Setting up the F4-210 Without Formatting

Post by xGryfter »

I'm setting up the F4-210 for the first time.
The drives I have in it all have data on them that I don't want to delete nor do I want to setup RAID. Is it possible to initialize the NAS and drives without making any changes to them?

Drives used in TNAS need to be formatted, create new partitions and a new file system, so you should backup all your data before you use the drive for TNAS. By the way, before you install, please refer to the hard disk compatibility list.
