Remember when desktop 9-Bay NAS systems were not a thing? Yeah. It doesn’t seem to long ago that the paradigm of 2/4/8-Bay tower chassis was the status quo, yet over the last few years we have seen 5-Bay systems launch, 6-Bay systems flourish from all the established NAS brands and Terramaster continues to push forward with it’s growing range of 9-Bay tower devices. The new T9-450 is technically their 4th (really, their 3rd) and in the short time they have been in production, they have been very popular. Bringing a rackmount aesthetic and build quality to the humble desktop design we are used to, these were part of an arguably long-overdue chassis redesign by the brand! The T9-450 is possibly the most business/enterprise targetted entry into their tower NAS portfolio, arriving with a very different CPU than usual by the brand, tremendous network connectivity out the box, yet still attempting to hit a price point that flys way, way under the benchmark of their competitors at Synology and QNAP. This and the T9-450 arriving as an all in one hardware-software solution with TOS 5.1 included will definitely give businesses looking to store alot of data, but access it as quickly as possible, pause for thought! But is the Terramster T9-450 all hardware and no utility? Is it all sizzle and no sausage? Let’s review the T9-450 NAS and see if it deserves your data.

For the "dull" packaging, they definitely do the right thing to be honest. Printed glossy cardboard with shiny graphics isn't exactly recycling friendly :) I actually wish all packages were like that. Besides we just throw out the fancy box after a few days.

Thanks a really, really valid point you know! I will try to factor this in for future reviews. Thank you for sharing this insight bud!

Lol. Rack mount and it's using a Celeron. Bought a TVSH874 for my Plex server. Even though it's a core i5, it's no joke. It's all YOUR fault! YOU made me spend my money, twisting my arm putting that video out on it. Had me drooling all the time. Could have gotten a Core i9, but was so impressed with the i5 and how it owned the Jelly fish files.... Love your videos.

Apropos of nothing, you sir, have. 10/10 username!

Hello, I am also looking at the QNAP h874 NAS. What is experienced using the NAS? Did you add a 10Gbe nic and video card for Plex transcoding?

Good review. This is a time when Immutable OSes are coming to the fore it seems? Thank You.

@frankwong9486 11 ай бұрын

that two unused connector still exist there, possible share board design with the 12 bay version ？

Can you daisy chain 2 or more together to expand the 4 drives? Or do they sale more slots? Im backing up my blu ray and 4k collection to us with plex

Doesn't look like it has (or needs) much airflow through the unit. If it mattered, the heatsink would have been attached with the fins running front to back. As it is, it's rotated 90 degrees for best front-back cooling.

I see it has 2 more sas ports on the motherboard, are those live?

@tomsteenbakkers1264 6 ай бұрын

Can you install TrueNAS Scale on this, just like you can on the F2-423?

@gz-he3eu 11 ай бұрын

Will you review the DS423?

So what do you hate more? External rack mount PSU's ... or Seagulls?

@nascompares 11 ай бұрын

*checks notes* hmm *sees the word seagulls in capital letters and surrounded by expletives* ....tough one, that

Sorry for a late comment on this; but looking at this for Prime Day, I was curious is there an internal USB drive in there?(With the TOS Software) If so i might pick this up to try install UNRAID on a new drive and swap it out if possible. Main use case is for a low powered rack mount NAS to keep on for mounted storage and some small docker containers.

@tomsteenbakkers1264 6 ай бұрын

Did you managed to install UNRAID?

with the CPU being passive cooled the external brick is 100% because of heat. insane decision.

@truckerallikatuk 11 ай бұрын

Passive coolers are common in rackmounts, the case airflow is designed to put a hurricane in the case.

Close but no cigar. A single NVMe slot and all that space not being used for an internal power supply is just dumb. I'm still waiting for that ideal next-gen i3 or i5 with enough PCI4 lanes to run 4x NVMe slots (no SSDs needed or wanted, thank you).
