That's great news @delavegagr. I'd like to do this also, just to confirm, you were able to do this with your hard drives fitted, and you had no issues with data loss?

First, I have tried it with a clean installation using a laptop hdd, as I confirmed that everything seemed to work I have used my own drives and performed a system upgrade, all my data is accessible and all of my settings

Hello guys, I have great news, I have successfully upgraded my F2-220 from 6.2 to 7.1.

I have followed this method/mod/hack from THE SAINT  @pocopico  Install DSM 7 on BareMetal or VM based on Redpill
-BIOS is set to UEFI, in Legacy mode it kept booting with black screen
-I have used the automated script to create VID,PID, only the MAC is changed by hand.
-I have chosen the DS918+ with the apollolake-7.1.0-42661 configuration

DId you already try @delavegagr

Sadly no, I don't have spare free time to test it, that's why I asked if anyone had already tried it

Hello again, has anyone tested the new update 6.2.4 - 25556 on the F220?

[TerraMaster F2-220]

I don't know, you need to change the Bios boot options, maybe your BIOS is pre-configured to boot from the USB

There's quite a bit of obstruction in an unaltered F4-220, including the plastic faceplate.  I was thinking of removing some of the internal sheet metal/aluminum where I could, and then putting a 200mm hole on the top of the exterior shell.  A fan could then be mounted externally then, either in pull position upward out of the enclosure or a push position down into the enclosure, depending on the orientation of the back two fans.   It would create better flow and cooling.

There is no need for that, i suck(easily bored) with software modding so i purchased a fan controller module from Aliexpress and it works just fine

Hello i want to post my successful CLEAN installation of DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 6 on the F2-220.

The things i have used:
-Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3615xs (LINK)
-Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs (LINK)
-Bios settings set to "Legacy"
-VGA cable to select USB Stick from Boot options

Steps:
-First edit the GRUB file with VID,PID,MAC etc
-Second, mount the second partition and replace the extra.lzma file from Driver extension mod
-Third, extract the zImage and the rd.gz from the DSM_DS3615xs_24922.pat file and place them on the second partition again
 

Edit:
I have tested the DSM 6.2.3-25426 Version and booted up nicely

I have followed the same steps but i have used the following:
-Same loader
-Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.3 (LINK)
-The zImage and the rd.gz from the DSM_DS3615xs_25426.pat file
