This thing is driving me nuts. The drives and network lights are flickering and going crazy constantly even if there is no traffic. I managed to change to RAID 0, the drives are totally empty but working all the time, this cannot be normal. Anyone else had this.

Just found out that this is perfectly normal on the TOS, anywhere from 12 to 48 hours after the initial install (depending on the size of the drives). Nice of Terra-master to tell me (not) during the install process. Sounds like the old fashioned Microsoft De-frag process. Mine stopped after 18 hours.
