Update a F4-830

[ggrswiss]

Hello,

I would like to know if a Terramaster F4-830 is updatable to manage larger hard disk than 3Go ?
Could you give me some advises to make it runs.

Thank you,

Find your model here. I can find anything with that name.

It seems that it's not in that list.

Must be chinese only model, not a global one.

Look into BIOS if you can disable force USB boot of TOS, then you can put any OS you want on it.

That's just a plug and play, not much. That does not run under a OS.
Actually, the issue i have with it is that most of HDs nowadays are sold with at least 4Go and above. It's become difficult to find some 3Go.
That's why i was wondering if that devise could be upgrated by somehow to bypass that limitation ?! Do you get it ?

... sorry ... a typo ... not 4Go... but 4To

I looked at the pictures and thought "WOW, I didn't know @TM had been around that long"
Or that a model 25 years old could still be living, outside of a museum........
especially given the shelf life/longevity of more recent hardware.

This is a product that has been discontinued for 10 years, equipped with an old firewire 1394B interface. We have stopped maintaining and providing services for this device for many years. We are unable to assist you with your issue anymore. We're very sorry!

But you can provide the latest firmware to the owner of the device, it may help him.
