F4-424 Pro

I got a TerraMaster F4-424 Pro for like $400 during a sale. Best decision ever!

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

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

This NAS (Terramaster F4-424 Pro) has just dropped by more than £200 on Amazon, the spec is better for the price than anything you could build yourself and will massively exceed your streaming requirements.

I hear you! The HDD and SSD prices in Malaysia have skyrocketed. Luckily I'm getting HDDs and SSDs from Taiwan. They are way too expensive in Malaysia. Now I'm stuck between the Terramaster F4-424 PRO and the UGREEN DXP4800+ as the F4-425+ is out of stock 😢. The 424 Pro is cheaper than the DXP4800+.

I use a Terramaster F4-424 pro with Unraid. Still very happy with the decision. Small, efficient, simple to set up hardware wise. Also near silent with some CPU adjustments. (As long as HDDs are not spinning ofc). Unraid also clearly is easy enough for a noob like myself.

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

You're obviously still somewhat constrained with a pre-built as aside from replacing the HDDs/SDDs you can't improve the hardware. So if in future you get a more CPU intensive workload the N100 type CPU is going to feel like a real bottleneck. Obviously you can always add a dedicated new system in f

If Terramaster 424 is in your price range then it's a decent shout. The N95 CPU has a modern capable iGPU for and transcoding needs. I'm using it's bigger brother the F4 424 Pro which has the N300 but ultimately the same iGPU. I ditched TOS for Open Media Vault straight away. I run the OS and applic

Came here to suggest TerraMaster. I'm running a F4 424 Pro but the non Pro is likely more than powerful enough for your use case. I do run it with OpenMediaVault so can't comment on TerraMasters own OS. As general NAS advice I would suggest grabbing a 4 bay rather than saving a bit of money on a 2 b
