The New NVMe SSD NAS in Town - TerraMaster F8 SSD Plus!

TerraMaster 2024's new NAS line includes this brand new F8 SSD Plus with slots for up to 8 NVMe M.2 SSDs at 8TB, which has a total capacity of 64TB. There's a lot to talk about hardware and TerraMaster brand new TOS 6, which is a drastic and welcome upgrade to their NAS software. Find out what I think about this NAS in the video.

It’s good to see you back, Art: you were missed during your break!

[johannguasch]

Great seeing you again! Waiting on your review of the SW242Q

[markbarnfield]

happy you are back, I just bought the BenQ PD2706UA, your videos were very helpful getting that calibrated

[LeightonDPhoto]

Thanks for this. I think it's exactly what I'm looking for. Welcome back!

Hi, welcome back!!!. This modality of M.2 NVME mini NASES are intriguing, like the one by QNAP, but I still believe (maybe a little old ) I like the idea of being able to change and add drivers from the front. I am dreaming to a normalization of the U.2 format.

Thanks for the video - I have installed the F8 SSD using two SSDs (4 TB and 2 TB) - as JBOD. I have attached the NAS to a MacStudio over a 10 Gb network. Spped Test shows similar speed like you have. Copying is already quite slow from within the network and the big disappointment is using it via Capture One: it looks like the RAW files would be on good old floppies. There must be something wrong there...

Thanks for the heads up on this NAS. Is there any way to contrast and compare some NVMe NAS offerings from TerraMaster, QNAP and say, Asustor? Also, which NVMe are likely to be a best bet for NAS use. I do have an NVMe NAS presently which works well for my purposes but the TerraMaster is far more how I would have designed such a unit save for the screws. Truly tool-less would have been great but not a deal breaker.

No Thunderbolt, no purchase. Das is best for video editing, not a Nas.
Thanks for the video!

Could you please verify the functionality of connecting three computers to the Terramaster F8 SSD Plus by utilizing each of its USB ports?

[furiousdoe]

A pity there is no TPC or TOS from Terra-Master for MAC OS . so what do you use instead. if you have the new MacMini and the D8 Hybrid...

[kuau]

Art can you post the link to which 3rd party heat sinks your using
Thanks

[FieldingSmith]

Hm... would need to check on some of the power requirements to see if it could run well off of DC or USB PD, but something like this could be great for RV/vanlife/nomad creators where the standard spinning drives are not an option.

[davidligon]

Nice, but I have no idea why these NAS, drives don’t include a 40Gb USB C connection.

Can you please do another video on how to calibrate the MacBook Pro M2 16 inch with a built in liquid retina XDR display newest version MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1. I am using the calibrate display plus HL. If you could I would be forever grateful. I've watched so many of your videos trying to figure this out I am a photographer trying to do professional wall art prints and the photos are coming back from the pro lab different than they are showing on my monitor. Thanks a ton for your consideration.

64TB not GB... in description.. great video

[gaboguerra]

Thanks for sharing. But is there one NAS for NMVe (and Raid) with Thunderbolt ??
I work with RAW video high end file for color correction and need the fastest MB/s possible, and big capacity.
Thanks

Can you review - Asustor Flashstor Gen 2 - when it is out?

[adityaraj]

Benq monitor side white colour and the screen show previous picture when the open moniter please reply me?

[macmcmillen]

As hot as NVMe's get, I can't see those rubber bands lasting too long. Not a great idea on TerraMaster's part, IMO.

[Urosaurus]

Thanks, the network is the new bottleneck.
