Great all flash NAS. While TOS is not a mature as Synology offerings, it's an excellent device for the more advanced user. You can put Unraid on it or do most anything you want with Docker. I'm getting excellent transfer rates able to saturate a 10Gbps link. I saw another reviewer mentioned CloudSync was not working for them. Not sure the usecase, but I have cloudsync replicating with Dropbox for remote replica of my high value volume I've defined.

I wish there was 0 stars. It is a Horrible horrible customer service. Brand new device did not boot up out of the box. It goes into BIOS mode when i start the device.Reached out to customer support and got a response saying i should reached out to customer service. Then dead silence.Horrible experience

I would hope there's no tolls to pay to send and receive data to drives I put in this unit and also it's not tool free when you clearly show screws holding the m.2 SSDs that clearly require a screwdriver aka a tool

If you are looking for a secure NAS with a good software experience, this isn't it. The ToS operating system should be renamed to PoS instead, because the cloud sync doesn't work (won't sync root folders!), the distro of Linux this thing is based on has security issues, and the support is absolute garbage -- they make up excuses and incorrect responses to move you along.I just put Windows on mine. It's running relatively well. But that's not for the non-tech types. Basically, it comes down to being a very quiet PC with a lot of storage in it. Which works, spare the cost of a Windows license.

I’ve been using at home for mostly ProRes 4444 UHD files and it performs very well, allowing me to edit without lag. I get speeds close to the 10Gbps theoretical maximum. Getting cutting-edge drives isn’t necessary, the limit will be the network, not the SSDs.Over the first 90 days, I needed to power cycle one time when it dropped off the network. The web GUI is more than enough for what I need.In my opinion, the biggest perk is the exceptionally low power draw. This can be run on a very cheap UPS. It’s also quite small, it looks a lot like the classic WD My Book. It’s also pretty quiet, which is good because I’m sure a lot of SOHO users won’t want to upgrade their whole network to 10G.I’m sure this will be a popular way to manage very large files from cinema cameras on location and in studio. I’ll be recommending it for projects creating TBs of data daily.

I have had the F8 SSD Plus for about a month. I mainly use it as a Plex server, and Plex works flawlessly on this unit - it even does hw transcodes!One of the first things I did was upgrade the RAM to 48GB (with a Crucial RAM 48GB DDR5 5600MHz card); technically, this unit only supports 32 RAM, but the 48 GB seems to be working fine, so far.The next thing I did was replace the operating system - I played around with TOS for a bit, but I am used to Linux and the OS just seemed...foreign, to Linux, almost like it was wearing a skin suit of Linux. I oped to install TrueNAS Scale (which is Debian-based) and it works almost flawlessly - the only thing you gotta do to get it to work is go into the BIOS and change:Security → Secure Boot → Secure Boot → DisabledChipset → North Bridge → VT-d → DisabledOnce you change those BIOS settings, you can install TrueNAS Scale (be warned that turing off Secure Boot can potentially lead to security issues, but that is the only way you can install ANY another OS and imo TrueNAS Scale is worth it).The 8 bays for SSD are great, but it comes with a caveat - you will need one bay for the OS, and for both TOS _and_ TrueNAS Scale, that _entire_ SSD disk is used for the OS, and all other space on it is 'lost'. You have two options - simply buy a cheap 128GB SSD and use that for the OS, OR you can find out how to use the remainder of that space on the NAS. I didnt look into it for TOS, but I do know that can be done for TrueNAS Scale (although it requires editing some python scripts, currently).TL;DR The physical unit itself is great; I wasnt a fan of the installed operating system, but you can - with just a very minor bit of work - install another OS (I installed TrueNAS Scale, and I have seen others install Unraid or even Windows).I highly recommend this unit, especially if you are using this for something like a Plex server.

Using this for Plex and iSCSI, it's fast with a 10G NIC. I can saturate the link with this NAS. Fast, quiet, lightweight and portable if you need it to be. Turn off DoS protection to save yourself headaches with ICMP and Proxmox.

Extremely impressed with the speed and performance of this unit. For those looking to run movies and services off it, you will want the beefier CPU and more RAM to help transcode files as neccessary. The unit is silent and you'd never know it was there if you didn't see the green light ontop.Very happy with my purchase and know this is a rock solid device.

8bay is plenty. I just setup RAID 0 with 4nvme for now. No issues recognizing the drives. Intel N95 is quite fast for NAS usage. My drives are fast, so is the 10gbps LAN port. Basically everything is super fast with this NAS. The usb 3.2x2 ports are handy for connecting external drives and some accessories. I didn't connect anything extra yet. TNAS store has decent amount of plugins for extending the capabilities. The unit is very small indeed, makes it very portable. Build quality is also quite good. Overall very happy with the purchase. 8bay is very handy if you want to expand it. Although Terramaster says it can handle 32gb RAM, I wouldn't do that. According to Intel spec, N95 cpu can handle maximum of 16GB. While 32gb may be recognized by motherboard, the CPU won't take advantage of anything beyond 16gb as per spec. I plan on upgrading the ram to 16gb very soon. My usage is primarily just storage and sharing. I don't intent to host virtual machines on this. Very satisfied with it, I'd highly recommend it.
