20TB Seagate IronWolf Pro ST20000NT001 7200RPM 256MB Cache is currently running in my F5-221 so there is one more for the compatibility list

WD RED Pro

• WD221KFGX (22TB)

• WD201KFGX (20TB)

Please re-add F5-221 back to the downloadable compatibility list. I do understand that newer drives will not be tested for compatibility but it is useful to us who have one (or more in my case) and are looking for replacement drives. Alternately, if you could post the last list before the model was ...

JimH, I had just noticed that there was an update on the Application page. I stopped my plex server. I then updated it on my f5-221 using the green update button from the terramaster applications. I then clicked on start and prepared to wait the usual 1.5 hours for the server to come up. It failed t...

To follow up... I ended up purchasing the F5-221 NAS unit and set it up with 3x 6TB Seagate Ironwolf drives (with total capacity of 18TB). Thank you so much for the guidance as I was researching. If anyone else is wanting to do the same, add/process the drives one at a time (setting up multiple at o...

That makes sense. Thanks for the quick response.
