Review: A tad cheap & cheerful - but it works! - If you want a cheap and cheerful small "home" NAS then perhaps, this one may be for you - just be aware of the limitations! But, you do get a lot of NAS for your money with some surprisingly advanced features. We already have 2 TerraMaster NAS devices at home - one as a family media server (8Tb, RAID-1) and another for my small business (4Tb, RAID-1). Initially, they backed up each other. But, as disk occupancy grew, I decided to have a separate dedicated backup server. **NOTE** Disk occupancy over 70% can start to severely impact performance (depending on the nature of the data and how often it is accessed). As a rule of thumb, I try and stay below 50% - it's better to be safe than sorry! I initially considered USB devices but found I would need 2 (given the cable constraints). Also, I wanted any backup device to be in a separate room. As such, I opted for this NAS - which I have located in our cellar - but on the same gigabit network segment. This NAS has a plastic case making it somewhat larger than my older aluminium devices. However, it is also quieter as a result. I use Toshiba N300 "NAS" HDDs which are rather noisy but at 7200 rpm, quicker than most other similar drives. 3.5" drives are installed without the need for any screws (just plastic clips). The screws provided are for installing any 2.5" devices. The On/Off switch and all ports are located on the rear of the device - which can be inconvenient if space is limited. I would prefer the on/off switch and one of the USB ports to be on the front panel. I am TerraMaster "foible" aware by now! I have recently upgraded the older devices to TOS 5.1 (increasing each system partition to 8Gb in the process). As such, setup of this device was straightforward - I created a 16Tb RAID-1 array, set up some appropriare shared folders and enabled Rsynch Server in Control Panel/File Services. I then created Rsynch Server backup jobs on the other 2 NAS devices. Simple and it all works a treat - and surprisingly quickly! The memory on this F2-212 is limited to 1Gb and, alas, it cannot be upgraded - which will probably be a handicap for some users. In our Simple setup, everything works fine as I have not installed any applications. During backups, both CPU and memory utilisation remain relatively low. Both our other NAS devices run a variety of apps including PLEX and each has 8Gb of memory installed. Unfortunately, no antivirus app is available for this device - presumably because it's ARM rather than Intel CPU based. Hopefully, TerraMaster will rectify that omission soon. As such, I have isolated the device from all internet access via Control Panel/Security and thereby also dodged having to set firewall rules.. As is well documented, TerraMaster software and apps can be annoying - but I can usually sort out any issues by looking at the user forums. To be fair, TerraMaster support normally give a reasonable overnight response to an email request. So be aware of the limitations of this device - and don't expect too much. As I said above, it is a tad cheap and cheerful. It is also, surprisingly good value for money, thus far totally reliable, and I am rather chuffed! 😄😄
Review: Terrible NAS - Where do i start... the NAS itself is well presented, the material looks and feel premium so my expectation were quite high. I'm not shy at the terminal, I work in IT since nearly 38 years and I've built and currently use a NAS based on Linux that serve me well. I needed an additional small NAS, well packaged that would be good on electricity consumption and reasonable 'fast'. I bought this Terramaster F2-210 after reading various (positive review); I was planning to use this NAS only with 1 disk (so no RAID etc) just for the purpose of storing few files. The installation went well, nothing difficult to be honest. The problem started when I tried to backup few files (circa 50 GB from my PC); after a while (ie like 30 seconds) that the backup was running (at a reasonable speed, around 110 MB/s) the connection broke; after a quick investigation (using the Terminal and connecting to the Terramaster shell) I discovered that... the NAS was OUT OF MEMORY and the only way to recover was to reboot the NAS. I thought that it would be a sporadic case so... I re-attempted the copy and... same result. OUT OF MEMORY. What does this means? It means that if you try to do any kind of backup (which is a bit more of few Mbytes) you will NEVER be able to do that. The Hardware is painfully undersized. To be honest I can't be bother to send it back but this is definitely the first and LAST Terramaster piece of.. hardware that I will ever buy. (Please take a look to the Terramaster Forum to get a taste of the quality of these products). Never ever again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great home NAS for the price.
*by K***E on 19 April 2019*

Hardware: The case is a single piece of aluminum with caps made of plastic at the ends.The plastic however matches nicely with the aluminum and the overall look is good and sleek reminiscent of another company products which rock astronomical prices and overcharges. Hard drives are easy to fit and snap securely in place with reassuring feel to the mechanism. On the back you will find 2 USB3 ports quite handy for transfer of data using usb external drives. The Lan port is a gigabit which is great and using a good quality lan cable gives you light fast speeds. The fan is quiet enough not to be noticed and chances are you will hear the hard drives before you hear the fan. It came with screws and screwdriver all ready to install the HDD. The power brick comes with bot UK and Europe leads which is great. Software: The software is fast and intuitive with easy to access web interface. You have the option of installing a vast selection of FOSS which should fit most needs. In my case I'm running plex server for streaming media around the house and a web server for various development projects. The machine handles both well and I haven't noticed any problems with it so far. It is de-facto a small but powerful enough server which can be used both as media server and testing environment for projects. Help files are available in several languages and are good enough to get you going. Value/Money: At the time of purchase £139.99 is practically unbeatable. Overall: Easy to set up and use. Nice looking and quiet. Low power consumption. Very good value for the price. Ideal solution for home use. Note that any NAS is only as good as the hard drives you install in it so it's a good idea to invest the saved money in quality hard drives.
