TerraMaster Launches Powerful 4-bay F4-424 Pro NAS

I’m a big fan of TerraMaster and actually use one of their 5-bay NAS in the home and office for all my network storage needs and a family Plex server, and it’s been pretty fantastic for the two years I’ve ran it. Sure, their software is still a bit hit and miss, but when it comes to price and performance, they’re ahead of the market! That’s true with their new 424 series too, a welcome upgrade to the previous 423 series.

Equipped with a potent Intel Core i3 CPU and up to 32 GB DDR5 memory, it’s going to be very capable of keeping up with higher workloads and video transcoding. It uses the latest TOS 5.1 operating system and is ready for the upcoming TOS 6 OS too, but with powerful networking, it should also prove extremely versatile for enthusiast home users and SMB alike.

Peak Performance 4-Bay NAS

Intel Core i3 8-core 8-thread CPU at 3.8 GHz (turbo), integrated UHD GPU at 1.25 GHz, 32 GB DDR5, dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, and dual M.2 NVMe slots for SSD caching.

Faster Application Response

It achieves 150% performance boost over its predecessor. Experience 100% faster application load times, 45% increase in file and photo retrieval speed, 55% improvement in database response speed, and 65% faster PHP response for web pages.

Higher Transmission Speed

Features dual 2.5 GbE interfaces and can achieve a linear data transmission speed of 283 MB/s, Link Aggregation offers a network bandwidth up to 5 Gb. Featuring dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps interfaces, data transfer between your NAS and external devices is made swift.

Easy M.2 SSD Installation

To facilitate the installation of M.2 SSDs, TerraMaster has specially designed a side sliding cover for F4-424 Pro chassis, which is simply pushed aside to install M.2 SSDs. TerraMaster also provides hand-tightened screws, making it easy to install SSD within 5 seconds.

Latest TOS System and Virtualized Applications

It runs on the latest TOS system which integrates all-round professional storage management functions. The F4-424 Pro satisfies virtualized application needs and provides additional functionality within one device with the use of professional virtualized apps.

Rich Backup and Synchronization Solutions

TerraSync, Centralized Backup, Duple Backup, Snapshot, CloudSync, TFM Backup, and more enhance the security of your data with multiple backup applications. The unique TRAID provides users with optimized, flexible and elastic disk array management solutions.

In addition to the F4-424 Pro, the 424 series includes another 2 models: F2-424 (2-bay) and F4-424 (4-bay). The F4-424 Pro and F4-424 are already available in United States and select European markets, and will be generally available in other markets soon.
