The format raid has be stuck at 11% for a few hours. What would be the problem? I have 4 seagate drives in the unit. 2 x 2TB and 2x 1TB. I asked for single drive since I want to for movies that I have disks for so I didn't need the RAID.

Please advise the HDD model number, is it Seagate IronWolf or Barracuda. It's not recommended to install Barracuda in our device. It may have compatible issues with performance.

Sadly they are barracuda. I have created a RAID 0 and it is working fine when I watch a movie on a networked computer using the PLEX app, however, when I watch on a networked TV with the PLEX app or a Tablet with the PLEX app the playback is studdering. Would this mean that I have purchased the unit with too little RAM? of is it totally the fault of the drives?

Probably the kiss of death but i run Barracuda HDDs in my F5-221 with no problems.
