Күн бұрынWe've never had our hands on anything from Terramaster before, and so when they reached out to offer to have us review their F4-432 high-performance NAS, we jumped at the chance! The thing is, we really weren't overly impressed with its "high-performance" Join us to find out the good, the no so good, and the strange of the TERRAMASTER F4-432!

Hey all, I made a few mistakes in the video regarding the product's model number. The unit is called the TERRASTATION, and I mistakenly called it the _F4-432_ a few times through the video! My apologies for any confusion!

Not only that, you also mix F4-432 with F4-423 😉

When you were doing the speed test, was the newly created disk array sync complete? If not, this will impact storage performance.
@2GuysTek Жыл бұрын
Great question! The array100% was in sync. Thanks for the question!

Question, which nas is better
@mjcharlton71 Жыл бұрын
This NAS works a treat with UnRAID. Will be shifting my main UnRAID system from a Ryzen 5 3600 to this, simply transplant the USB OS, spinning rust and NVMe and boot, and it just works. Fairly good power saving and physical size saving in moving to a tiny case from a Fractal R5!

As a chassis it does a great job!

can you passthrough the gpu on Unraid?

Sorry to bring you another creator, but Aplard has a video where he took the little brother of this unit and installed proxmox onto it. I would love to see you use this for zfs whether it's truenas or a roll your own.

I gotta say, this has crossed my mind! The possibilities are really endless!
@raypierce6990 Жыл бұрын
Nice review! Thanks! Is this an F4-432 or F4-423? The images of the unit clearly show it is the latter. 😉
@2GuysTek Жыл бұрын
Ugh, yep... You're right, I've transposed the model numbers! I've corrected the title. Thanks for the catch!

Nice review! Its a pity that all NAS under USD 1000 dont have strong processors so we can run proper VM´s and containers on them. When you compare these vs building your own setup with a Gen 12 or 13 Intel processor with iGPU they dont have a chance. That being said, the simplicity of Synology DSM is difficult to match.

Well Tyler researching can't really find the specific answer I need so I'm asking here. I am a beat maker, I want to get a Nas Drive to store and sell track outs when I sell beats that are not just 1 individual mp3 or wave file. Is something like this a good option as far as speed goes. I want to be able to provide a link and password for a particular folder after payment so my clients can download it, but not if it's to slow or inefficient.
@2GuysTek 6 ай бұрын
Short answer: buy a Synology. It’s more expensive, but your life with be better. Long answer: serving data from your personal NAS has a bunch of security considerations that need to be taken into account. It’s doable, but perhaps a Dropbox subscription would be better.

What is the bottleneck of the nvme performance, is that software Related, bios or hardware?
@2GuysTek Жыл бұрын
Great question and one I don't have a specific answer for. My suspicion is around the software, because on paper at least, the hardware should be capable of handling it.

Expandable to 32gb RAM? Intel's own specs for that SoC says 16GB max. ;)
@2GuysTek 11 ай бұрын
Had to do a double-check! The NAS specs claim 32GB (www.terra-master.com/global/products/f4-4528.html?page=menu&mid=1124) but you’re right, Intel ARK states 16GB is max (www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/212322/intel-celeron-processor-n5095-4m-cache-up-to-2-90-ghz/specifications.html)! Great catch and yet another reason not to get the unit!

32gb does actually work fine. I've been running unraid on mine since I got it with 32gb and haven't had any problems. Ran memtest for several hours prior to getting everything going. The main thing though is that with me using this as a jellyfin server I'm never going to use anywhere near all of that ram.

Interesting. Perhaps Intel is being conservative on specs. Wouldn't be too surprising, actually. @@carth85

@@2GuysTek Intel wrote the max. RAM when SO-DIMMs with more than 16GB doesn't exists and didn't update their web-site. The Processor can handle 48GB - theoretically because 48GB single modules doesn't exists.
