Terramaster F4-424 - Storage pool - Clem - 10-15-2025 ello everyone! I've just started my journey into the NAS (Network Attached Storage) world. I picked up a TerraMaster F4-424 and successfully installed and initialized it with two brand new hard drives. However, I've hit a major roadblock while trying to set up my storage, and I could really use some expert insight! The Problem: I initially tried to create a Volume, but nothing happened—no progress, no errors, just silence. I then tried to create a Storage Pool first. This finally started an initialization process, but it stopped abruptly at 10% with a frustrating popup: "The operation completed successfully." Despite this message, no storage pool was actually created! The Current State (TOS): When I checked the drive status in the TOS, it sees both of my 2 drives (both showing as empty), but only one of them is listed as "Good." The second drive has no status information at all. My Question: Based on this sequence of events (stalled volume creation, failed pool creation at 10%, and one drive having no status), does this sound like a TOS software/firmware issue or a hardware problem with the second hard drive? Any advice on how to proceed with troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated!
