F4-424 Pro

The Terramaster F4-424 Pro with 2 HDDs, 2 SSDs and 2 NVMEs. Runs TrueNas Scale. TrueNas is a bit fiddly but overall quite pleased with result. I did notice that one drive near the CPU gets hotter, likely due to the CPU cooling element being close by.

I went with a Terramaster F4-424 pro N-305 processor and installed Unraid on it. Happy so far. Underclocking the CPU in the BIOS makes it nearly silent if HDDs are not spinning.

4th option. Get a moderately powerful NAS and skip the NUC and storage issues. 4 Bay NAS from someone like Terramaster or UGreen that comes with a modern Intel chip and the ability to run the OS of your choice. Edit: For reference I'm rocking a Terramaster F4 424 Pro

I owned the 4800 plus for about a year and loved it. I don't know as much about the F4 424 pro. It looks like the ugreen is about $100 cheaper at the moment, which you could use to load up the ram. I don't know about the terramaster but with the 4800 plus, if you decide to use a third-party OS, you

2x Terramaster (F4-424 Pro and F6-424 with lots of docker containers and running an array of all disks each) running on 7.14 almost flawlessly upgraded to 7.2.1. I only need to remove the /boot/config/dashboard_setting.json to get the dashboard to three columns.

I have a terramaster f4-424 Pro, but I'm using TOS6 now. I don't think the plastic case has any effect on me, and it has better heat dissipation and is quieter. But from what I read, it's very easy to run Unraid on terramaster.

So I took a quick look at the TerraMaster range. The F2-424 & F4-424 use the N95, the F4-424 Pro is an N305 and the F4-424 Max is using an i5-1235U. The Qnap TS-264 and 464 are using the older N5095. The TS-253E & 453E are also on the older J6412. Looks like Qnap are haven't done a hardware update f

Terramaster f4-424 pro running unraid I have recently moved from Synology to this Very happy with the move

I have two Terramasters on Unraid, F4-424 Pro and F6-424. They run just fine. Install the Dynamics plugins a you are all set. Tip: use the same USB what come with the Terramaster systems, they last longer I was told. No BIOS fiddling needed.

Digging into the hardware architecture, we were able to see that these are PCIe Gen 3×2 architecture, which was to be expected given the 8 (technically 9) lanes of PCIe afforded to the N300 CPU. This means that you will halve the speed of any PCIe Gen 3×4 SSDs that you install in these bays, which i
