TERRAMASTER F2-425

5.6/10verdict: wait for deal

The TerraMaster F2-425 is for people who want a two-bay NAS with 2.5GbE for file storage, backups and light media serving. It suits buyers who will add their own SATA drives and run a few containers or a Plex server. It is less suited to anyone who needs more than two bays, M.2 cache or a lot of memory headroom.

5.1/10verdict: wait for deal

It suits buyers who will be happy with 8GB of fixed memory and a single 2.5GbE port. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs virtual machines, M.2 cache or Intel Quick Sync.
