Is this device the most flaky i have ever come across.....probably!
My F5-221 stays on permanently and until now i have not had cause to turn off but yesterday i was having trouble getting Plex to install so after some hunting i found that someone had success with uninstalling plex and turning the unit off via the on-board schedule and then on again manually and reinstalling Plex.

Anyway on trying to enable the off time in the schedule and it not working i gave up and turned off manually then back on and successfully reinstalled Plex and got it to configure properly after that i was running a duplicate's finder on one of the RAID folders which went fine,
This morning i couldn't contact the TNAS via the network and its IP address was not visible so had a look and it was on so thought i would just turn it off and on again....no dice it would not turn off i had to unplug it!......its working again now but every time something odd happens with this device i dread what else is going to happen....tempted to just go back to my old Zyxel NAS ran for years with no problems at all!

hi Tricky, did you replace your faulty drive? And you did tell what drive you have installed to the TNAS even if I have asked you twice. May I have your drive model number? A faulty drive or un compatible drive may cause a lot of unexpected issues.

Yes replaced it with another drive i had previously used in the TNAS so i know its OK i have never come across a NAS that is so sensitive to HHD type and state like i said my Zyxel NAS when on for years with cheap desktop drives.

hi Tricky,
Cheap desktop drive is not recommanded, old cheap desktop drive even worse. All issues you have reported are related to your drive. You better replace a drive with good condition.
