Welp, did some more testing and the system seems pretty messed up.
Installed just a laptop hard drive to see what's going on, and it ran reasonable well for around 20 hours as long as I didn't do anything. I installed my Ironwolf drives after that to check for bad blocks, and the system started hanging again.
When I restarted, my old drives got recognized somehow but the system was again unstable.
I removed my drives again and did a scan on a Linux PC, the drives seemed fine: https://dpaste.com/7NYH8AHFH. I doubt that a single failed checksum causes all these issues.
After backing up I formatted my Ironwolf drives and reinstalled the system again. Again, unstable, the system crashed right away when copying files.
As another test, I reinstalled the OS again, this time on my laptop drive, and started copying files with SMB. The system again crashed pretty quickly, but this time I got a juicy error from /var/log/messages: https://dpaste.com/GU8UGJ8MF
By the way, there seems to be no option during the installation process to completely wipe the drive and start over. I have the feeling that this causes part of the issue: often previously installed programs still appear on the desktop in a broken state.
So to recap what I've tried:
* Ironwolf drives with old TOS: crashes on streaming media
* Ironwolf drives with reinstalled TOS: stable for around 20 hours, then crashes
* Laptop drive with reinstalled TOS: stable for around 20 hours if you do nothing, crashes on blocks check.
* Formatted ironwolf drives with reinstalled TOS: crashes on copying files.
* Reinstalled laptop drive: crashes on copying files.
* Hard drives in Linux PC: work fine.
It seems like something about this OS just crashes whenever you do too much with the hard drives. I'm a pretty technical user and I'm open to working with the team, if you want we can open a remote session so you can see what's going on.
It's really disappointing that both of the devices I've had failed so quickly. They're not cheap machines. Please resolve this!

Re: F5-221 crashes / disconnects
Thanks Roy, I've contacted the team.
Is there any way to do a memtest on my device? I'm wondering if the device shipped with a faulty memory stick, that would explain these weird issues.
