I have my old 210 running "USB Copy" to backup it's RAID5 array (4x 8TB, 10.5TB "used") to a USB external 16TB drive. I'm not sure how long that will take, the "USB Copy" TOS4 app does not appear to offer realtime completion progress. I put one M.2 SSD in the 423 and h...

with a consumption of each disk in standby of 1.2 W. (1.2x12 = 14.4 W) If you are measuring power consumption at the A/C input, I would offer that depending on efficiency of the included NAS power supply, that 14.4W of standby consumption by just the 12 drives probably translates into close to 20W ...

Based on your description, you have successfully changed the USB Initboot to TOS6-specific. When you put the HDDs containing TOS5 back into the NAS along with the M.2 SSD and reboot the NAS, it starts TOS5 from the HDD due to the boot priority.

If you are trying to upgrade to TOS 6 then following a designated upgrade path from 5.1.145 (eg to 6.0.530 or later https://forum.terra-master.com/en/viewtopic.php?p=39506#p39506 ) you should not need to re-write the usb drive as the upgrade would do it for you. In any case the usb in question is I...

I have a F4-423. It was running 5.1.145 with BIOS/InitBoot version 5.19. https://i.postimg.cc/cgYR0063/2025-07-27-10-45-35-TOS-5-1-and-3-more-pages-Personal-Microsoft-Edge.png From the instructions on page 1 of this thread, I downloaded "USB_Initboot_UEFI-229.img" and used rufus to write ...
