F4-424 Pro

You owe me a Token: Your TerraMaster F4-424 Pro (assuming that's the exact model, as F4-F24 isn't standard but matches the Pro series with TOS 6) is in a pretty common stuck state after the RAID5 expansion + heavy Docker/VM experimentation. The 502 Bad Gateway errors, TNAS PC "connection failed" or

I went the pre-built route. Terramaster F4 424 Pro on a black Friday sale. I didn't like the idea of dealing with a usb das on top of a mini PC. I saw too many warnings around usb reliability to want to deal with that. If you do go the mini PC route then don't cheap out on the USB DAS. For backups I

Have you looked at TerraMaster F4-424 (PRO)? You can simply replace the internal boot USB and use your own OS

Ended up getting the Terramaster F4-424 Pro as it seems like it can easily handle what I want to do with it and more for really cheap (found it for cheap compared to other things like it), and it came early!will be setting up tomorrow. super compact which is perfect for me as i have very little spac

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

My Terramaster F4 424 Pro has an Intel N305, 32Gb Memory, 4 HDD bays, 2 Nvme slots and dual 2.5gb Ethernet. It's compact and reasonably quiet. Supports running your own OS so I'm using Open Media Vault. Generally get decent discounts at common sales season e.g. black Friday.

I have the Terramaster F4-424 Pro. Similar use case to yours I’d guess; Plex, *arrs, etc. with a couple of additional containers for this and that. I don’t know that I’d say “plug in the USB and go” is truly accurate, but I am new to unRAID, so take what I’m saying with a small grain of salt at leas

I run Jellyfin on my Terramaster NAS with OMV as the OS. I bought the NAS during last years Black Friday sale. I have the F4 424 Pro but non Pro in either 2 or 4 bay versions would also work fine. Anything with a modern Intel CPU is pretty decent as the iGPU is very capable for any transcoding needs

I've been fairly happy with it. The hardest part, for me atleast, is setting up the docker container repositories to access the NAS files. I'm still in the process of the transfer (my time is limited) but I planned doing this from the beginning. I'm just a novice and have to get over the learning cu

Personally I like to recommend Terramaster/UGreen models as you can run your own OS. You want something with an Intel N100 type chip (N95, N150, N300) as they have very modern iGPUs that can handle most formats. They lack AV1 hardware encoding but do have AV1 decoding so can transcode the latest and
