    I might actually give the 3x F2s a shot in my old N5200, it they work I may actually have a use for it.

    Either that or I'll use them as backup drives and keep them offsite (at my parents place)

    I actually noticed some problems with the F2 too. Two of my F2 (one 1TB and one 1.5TB) stalls (AMD board) / drops (Intel board) in Non-RAID environment occasionally. Could be possible that the drives are slightly faulty but doesn't show up in SMART nor surface scan.
