Gold winner in Issue 733’s Cover Feature, TerraMaster’s F2-425 Plus offers superb performance, specifications and flexibility for a reasonable price. Powered by an Intel N150 processor and 8GB of RAM, it comfortably beat the other NAS drives in our read-write speed tests.
Two front-loading bays accommodate hard drives and are complemented by three M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs. This means you can set up RAID 5, 6 or even 10 (which requires at least four drives) for failsafe data protection and a maximum storage capacity of 84TB.
It’s ideal for home offices and households with lots of network-connected devices. It’s compact (152x125x206mm) and has three USB-A ports and one USB-C, which all support data-transfer speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second.
