Terramaster F4-424 Max NAS Leaked

[@regwatson2017]

Synology better get their ass into gear because I'm holding off on an upgrade until I see what is brought to Market.

[@draginator6]

Excited I found your channel from your ugreen coverage. I have a 4800+ and love tinkering with it, it's my first nas and I enjoy learning more about the broader community.

[@scottspringer6854]

Great video and appreciate you waiting to eliminate the potential of bad information. Terramaster is definitely stepping up their game with hardware refreshes for home consumers. When you combine it with Unraid OS, it makes a compelling pitch to migrate from Synology. F4-424 Max sounds good for someone that needs all the bells and whistles. I was worried when I heard about this coming out after I bought my F4-424 Pro on Prime Day on sale that I bought mine too soon. However the Intel N305 and other features on the Pro are enough for my needs (Plex and Docker containers etc.). I'm assuming the Max will be understandably several hundred dollars more than Pro due the increased performance. I'm curious if the i5 and the 10 Gbe ports will use more electricity as well. Looking forward to the review of the Max when it comes out.

Tbh there is more known ok the unit now, so I've added it to the article linked.

[@haunter90]

My F6-424 Max is arriving today :) Will be great. got 2 nvme 4TB each; 6 12TB HDD's (7200rpm/256mb cache) and 64 GB RAM ddr5-5200 cl24 (couldn't find 4800 cl20 in stock), can't wait :D

[@DreaMeRHoLic]

To be honest... as a owner of the F4 424 pro I understand your 10gbe wish as i understand your hate against seagulls, but since most homeusers once upload their movies n stuff to the NAS they might add some gigabytes here and there after that, but the average user can wait 5 minutes to copy over the new blueray you just brought and paying 200 bucks extra over the PRO to save 2-3 minutes sometimes isnt worth the extra money. For 3.0 the 10gb didnt matter, because when i looked at it i noticed that 3.0 isnt fast enoth to keep up with it anyway and yes, it makes sense to go for 4.0 and 10gb if you transfer a lot of data and want it fast, but if you really think that you need to spend 200 buck extra to save 5-10 seconds per gigabyte while you maybe copy 10gb per month (how fast would you run out of space by that rate?)..... then i'm sorry, but i think you're a fool. That doesnt mean that someone like NAScompares doesnt gets value, because he does backup his videos if i'm right... but for the average user this makes as much sense as a Ferrari if you never leave the city and are stuck in travic all day anyway. It's just numbers that you never put to use and are just there to impress others.

[@nascompares]

I see your point (especially in seagulls), but I would slightly counter that there is a growing market for users who want to edit video on NAS systems, who want to make the most of what more powerful processors can do with 'sustained' activities, virtual machines being used as defacto day to day pcs (when bandwidth on dense ops are key)... Sure, in a traditional transfer sense 10G is only 4x faster than 2.5G (on the same cpu etc), but if you need ALOT of day per second, then that's when faster m.2s, bigger bandwidth and sustained performance counts. It's more popular than you think.

[@RomanRanzmaier]

On the Terramaster the F4-424 Max is only listed on the UK site. But there is also a F6-424 Max for all markets. I asked the live chat ant they told me that it will be on Amazon in 19. of September. And 2x16GB Memory is supported. But the support employee didn't sound very competent, he wrote that there are 2 M.2 slots, so 2x16GB Ram is supported. Maybe you have more detailed information.

[@pedrosa144]

Out today with £100 discount, still a bit expensive but great specs.

[@thismichael]

I literally just got the pro I ordered shipped to me... ugh should I return and wait for this?

[@everyday_truth]

looks like Ugreen really giving these nas makers good competition.

[@unkokrispy]

Funny how no one talks about the UGREEN at all now that’s it’s been released…

[@nascompares]

I mean...I'm not even sure it's released yet (they had numerous supply issues I understand), but I think they sold quite a few thousand units and backers have them. Tbh I think we will likely hear more about them now, when they cross into traditional retail

[@draginator6]

@@unkokrispyI love mine, the forums are really active for them, but the only people that have them are the kickstarter backers so it makes sense you don't see them everywhere.

[@nuur2825]

​@nascompares I have one and it works well.

[@unkokrispy]

@@draginator6 that’s good to hear :) anything to keep the NAS market competitive is great!

[@jcb208]

Looks like I will be moving to terramaster, only thing putting me off is all the work moving synology data in SHR format

[@scottspringer6854]

Just made my migration. It's a pain and I'm sure there are better ways to do it but I just copied all my data onto external usb drives from the Synology over to the Terramaster. If Synology did not automatically assign a RAID 1 configuration (to mirror the DSM OS on each drive) I could have mounted the drives directly in the Terramaster and performed the transfer to the new Unraid array. Oh well. Synology definitely has a lot of good things going for it (Ease of use, good software/OS), but Terramaster's harware/price ratio is really making it a contender.

[@tv-rx7ti]

give me those spec's and 6-8 drive bays competitively priced and they can take my money, holding off diy until the fall announcements come

[@keithmiller9665]

With all of the new NAS I am primarily interested in AV1 Encoding / Decoding hardware support, as well as AV1 software transcoding. Given the rate that AV1 is expanding h264 (old technology) and h265 (licence issues) are starting to look outdated. Once AV1 really takes off any NAS without hardware transcoding support is going to seem dated and need replacing. Better to get full AV1 hardware transcoding support now in a NAS. Any NAS without this AV1 support is a hard pass.

[@zenos9302]

from intel 11 gen on it is supported and amd ryzen 6000 and on

[@kicaj741]

I'll tell you a story you wont read on Amazon, etc because they would most likely delete my story. It took my 3 days to realize: behind a great hardware for a price for NAS stands full of flaws TOS 6.X and all its embeeded apps. Copying the 3TB to external drive - failed without clear log stating whats going on. Trying to backup my 350GB OneDrive stucks (fails) in the middle with no clear log on whats going on and possibility to restart it. Survivelance does not work while it worked flawlessly on my previous NAS. Flaws, flaws, flaws even on the level of pure copy of the data to external hdd or running things in parallel. Thus, unless you unraid it (but thats additional cost unless you bought (or download) a license for it) this is extremely unrealiable piece of hardware/software. Shame for Terramaster to deliver such product with so many flaws in their software. Risk of getting your data lost is incredible.

[@Chris-hy6jy]

The price of these NAS boxes is just crazy these days. A basic CPU, little RAM and a box with 4 drive bays for almost a grand!! Truenas is so much better value.

[@zenos9302]

Have you seen the Jonsbo box N5 with nothing at all? For europe with taxes a wopping 420Euro...F6 424Max wtih 6 bay nas with i5 and 16gb and nice compact enclosure + software and warranty 1000Euro

[@Chris-hy6jy]

@@zenos9302 that doesn't make it good value, it just means the Jonsbo is even worse value for money.

[@zenos9302]

@@Chris-hy6jy it means if you want something decent it is overexpensive. Every DIY has its flaws and poor case choices. Depends what your budget is and what you are looking for. How i see it, its a great device. Lesser money and it would sell like hotcakes.

[@MrTomo89]

Meanwhile people buy a synology with 1gb network card , and then forced to buy synology hardware to upgrade , just bought a used Qnap with more power than a ds923+ that’s £550 I got a i3 tvs-471 with 10gb nic for £180 wtf the software is good but come on synology

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Synology software is actually good but not godlike as they tend to say. Drive doesn't compare to Dropbox client, at least under windows, I've had multiple sync problems with it which are unclear how to troubleshoot. Android apps are trash, old UI and limited functionality, ds notes doesn't run on latest Android versions. Hyperbackup very slow. List goes on

[@LGS_Inc]

So I own a photography company and I have about 7TB on my desktop and about half full. I want a backup hard drive that I can access my work online when I use my laptop and travel. Recommendations?? I seen stuff on Synolog, Qnap, and now this. Not sure what route to go. Please help.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Just about any of those should work. If it's only for backup, it doesn't matter much. Synology has better SW (though it's not godlike like people tend to say), but sucky prices, hw, and are neglecting their Soho segment). Qnap is also quite pricey, but later devices tend to have better hw than Synology afaik.
