This is a NAS hamstrung by PCIe lanes. TerraMaster needed to break out of the bubble Intel created with the N305 and N350, but instead decided to extract the most from it. Compared to what others are offering at this price point, the F4-425 doesn’t quite cut it despite TOS 7.

Pros

  • +A more efficient CPU
  • +Three M.2 slots
  • +Dual 5GbE LAN
  • +TOS 7

Cons

  • -Maximum of 32GB of RAM
  • -Only Gen 3x1 M.2
  • -No 10GbE LAN port
  • -Lacks USB4 or Thunderbolt
