F4-425 Plus

I also got an F4-425 Plus about a month ago, though I mainly use it with Jellyfin. It's a bit different from Plex, but runs smoothly.

Obviously the DIY is cheaper compared to buying something Unless you already have hardware this might not be true. I was in your same position and ultimately decided to buy a TerraMaster F4-425 Plus. I'm really glad I went this way. The 425 Plus is really well made, quiet, and just works.

I have the three M.2 drives set up in RAID 5, which gives pretty efficient storage utilization. With my curren

The 424 series is a really good model. I have the F4-424 Max with a beta version of TOS 7 and I can tell you it's a very good pairing / system for the money. No need for TruSCALE or UnRAID. TOS 6 and or 7 will cover all the bases you mention in your post. As you mentioned, a six bay with Intel CPU,

Personally did a bit of research into this myself as I have a similar interest, with the addition of running Immich and the arr* stack. Also want to use TrueNAS scale so my journey stuck to intel based systems. Landed on: - Terramaster F4-425 Plus or- Beelink ME Pro 2-Bay In the end I am leaning mor

New NAS user. I’m running Plex off of a TerraMaster F4-425 Plus. Very easy to use.

Been using 7 for a week on f2-423 and f4-425 plus, both seem to be fine.
