Hi TMRyan,

Can i please get steps and procedure to change boot order for F4-424 pro for using USB port behind the unit instead of using the internal USB port?

Ok thanks Gremlin, let's see what Terramaster technical support has to say about if its possible to change the boot order of F4-424 pro as nothing is documented yet.

Thanks for the reminder Gremlin, I will also make a backupof the current TOS 5 before they roll out TOS 6 just in case. I will also remove the internal USB to be safe.

Will there be a chance that the USB inside will get overwritten? Does the USB that contains TOS bootloader also registers as a storage when setting up NAS OS?

I think plugging it in directly to the router will still work since the router will assign ip address to the NAS. I'm not sure but maybe connecting directly to terramaster VPN will be faster. I mig...

Thank you all for the clarification. Seems like the safe option is to buy new disk at least one to keep on running. My plan is to run NAS so I can access my files anywhere around the world. I have DAS D4-320 with 4tb on each bay to serve as a backup. DAS will only be connected once a week to sync in...

Hi! I just bought f4-424 pro and about to start setting up but I have some few items need to clarify before proceeding. 1. Is it possible to initialize or start TOS without hdd or nvme ssd installed? Because I dont have empty drive available 2. I have hdd and sdd with important data on it in EXT4 fi...
