TerraMaster D2 Thunderbolt 3 2-Bay DAS Review

Test Methodology
For this kind of reviews, I use two types of drives whenever it is possible: HDDs and SSDs. Hard drives have the capacity advantage while SSDs provide better performance. Both have their merits, and it depends on your usage scenario which you’ll opt to get and use.
The drives will be tested in the available drive modes. Each drive mode is tested with a variety of benchmark apps before it’s destroyed and I move onto the next mode. That will give you a great view of a possible setup’s performance and comparable values to other reviews and devices.
