The new TerraMaster F4-424 Pro – reportedly the most powerful 4-bay NAS available to date - is suitable for SMB users who need high-performance storage solutions.

It features the Intel Core i3 8-core 8-thread processor with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.8GHz, integrated Intel UHD Graphics card with a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.25GHz and supports AES NI hardware encryption. Equipped with 32GB DDR5 4800MHz memory, two 2.5G Ethernet ports, and built-in dual M.2 NVMe slots for SSD caching, it significantly boosts the storage efficiency of the disk array.

Featuring a more powerful CPU and DDR5 memory, the F4-424 Pro represents a performance improvement of more than 150% on the previous generation. Application load times have increased by 100%, file and photo retrieval speed by 45%, database response speed by 55%, and the PHP response for web pages has seen a 65% improvement.

The F4-424 Pro is configured with two 2.5 GbE interfaces, supporting a 2.5 GbE high-speed network bandwidth. The linear data transmission speed can reach 283 MB/s (Seagate IronWolf 18TB x 4, RAID 0). Link Aggregation offers a network bandwidth up to 5Gb, thereby providing a cost-effective solution for multi-user and high-concurrent file access.
