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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@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.

Not only that, you also mix F4-432 with F4-423 😉
Yikes!
When you were doing the speed test, was the newly created disk array sync complete? If not, this will impact storage performance.
Great question! The array100% was in sync. Thanks for the question!
Question, which nas is better

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

@@2GuysTek okay Bet! appreciate that response 👌

Couldn't have said it better myself!
How is it for use as a Plex Media Server?
Check out new videos for it, seems like it works like a charm.

As a chassis it does a great job!
can you passthrough the gpu on Unraid?
What is the bottleneck of the nvme performance, is that software Related, bios or hardware?
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.
@@2GuysTek Did you go back to TerraMaster with the results and ask for their comments?
23... 32?
MEE! First !! Nice work !!
you keep saying 432 and showing a 423
absolute garbage machine, cant even get it set up, and there helpdesk was useless!.
Expandable to 32gb RAM? Intel's own specs for that SoC says 16GB max. ;)

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