Re: Restoring from an external drive
:O Unbelievable! :O Believe it or not, it WAS the cable! My USB-C cables were USB3.0 rated but I needed more, anyway, so I got new ones making sure they specifically met the USB 3.2 Gen 2 specs. They arrived a few hours ago -- the transfer from my external Yottamaster drive to my TerraMaster F6-424 ...

Re: Restoring from an external drive
I realized that as well. I am using a USB-C to USB-C cable rated at 480mbps on the TerraMaster's only USB-C port (it's USB3.2, right?) connected to the USB-C port on the external drive -- a Yottamaster PC400RU3's USB-C port (USB3.0). Although I never exactly measured the transfer speeds while it was...

Re: Restoring from an external drive
Thank you for the link -- I will surely use one of those when I'm ready to set up a backup schedule. But right now, I was just asking about simply copying files from a connected USB drive to the local TRAID volume. It's still copying. It's been steadily copying non-stop for almost 3 DAYS. So far, I'...

Restoring from an external drive
When I replaced my aging and full QNAP nas with a new F6-424 Max (+8GB additional RAM) I thought it'd be a simple matter of connecting my external USB3 hard drive and restoring the files to their new TerraMaster home. :) The set-up went great and it saw the external drive immediately, so I used the ...

Re: Wasted space on system SSD?
When I try to create a storage pool on "the 1TB SSD used as the system drive," as you suggested, it warns me that all data on the selected drive will be erased. Does that really mean the (only) system disk will be erased? How will the NAS be able to boot? https://i.postimg.cc/RNB8pvv5/TOS-...

Wasted space on system SSD?
I've just set up a F6-424 Max with TOS6. I put two 1tb SSDs in the m.2 slots -- one for system and the other for the hyper cache. I just realized that there's a whole lotta wasted space on that system drive. Is it possible to use that extra space for snapshots? I haven't added the Snapshot app yet -...
