TerraMaster F5-422 5-bay NAS

crmaris · Jan 30, 2020

The TerraMaster F5-422 is a 5-bay NAS featuring one 10 GbE and two Gigabit ports. It achieves good throughput in multi-client scenarios, but IOPS performance could be better. It still is a solid, affordable choice for users who do not need the software packages other NAS vendors provide.

Great review, although it seems like it has too many oversights to make it worthwhile. Also I have no idea why Coolermaster haven't sued for that logo rip off!

True, the logo is identical to CM's. This is the first thing I noticed, the moment I saw it.

No EX-FAT support makes me sad.

How would you go about suing a Chinese company, especially when you're a Taiwanese company? China hates Taiwan (which is the "rebellious province", after all) and will happily allow anything that weakens their economy. Plus, suing a chinese company is close to impossible as it is, they built half of their economy on ignoring IP protection.

I wonder what is "professional" about this unit.
