Review: Excellent NAS, small form factor but very capable - This thing is absolutely awesome! I started with wanted to build a local Plex server, but that's turned into other home server projects (e.g. Immich for image backup) and running a Home Assistant server, it's worked so well for everything I throw at it. It's addicting to play with. The integrated Intel graphics seems to work well for Plex transcoding, from my experience (even from 4k files, etc). I swapped the OS to Unraid like another reviewer mentioned, I do recommend this, Unraid works very well and a quick Google search will give you clear directions how to do this (it was easy). I upgraded RAM & added NVME drives too (easy). The 10G ethernet is a nice touch, and works well with a USB-based UPS battery backup (I chose an APC UPS). My use case unfortunately didn't allow for a large custom server build (I was looking at Fractal cases to build from scratch), or server rack type cases - I just don't have the room. If you're space constrained like me, this form factor is perfect. Even if not, the small size + easy hard drive installation is appealing over custom builds. THANK YOU TERRAMASTER for making this, I think you're filling a void Synology seems to be leaving behind (moving from Intel to AMD processors)
Review: Works with Unraid - I've seen lots of complaints about Terramaster's OS (both in desertcart reviews and on places like Reddit), so I was almost put off of buying this device. But in terms of the specs of the F4-424 Pro compared to its price, no other NAS offers a better bang for your buck. Luckily, I found a helpful YouTube video explaining how to install Unraid on a Terramaster NAS, so I picked this up as an upgrade to my QNAP TS-251+. Accessing the boot USB slot on the F4-424 Pro involved removing two screws from the back of the case, sliding off the side panel, then removing the four screws holding the motherboard in place. Doing so allowed me to swap the preinstalled flash drive for a flash drive with an install of Unraid. I will note, I had to buy a Sandisk Ultrafit to create the Unraid boot drive, as the clearance between the USB slot on the board and the NAS enclosure is quite small (even my Samsung FIT was a bit too tall). For Unraid, you'll want to get a USB drive of 32 GB or smaller. You can get a larger flash drive, but you'll need to format it down to 32 GB (from what I understand about Unraid). Also, Unraid's USB boot drive creation tool displayed my Sandisk drive as "incompatible", but using the manual Unraid boot disk creation process worked just fine. I've had the Terramaster F4-424 Pro running Unraid for almost a week now, and everything is working great. I've got three drives (a 12TB, an 8TB, and a 4TB), with another 12TB on the way. Unraid isn't the most user-friendly NAS solution for beginners, but videos from YouTubers like NASCompares (who hosts the tutorial on installing Unraid on a Terramaster device) and Spaceinvader One (an Unraid guru with tutorials on everything Unraid-related) have been extremely helpful and have allowed me to migrate my data from external flash drives and my existing NAS. They also have guides for setting up popular apps like PLEX, which is working great. I haven't yet allowed remote access to my PLEX server, but allowing my parents to stream PLEX in HD was another motivator for upgrading to a beefier NAS. In theory, the device specs suggest they should have no issues, but I'll report back after everything is completely set up. UPDATE: Remote Access to PLEX is working great. I had my parents and a friend both streaming 1080p remotely while I was streaming 4K HDR in the home, and the CPU was rarely getting over 50% load. So, can confirm that the F4-424 Pro is great for PLEX, both over your local network and remotely. So, if you're worried about the Terramaster OS (which, from what I've read, is continually getting better), just know that you can easily install Unraid. While Unraid might not be as easy out of the box as QNAP's or Synology's software, it only took me a few days to get the hang of things.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Price, Bit of a software mess
*by R***I on December 10, 2025*

As far as NAS devices go, this has been one of my favorite to work with. It was easy to setup and took my 20TB drives without any issue or fuss from the hardware or system. That's a huge plus given that the difficulties I have had with other NAS devices trying to take on drives of that size. It keeps the drive speeds consistent and with the dual network ports I have not had any traffic issues while trying to backup, move files, or even use files while files are moving. It is a bit noisy, but you will only really notice the sound if it's in the same room and things are on the quieter side. I placed it in my little home made network closet (my spare bedroom) and I never hear it unless I'm directly in there messing with it. I use it mainly for backing up my files and as a media server for my various medias acquired over the years. It can easily handle plex which works for my needs and all my devices in the house can connect to it easily providing I give it the right information. Where I have to ding the device though is with it's OS. It's a NAS so a Linux based OS is expected which I'm not the best with, but even with a good GUI and direct root access it feels a little rough to use and walk through. Getting the device turned on and established enough to connect to wasn't that hard and the instructions were pretty clear so that if you even have a little IT knowledge you can set it up and access it. Getting programs installed on the OS is pretty easy as it's a simple little "shop" where you can choose what programs you want installed and it does it for you. You still have to set them up, but as for installing on a Linux system this is pretty nice. However, that's where the ease stopped. I was able to work my way through the system and figure out how to setup the volumes for my HDDs and finally how to allocate the proper pools and folder structures under them after that. It was a bit of a challenge to figure out the proper way to setup the admin, users, and guest permissions, but once you figure out how to do one of them, it's easy to set them all. I still have yet figured out how to properly setup the external access part yet and am currently looking further into that so I can finally access my media when I'm away from home. I feel as though I was able to get through these steps as I have had prior Linux use, but I would definitely recommend some guides or youtube videos if you are unfamiliar with a Linux OS. There are some other NAS OS systems out there and those could be installed on this as well if you are more familiar with a different OS.
