Terramaster F2-210 2 Bay NAS for Under $150 - Review and HOW TO Setup Guide

[@AndreBenrubi]

Did buy the unit during the Black Friday week. Did not have to download any software. If you can detect the address of the NAS on your network when you turn it on, then you can enter the address in your browser and follow the installation process. This was important for me since I have a Chromebox and the software mentioned in the video is actually either for a Mac or a Windows machine.

[@WorkFromHype]

thanks for the vid! I've been on the hunt for budget NAS options and this was helpful.

[@chuckmorris6003]

Just purchased from Amazon. Your vid will be most helpful when it arrives. Keep up the good work.

Ditto

[@TerraMasterGlobal]

Perfect review! you are awesome! thank you!

[@NoobtuberKidd]

Great review even in 2023, very informative!

[@phakalanep7241]

Greetings I have had TerraMaster F4-220 for about 2 years now and have had no trouble at all running 4 X 8tb 3” Seagate hard drives running at RAID 1 for storage of Pictures and documents

[@gszah]

Had to break the 4000 view mark. Thanks for a great video! Will be getting the 4-bay one!

[@guinness11]

Useful review. Good info. Thanks for this!

[@AI-PhotographyGeek]

Useful Review, thank you!

[@TechWizTime]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@gregsb3454]

Good review - thanks. I have an F2-NAS it is very slow and not worth using, it looks like the design has not changed re the fan housing.

[@dresdonmccool709]

Awesome review mate, wouldnt mind knowing how this handles the Cav Green drives..... Most NAS's normally only want cav red and cav black

[@cobrasartori]

nice review man, just missed a real life data transfer test on that. some people says that it cant reach the gigabit speed

[@steve-n1738]

sweet video, thank you for the information.

[@theboz5206]

How would this behave if I want to add a 2nd HDD later down the road? I don't want to run it in raid. Would it ask me to format the 1st drive again?

[@pmehta4452]

Thanks for your great review. Did you try to setup a personal cloud on it. Was it easy to do that? I have a need to seed large files for clients so they can download them selves without using cloud services like Dropbox etc. Thank you again.

[@SPLPuroOne]

Nice alternative! But sadly not have a download manager feature

[@silvionne]

Congrats, a very nice clean and to the point review. I like your moto. Can you please tell me if this NAS has some kind of download manager, so I can put for example to download some stuff and then view it via local network or via web? How does it work with 4K movies stored on the NAS, can it transcode to other lower devices like phones, tablets, laptops?

[@deathdenyzme]

Pretty sure "single disk" opts out of any RAID and utilizes drives as single disks.

[@jasonluong3862]

Can you do a build your own NAS using a Raspberry Pi 4 B? You can buy an enclosure that takes the Pi and the SATA drives.

[@dresdonmccool709]

Yes you can and there cases to house it Can also use spare pc parts and use software such as freeNAS and unRAID Personally have a core i3 mini ITX system with 4gb and 5 drives of different sizes being used with unRAID System has been online for approx 4yrs and only issue was a HDD failed, replaced with no data loss

[@slammerton]

Tolles Video, danke! Eine Frage: Ist es möglich auf die NAS Station auch mobil zuzugreifen? Also als Cloudlösung, auch wenn man nicht in dem WLAN zuhause ist?

[@lenhanthanhngoaingu3379]

Can I use one 2TB HDD and one 4HDD in the 2 bays at the same time? How many devices (phones, tablets, laptops and desktops) can be connected to this NAS? How many accounts/personal folders can be created for this NAS? Thank you very much for your response. (Your accent makes me miss my OZ friends, mate)

[@jimjamsam3482]

what happened to Techwiz time?

[@Crazy88boss1]

Great video new sub on an old vid

[@stinkyham9050]

I'm really interested in getting a NAS but I'm confused by their operation. If I have a NAS setup and hook a laptop to it for instance can I just go into my file manager on my windows PC find a file on the NAS and start working with it right off the NAS. Or is it more of an archive type drive where I need to import the file from the NAS to my PC to start using it?

[@jorgepadilla4137]

I'm looking to just have a network storage device. Would this be good for me? you know your everyday pictures videos and documents.

[@DaltonKevinM]

I'm looking to set up a 2-drive NAS to serve as a home image server. Can I access over wifi?

[@ramezquita100]

I have the same one. Can I hot-swap the drives when the Nas is on?

[@NathanielKempson]

Mines running at 10mbps................is it cos my HDDs are mismatched?

[@ecsfusion7472]

Mine did everything from the browser. Nothing to download.

[@JBASSIR]

does this work with my android ? will it sync my data on my phone ?

[@dougrozander5087]

will this f2-210 work with Sonos

[@Chippy621]

could i run a small game server on this

[@BearTalkWoof]

I've a question, can the terramaster website where I log in could be secured? i notice it not secured on my end.

[@Geostationary0rbit]

why does the RAM matter?

[@paulruffy8389]

What if I'm using Linux?

[@jafarsamarrai1999]

Does the unit sleep if there is no network “demand” ?

[@waltkong]

There is a sleep option for hard disk.

[@ldc0707]

Does the ram limitation affect transcoding of PLEX multimedia?

[@holesintheplot]

I know this comment is 2 years old, but for anyone else who comes here, this NAS is limited to 720 and some 1080 transcoding.

[@greyhnd001]

Where do you get the admin password?

[@pjackson239]

The ram IS upgradeable. There is a slot for more ram on the board. On a side note the os is crap. Search xpenology

[@isdits]

What's the max limit of the ram?

[@loucipher7782]

124 MB/s for mechanical hard disk in raid 0 is VERY BAD lmfao

[@W.A.-Linux]

Thanks, still the price same XD

[@slicedpage]

useful video, but the channel is not maintained.

[@stressfree9780]

thats garbage mate ! why would anyone buy that garbage over a Synology NAS (The entire point of a NAS is dependability - Pay the extra $95 and get Business Class Synology)

[@pilsplease7561]

I have literally one of the most expensive synology nas units you can buy, and they refused to help me with a software glitch and told me to buy a new one greedy bastards
