So would you mind telling me your TOS version? CURRENTLY 5.1.103-00409 HOWEVER this happened about 2 years ago, I THINK I was on 4 something. But since then I have not plugged in an external. I am looking to see if this was a one time thing and it's safe to leave it plugged i or if this was a known...

What are you talking about? You are not making sense. My TOS is as up to date as it can be.

It is recommended that you format the hard drive and reinstall the TOS5.1.145 system. For specific operations, please refer to this link: https://forum.terra-master.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=423 The TOS system will generally not damage the data when plugged into an external USB, but it is recommended ...

I am hoping to plug it back into the NAS for backups and eliminate the Windows computer but I have concerns with TOS breaking again. I have about 15 dockers that I would not want to lose.

F5-221 and I do not remember the TOS version when it happen. MIGHT have been 4 but I am not sure. Sorry I MEANT to say this happened about 2-3 years ago. I have since plugged that external into a Windows computer as I don't trust this to not happen again.

I have a USB external plugged into my NAS that I leave plugged for backups. TOS froze up and the only way I could fix it was to reinstall everything. This happen to anyone else?

I have a 5 bay NAS right now, with 5 4TB drives in TRAID. Looks like TRAID is flexible, if I buy a bigger drive, say one every month to spread out cost, TRAID will adjust and expand, is that correct? So over the course of 6 months I could put replace one 4TB drive with an 8TB drive once a month and ...

This might get deleted but I'll try.

Does anyone know what happens if the storage that TOS is install on gets wiped all together? Can you reinstall TOS from the "For new TNAS device TOS installation" image that is on the downloads page? Or if it's wiped it's done?
