The TerraMaster NAS deals continue with this one that offers 6 SATA bays and 2 M.2 NVMe SSD slots if you're needing the extra space for all those East Digital drives. This one features the Intel N95 4 core, 4 thread at 3.4GHz, Intel UHD graphics, 8GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM (upgradeable to 32GB) and dual 2.5GbE LAN ports.

These are great for all the essentials including network storage with RAID redundancy, Plex/Jellyfin, Docker, video surveillance, syncing to OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox and more. For those who have used TerraMaster before, TOS6 is miles better than TOS5 found in the older models and you can easily install your own OS such as Unraid, Arc Loader (Xpenology), Windows and more.

Other features include USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps USB-A & USB-C ports and HDMI 2.0b (command input on TOS6 only, video output with other OS'). Due to CPU limitations both of the M.2 NVMe SSD slots are PCIe 3.0 x1 only.

Alternatively the F4-424 4 Bay NAS is available for $607.99.

    Read the reviews before you dive in people.. Not worth it for a n95..

      What on earth are you talking about you damp croissant? For a pre-built NAS at this price point, N95 is fantastic.
      If you went Synology you'd be looking at a Celeron J4125, which is Gemini Lake vs the N95 Alder Lake.
      If you went QNAP you'd get an ARM-based cpu which won't be as good for transcoding or any virtualisation you might want to do.
      And if you chose an Asustor you'd be getting a Celeron N5105 which is Jasper Lake, so at least newer than the Synology BUT you'd also have to pay an extra $400.

        What are you talking about yah wet biscuit? Did you even read the reviews? I didn't say buy a Synology, Qnap or even another brand.. I said the product is terrible.

        People that have bought this cant even get the network drivers working, they have read/write errors, the list goes on..

        • +4

          No you didn't. You said not worth it for a n95.
          Also, the product is fine, most of the negative reviews have come from people who were trying to run before they learned how to crawl.

          • @justchase: This made me look to see what was negative about it being an N95. Only one person pointing out that Intel documentation says it supports 16GB RAM only when in reality it supports 32GB. That's not a con 😂

            • @Clear: yeah, the other negatives are stuff like someone not knowing that system changes in *nix systems don't persist unless you explicitly write them to config. Well… RTFM

            • @Clear: Checked a review. The only real negatitve was the selection of the N95 over a more recent one like the N100. How much of a difference is the question. Probably not a lot. Only 8Gb , but that can be upgraded if needed.

              I have a n100 mini-pc with proxmox doing home server duty, so less of a need for the NAS to do the compute.

              This or a diy build in a similar form factor, the price may come out fairly close.

              • @tm32: At this price, I came out to $50 difference with comparable hardware. DIY is actually about $50 more expensive if you get an unraid licence.
                In terms of difference between the CPU's, the N100 is marginally better if you game on it (if you're gaming on either of these you're doing something wrong…). More noticeable is that the N100 uses half the power that the N95 does.
                … But the N95 is only pulling 12 watts… Plus the N95 actually has more robust heat management and can go flat chop for a bit longer. Realistically, they're damn near identical.

            @justchase: Hey I bought a N150, but I wouldn't pay close to $800 for it..
            I actually have 3 servers, Synology, N150 (ubuntu server) for travelling, a truenas n40l backup

            In the process of building a new custom server 8 bay that costs less than this but whatever man, go nuts and buy it

            • @BanannaMan: If we're going to start measuring e-peen then you're going to lose on that front - three servers doesn't even cover my networking stack… You can definitely build an 8-bay for cheaper, although not much cheaper.

              That being said, I've dealt with Amazon's return process and it was pretty easy. How do you think you'd go with Aliexpress?

              • @justchase: All purchased from Melbourne stores mate, wouldn't buy CPUs or Mainboard from Ali.. No hope

        A plus for both of you for the useful bants

  • I built the following 8 bay NAS for under $600 six months ago - I also don't think the above hardware is worth $800.

    Also I know it's a different CPU (even slower than the N95). I'm running DSM 7.2 on it (using auxxxilium boot) and I have the following dockers running in 16GB RAM: 'arrs suite' (Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, Readarr), jellyfin, jellyseer, grafana, scrutiny

    n5095 mini-itx NAS motherboard from ali express (12 SATA ports) - was about $180 AUD delivered from ALIEXPRESS.
    16GB Corsaire Vengeance DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM - amazon - $44
    Jonsbo N3 mini itx 8 bay NAS case - PLE - $229
    thermaltake toughpower SFX 550W PSU (total overkill for this) - PLE - $159
    6 x SATA thin cable ( ADCAUDX or similar) - amazon - just makes connecting SATA backplane to motherboard so much neater - $24

    With my 100/20 NBN I can usually have three family members watching NON-transcoded videos on my system with no throttling or buffering. Note that I rip my media and then encode it to HEVC myself, I keep the native DTS:X/atmos/whatever audio tracks for when I watch something locally and my AVR handles the decoding. When others watch stuff the audio tracks are transcoded to stereo AAC on the fly (as none of them have AVR or surround sound speaker setups).

    edit: newer versions of the NAS motherboard have N100 or N150 if you look around enough on aliexpress, also they have 2x 2.5GB and 10GB NICs onboard. Though they only have 6x SATA ports.
