First..thanx for the great and clearing explanations in your video's. Second ..i dont know why you say that the TM has a dated case and looks.?..... I think it looks fantastic and modern. The silver is great. Black casings i dont like. I want to use a nas for only one thing. To put on all my movies tv shows and music together on one device, and being able to watch and listen on all my pc's and tablet througout the house. Wired throug my 2.5 gig network. So the TM IS a great and less expencive alternatieve. Only the size of the case could be a little smaller. But that is not a deal breaker for me. Thanks for your great channel.l
The TerraMaster is basically an Intel NUC so you can install almost any OS to it. A great alternative to a custom DIY-NAS if you want the smallest footprint.
Connecting a NAS directly to the internet, geez. I've also come to realize that no matter how intuitive software is the best course is to read the documentation and plan the installation. The read twice, install once method, per se.
Question: would you be able to leave your Terramaster at home and go on a business trip and access it from a different country? I have a team of editors in different countries. Can they access the files online? I don't want them to access all the files, just the ones I want them to. Is there a way to limit their visibility? Looking forward to your answer. Thank you
I just bought the F4-423 - never used TOS and went straight to unraid ... changed the USB Stick in the unit to a unraid trial one. Changed some Bios-settings on the first boot. Put 2x16GB in - they run @ 2999 MHz + 2xM.2 as cache pool (BTRFS-Raid1). 2x18TB-Disks (xls) just finished parity after ~21h. 2 more disks are coming. Out of the box everything worked except CPU-temps readout...but i am investigating (disk and M.2 temps are working). Now busy with setting up the rest. Let's see how stable the system is after some weeks. I am testing now transfer speeds, rebuilding, installing containers.... So yes...500 USD for a small motherboard, processor plus backplane, 2xM.2 slots and 2x2,5GbE is a lot...but if you start at "nothing" and consider the ease of first setup + getting all components in these times...its cheap and in a very small external package + sipping power. CPU usage was 8-14% during Paritycheck @280MB/s...now ~3-4% ideling in WebGui. It was a promising start... but now i am of learning more and more things about unraid...one big plus so far is the community. I will test this for one month and decide to move it in production. I came from a DS107+ and later a DS414 that will be EOL soon - so I know what i need in terms of size and power. Synology was very good for many years of service with little to no hickups - but synologys more and more walled garden are not my thing. So it was time to change horses since i am on linux/windows anyway. There was also no point in waiting for DS422/423 whenever that would come out. Now was the time.
I think the Terramaster is going to be my next NAS. It's already cheaper than the DS920+ so lord knows how much more the 922 will be when (if?) it's ever released. 2x2.5GBps ports, better memory. Better processor. Better onboard graphics. Just 2 grey clouds; TOS5 release date and HD compatibility... I will say that the TOS5 live demo looks a lot like DSM in some places...
Hi @Robbie i got my DS920+ in june 2021 for £404.39 Good Price but its normaly a lot more i dont know why as they are not worth the money and as for a DS922+ or what ever the next one will be and will you have to get there memory and there drives to get your warranty this is not legal in most parts of the usa but for me its just immoral and a shady way to do Business as for the m.2`s not being able to use as raw storage .. end of rant :)
Beside of Hardware and simple file share you can't compare synology with TerraMaster.. The software library on synology is way in front of any other nas company
Really depends what your needs are - for most the vast synology catalogue is useless - for at company yes maybe they have some killer features, but I really dont see what they offer much more in the private/prosumer catagory anymore - except old hardware and more and more demands for using synology branded components (nvme etc)
I wrote to you previously about Synology vs QNAP tp replace an old Drobo. My needs are not immense but I need an enjoyable environment without the hard workout of the OS. I have just bought a 920+ on Friday and am having a great time going through the learning process. I am a software hobbit and DSM7.1 is keeping me happily occupied for some time to come. I did have a look at the 423 but the TOS with TRAID is still beta so that is not in the consideration. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

Several video's on TH-cam installing TrueNAS Scale on the TerraMaster, makes me very interested in the TerraMaster.
Isnt there a dsm Version for all pcs?
Great comparison, as always

Thanks. I’m still strongly leaning towards the 1520+
Qnap TS-644 is about to come out, something to consider.
Question: would you be able to leave your Terramaster at home and go on a business trip and access it from a different country?

+2 month review?
Any updates? Did you moved your terramaster to prod?
Do you still like your Terramaster with Unraid?

Have you done the DS920+ vs. the Asusstor Lockerstor 4 (AS6604T)?

I'd like Terramaster would be all black with side silver TerraMaster logo.
Buy a can of black of spray paint some masking tape from hardware store.

Thanks!!!
Great and very timely video.
I think we have a winner
Even it is old video, still it helped me to make decision , which one to go for. (no spoilers :) )
Don't know if I missed it, but any comments on the noise between the units?

I've had a 920+ and a 2 bay Terramaster for 2-3 years now and the short version of a longer story is that you made the right choice IMHO.
