and then a copy on the second hard drive. Basically, with redundancy, you save the data twice but takes up space. So if you have two 4GB hard drive, you will only get 4GB of storage capacity. With Raid 0, you do not have redundancy but you get the whole 8GB to use.
This NAS and most other NAS do not come with hard drives. The hard drive bays will be empty when you get your unit. You will have to supply your own hard drive. My hard drives are Seagate Ironwolves. They are completely silent. I also programmed the NAS to power off at night. It comes back on in the morning. Doing this will help you save on electricity. There is no need to run the device at night when everybody is asleep unless you are using it to record from your security cameras.
The Terramaster software utility could use some improvement. It is not as easy to use as it should be. I am an IT professional and had no trouble. The average person may need to read the manual. You can also go to Youtube and watch the step by step instruction from the many users of this product. I recommend using the ethernet connection. Use an ethernet cable and connect this directly to your router. Do not go wireless. Hard wire is more reliable.
You can try using an ordinary desktop hard drive. They will work. For those of you who will only use this for a few hours a day, on less than ten devices at a time, yes. A regular hard drive would work. A regular desktop hard drive is something like the WD Blue or the Seagate Barracuda. If you have a lot of devices and this NAS will be operating upwards of 10 or more hours per day, do yourself a favor and get a hard drive that is specifically designed for network storage use. I am talking about hard drives like Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red. These are rugged hard drives that are meant for longer duty cycles. Is your data important? Get a Seagate Ironwolf and forget about the Barracuda. You can increase performance by using a faster hard drive but you may end up sacrificing reliability.
This is a terrific product. I recommend this for light-duty business use, home office use, or for the household which needs to share data across multiple devices. Somebody who has a lot of really important data might need a NAS with at least four to five hard drives. Having a lot of hard drives will allow that user to run in Raid 5 mode. Raid 5 has both redundancy and enhanced performance. This product, the subject of the review, only has two hard drive bays. This will allow you to run Raid 0 and Raid 1. Striping for performance and data capacity. Mirroring for redundancy and data safety. Your choice. Either way, you should consider an off-site back up plan. Either an online data backup storage service or simply backing up your data to another external device and storing that in a safe location. Safe location is not under your bed or the bottom of your underwear drawer. Safe location is something like a safe deposit box. I back up my NAS to an external hard drive enclosure that has a WD Red hard drive. I take the hard drive off-site for safety.
You cannot go wrong with this product. I recommend this to the savvy home user or small business owner. It will do the job very nicely. Those with very important data, like an accountant who has a tax service business, should consider a model with at least 4-5 hard drive bays. The more hard drive bays, the more options you will have for redundancy. But understand this, those NAS hard drives ain't cheap. And the price of the Terramaster units with more hard drive bays is substantially more. And they produce more heat and make more noise. So think this one carefully. If the NAS is to serve as a media hub and it will be near your TV or stereo, go with a two-drive model to keep the noise down. Pay the extra money and buy NAS specific hard drives. Your choice of hard drives will determine the reliability. There is a hard drive for each specific task. You want to use this to record feeds from your security cameras? Then get a hard drive made for that purpose. WD Purple is for security camera use.
This is an excellent, excellent product.
The Terramaster is much easier to configure and knocked out a lot of things that I was going to have to upgrade my current NAS to be able to accomplish, in addition to being much quieter and less power hungry.
Pluses:
- 2x 2.5Gb LAN (other vendor's option only having 2x1Gb)
- 2x USB 3.1 10Gb for Wireless, Backup, additional capacity via DAS or (possibly?) 10Gb wired connectivity
- TRAID option, not using it with my 4x14TB drives but nice to have the option to mix drive capacities
- Transcoding in hardware
- Much quieter and lower power requirements than my current NAS
- RAM upgradable to 32GB
- Well priced (I got it on a deal where it wasn't much more than their 2-bay option)
- Capacity with 4x 3.5/2.5, 2x NVMe and the ability to use NVMe for cache or storage
- Ability to load a different Operating System, not that I probably will (HDMI console out helps!)
Misses?:
- Lighter app catalog than other vendor's options
- A bit less fully featured apps but they do support my needs
- A bit of work to install RAM and NVMe but not something that you need to do often
I was wanting to use Jellyfin as my primary Multimedia serving app and it isn't in their official catalog but it, and a ton over others, are available via the Terramaster Community Place 3rd party site.
Very happy with the new addition and no issues to note.
I began setting up the Terra master F2-223 which was easy enough, interface was user-friendly. I'd say in about 20 minutes I was ready to start filling my drives.
The Terra Master F2-223 utilizes the TOS (Terramaster Operating System), which was pretty user-friendly . TOS provides all the NAS management tools, along with a bunch optional app installations (Plex, Emby, Jellyfish) to name a few.
The Terra Master F2-223 is an excellent choice for individuals looking for an affordable and reliable network-attached storage solution. I was building a simple media server. The unit drives cool and quiet.

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.
