TerraMaster, a professional brand that specializes in providing innovative storage products for home, businesses and enterprises, proudly announces the redesigned and improved F8-422 model 8-Bay business NAS with built-in 10 GbE LAN. The redesigned F8-422 has a sleeker aluminium chassis without the top-mounted handles for space-conscious users. The built-in high-speed 10GBASE-T RJ45 port offers improved network performance and efficiency over 1GbE networking, a cost-saving upgrade to 10 GbE networking which won't require a 10 GbE NIC card upgrade.

The improved TerraMaster F8-422 NAS now has sleek aluminium housing offers both superb protection and cooling for the drives installed inside. Furthermore, the F8-422 comes equipped with two smart cooling fans that deliver efficient airflow to keep the drives cool at all times during operation. The improved and redesigned F8-422 is ideal for growing small- to medium-sized businesses and enterprise users that require high-speed, high-capacity NAS devices particularly with demanding professionals such as video editors, photographers, 3D animators, and other content creators.



High-Performance, High-Speed Configuration
Designed for businesses, the TerraMaster F8-422 is powered by an Intel Celeron J3455 1.50 GHz (2.30 GHz max boost) quad-core processor with 8 GB system memory, allowing the F8-422 to deliver speeds of up to 610 MB/s via 10 GbE networking using eight Seagate IronWolf 6 TB HDDs in RAID 5 configuration. The high-speed read and write make it ideal for professional content creators that handle large volume data.

The F8-422 with its 10GBASE-T RJ45 port offers 10X the bandwidth of 1 GbE ports and offers best-in-class speeds even without replacing existing Cat6/6A network cable architecture. It also supports multiple RAID modes including RAID 0, RAID1, RAID 5, RAID6, RAID 10, JBOD, and SINGLE.

New and Improved TOS 4.2
The redesigned and improved TerraMaster F8-422 8-bay NAS also takes advantage of the latest TOS 4.2 version featuring a fresh new interface and new features. TerraMaster added new user-friendly features including Web Server support, Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support, IPv4 and IPv6 support, improved security with SSL, improved support and monitoring, and other features.

Using TOS 4.2 allow builders to flexibly and easily manage multiple users, storage space, and security to give businesses optimized storage space management. Builders can setup configurable alert notifications making sure administrators are informed of the server status. TOS 4.2 also enables easier file management with its drag-and-drop upload support and web-based portal allowing users to manage TNAS via a web browser.

Centralized Storage with Extensive Backup Options
The TerraMaster F8-422 offers extensive backup options via the TOS system and access to different backup tools for centralized storage management. Backup options include AOMEI Backupper, Time Machine, Duple Backup, and others, with a wide selection of supported backup devices including TNAS devices, Cloud Storage, and USB storage. Backup prevents data loss and effectively reduces maintenance costs.

Flexible and Versatile
The TerraMaster F8-422 supports a wide selection of applications including helpful and free apps for your business.

This is a good PR, they release all this info with no images, tricking those interested to actually visit the product page, which has only 2 images and not any of whats been changed. :rolleyes:

$1,300 for a Celeron J3455?! Thanks, but no thanks.

I've actually seen worse, embedded systems often don't have a higher end CPU, they often don't need it due to hardware offloading.
 
I came here to argue with anyone who thinks SFP+ is a better 10GbE port, haha j/k

It's crap in a NAS like this, as the CPU can't do 10Gbps.

My asustor NAS has a 200mhz faster version of this CPU. At 2.5 Gbps I'm seeing roughly 15-20% utilization, and teh turbo never kicks in. I see no reason why this CPU couldnt handle 10 Gbps so long as it had adequate cooling for the CPU.

Sorry, but it can not. Please, at least read a review or two before making claims like that.
This is the five bay version with the same SoC and as you can see, it gets nowhere close to 10Gbps.

I can look at the NAS right beside me, thank you very much. And not a single NAS you linked gets close to 10Gbps in media creation, so what point are you trying to make here?

And if we look at the next page


Oh hey, look, it's hitting 10Gbps in file transfers. Please read a review or two before making claims like yours.

Dude, even TerraMaster says it can't hit 10Gbps speeds.
The TerraMaster F4-422 is dubbed a high-speed NAS by the company. It is outfitted with a quad-core processor and 10GbE onboard connectivity to deliver on its quoted 670MB/s speeds.

And your NAS clearly doesn't have 10Gbps, so what does that have to do with anything.
This is NOT a CPU utilization issue, the platform is simply not cut out to do 10Gbps.
