Thank you for reaching out to TerraMaster!Right now I have the F4-424 Pro running TOS5 with 4x4TB drives in TRAID and I just got my self a WD SN580 with intention to have it as a boot drive and have application on it.
What I managed to figure out by browsing the forum is that you can't really choose boot drive on TOS 5, but TOS 6 you can. So what shall I do?
Download page for the F4-424 Pro doesn't list TOS 6 and I've done "method b" reinstalling once before after a restart didn't go as planned... So I know that method at least going forward.
Should I factory restore, remove the HDDs and install the SSD by it self and reinsert the HDDs?
Or should I upgrade and then re-install.
I want my HDDs to be intact when it comes to TRAID and whats on them, just don't want TOS on them...
Firstly, please refer to this guide to upgrade to TOS6. The upgrade process will update the initialization system to one specifically designed for TOS6. After the upgrade is complete, reinstall TOS. At this point, the new initialization system exclusive to TOS6 will allow you to install the system only on a solid-state drive (SSD).

Secondly, you do not need to remove your hard drives. When installing TOS, simply select the SSD as the target drive for installing TOS.
