For those having boot issues with the TerraMaster devices... - The problem I found on m F4-423 was lingering EFI boot options for OS's I never installed (including Windows) - The solution: 1. With a Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse hooked up, boot a live linux distro ( Fedora 38 Workstation works well ) 2. Open Terminal 3. Become root: sudo -i 4. List existing EFI boot options: efibootmgr 5. Remove any/all OS entries that you're not using: efibootmgr -B -b 0000 - Where '0000' is the ID of the OS you want to remove. Example output from step 4: Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager ... Note the '0000' in 'Boot0000' -> This is the ID to use in step 5. Once this was complete, my unit boots reliably every time to the OS I'm actually using!

I built a NAS using a raspberry Pi 4 and a USB 3 dual dock. It did cost me $90 total as I reused leftover disks. Performances are below a dual 2.5 Gb Ethernet + Intel 4000 series equipment, but it fills its purpose as backup server. OMV is not usable (slow UI), so I use raw Samba. Another Raspberry Pi 4 serves as a TV recording NAS (Jellyfin) and struggles: transcoding is not usable. (It almost works after a software upgrade, so there is hope.) I don't use old PCs, even if cheaper, because of size, energy use and fan noise. I like the split since I have two network rings: an inner network for desktops with sensitive data (no WiFi), an outer network for home automation and entertainment. This to say that there is no hard rules, and going for cheap can be fun too.

Nononono, you're on to something there. And I hope Terramaster is listening! We used to put all kinds of drives and interfaces in an old SCSI drive chassis because the SCSI centronics 50 pin connector was bigger than anything else that we could just fit an interface board into the place the old centronics port lived. That's how Intel's been doing motherboards since the ATX family was introduced and even if Terramaster doesn't want to use e.g. mini-ITX, that's fine. Just make the next revision of these devices have an opening and an I/O plate on the motherboard and you'd be able to just upgrade their product to the latest and the top of their product line as it was upgraded. And um, that's even better because every time you have to basically e-waste an old product, you find yourself looking at its competition when buying the new one. Except if you've already got a possibly 8-bay chassis and a serviceable power supply of sufficient power, why would you buy that stuff again to switch brands if you were happy with what you had before? I'm sure their software serves a certain market just fine (or if it doesn't, as you said you can run whatever you want instead…) Lean into the fact that they've got conveniently the hardware you want at a good price.

I think this would be an excellent home user/entry level NAS with TrueNAS on it instead of the Terramaster OS. The 2 core version would directly compete with the TrueNAS Mini E+ at 1/4 the price, considering the N4505 isn't too far off of the C3558 in single core performance. The Quad core version looks like it would actually offer more CPU than the E+ in fact. Nobody wants to hear they've gone the wrong direction, but developing this device with TrueNAS Core or Scale and True Charts versions of the apps they offer would be a dynamite combination. It's a shame installing your own OS voids the warranty, it looks like a fun project.

In the USA, according to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 just cutting the pointless warranty void sticker cannot legally void a warranty in the USA. Laws in other countries will vary. Since they have to prove that what you did caused the issue I don't see how they can legally claim that just installing an alternate OS voids the warranty of the hardware. The most they could do is have you install their software for troubleshooting hardware issues. (Please note I am not a lawyer & this is not legal advice.)

I wouldn't be installing 32GB on this but doubling up the default memory to 8GB seems fine if you're good at stick matching (dual channel?) and just doing a pair of containers. The dual USB and 2.5GbE ports on the rear IO looks like a perfect staple for any grade of modern day NAS where you just plug it in and disks go brrrr. This is a perfect example of taking the low power silicon and putting it to work properly. Keep in mind, an Intel "Celeron" the n4505 is NOT eWaste. I do actual eWaste for my NAS and that cute Celeron runs circles around my Athlon 2650e at 2/3 TDP. I get that there's no point in comparing silicon from a decade ago but this really screams volumes to efficiency and power. Also utility. I can't do encoding at all. I can't do containers either. When I invoke some file grab over 10GbE, the CPU spikes North of 50% whereas this Terra should be in the single digits. It's really good. ✅ Maybe this should be an entry level NAS for people that don't have a 2nd computer?

Margins are low on the hardware-only product so they have to offer something unique or convenient. I think it's time to ditch the hard drives, especially for a small NAS. For 16TB usable space you need 2x 16TB HDD, @ $340 CAD each for IronWolf PRO 7200RPM, that's $680 for the media alone. Team Group 2TB SSD MP44L are $110 each, so ten (two extra for redundancy) costs $1100, or 62% more. That higher price buys you much better performance, with the HDD's capable of maybe 150 IOPS, the SSDs have tens or hundreds of thousands of IOPS. What's missing is a device with many PCIe lanes and a modern Ethernet interface. Four PCIe 4.0 lanes is 64Gbps, enough for dual 25GbE. A Ryzen 7000 has 28 PCIe lanes leaving 24 lanes for NVMe, and there are embedded EPYC or ARM CPUs with even more. The rule of thumb is 1Hz per bit, so 50 gigabit should require 12 4GHz cores to service the network (though modern CPUs might beat that). A high speed Ethernet switch might be something that could also be integrated. This just one specific example, the HDD $/TB can go down with wider RAID groups or ZFS VDEVs. Large amounts of cache can hide some of the HDD performance but that's more complexity that has to be automated if anybody is actually going to use it. Personally I use dozens of recycled HDD to get decent performance, but that has it's own costs in drive shelves and interconnects, as well as electricity. To summarize, SSD are still about 2.5x the cost per capacity of HDDs, but that gap is always closing, and it doesn't need to reach parity before SSDs are a better value for the small homelab NAS or SAN.

They already make bigger versions. They make 2,4,6,9,12,16 and 24 bay NAS devices. Some desktop and some rack mount devices. So the amount of bays is not the problem, the problem is the price. Because they include software, the price becomes too high. I would really like them to release their units without a software license, at a reduced price. Right now they cost the same as all other NAS brands, and since the software is really not that great, it's just not a good option.

@@RandomUser6947 Thank you vito, didn't know they made higher capacity. I just checked and the design changes on the 6+, maybe i saw them but was kinda thinking the same silver design of the smaller versions. Your idea about lower price without software license sounds great, personally I'm looking to see for a N100/N305 version on a 12bay.

i cant agree more to that. after watching this video i will sell my qnap stuff, and go for this hardware, or going one step up, using pc hardware. i would pay more for a software support of unraid or others, but i wont buy it if there is only the official way. i dont know what thei think. if you let the users use other software, they cant blame you for data loss! :-) whats the problem then?
