High-load workflows can be handled with ease thanks to this improved performance.
Faster Transmission Rate
With two 2.5 GbE interfaces installed, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro can support a high-speed network bandwidth of 2.5 GbE. 283 MB/s is the maximum linear data transmission speed (Seagate IronWolf 18TB x 4, RAID 0). Link Aggregation is a cost-effective solution for multi-user, high-concurrent file access because it provides a network bandwidth of up to 5 Gb.
Strong Multimedia Provider
In order to provide users with consistent, dependable entertainment, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro, equipped with 4K video decoding capabilities, is compatible with the uPnP/DLNA protocol and can stream videos to a variety of multimedia devices, such as computers, smartphones, media players, and televisions, through the use of TerraMaster’s in-house application Multimedia Server or one from a third party.
Adaptable Storage Setup
Multiple RAID types, including Single/RAID 0/1/5/6/10, are supported by the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro. It provides online migration and capacity expansion for various RAID types. The disc array can be set up for Hot Spare. Multiple storage spaces can be created with it, and BTRFS or ext 4 file systems can be chosen based on different business needs. Storage capacity can be expanded flexibly with the F4-424 Pro when used in conjunction with TerraMaster USB DAS devices.
Expert Operating System
The TerraMaster operating system, TOS, was created based on Linux and powers TNAS.Professional storage management functions like network management, permission management, storage management, and resource monitoring can be integrated via user-friendly, intuitive, and flat web interfaces. thanks to extensive research into the needs of various business users and the subsequent continued evolution of multiple TOS generations. Additionally, it offers hundreds of free apps on the app store.
File Services Across Platforms
The TerraMaster F4-424 Pro can effectively handle the cross-platform file service requirements of various network environments because it supports the majority of file services, including SMB, AFP, SFTP/FTP, iSCSI, NFS, and WebDAV. Additionally, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro supports LDAP and the Windows AD domain, which makes it easier to integrate business users’ current IT environments and boosts management effectiveness. The F4-424 Pro can meet business users’ extensive needs for data security and interdepartmental collaboration because it has permission management at the user, user group, and file directory levels.

Comprehensive Backup Options
Because TOS integrates with multiple backup applications that can handle backup needs in a variety of circumstances, it can protect valuable data with visual user interfaces and reliable storage solutions.
Centralised Backup
Data can be quickly restored following incidents when backups are started at the TNAS end for servers,virtual machines, staff PCs, and file servers.
Duple Backup
Duple Backup offers enhanced data protection by backing up files to a different remote TNAS, file server, or cloud drive in order to provide multiple offsite backup versions.
Snapshot
With the advanced storage technology and optimised snapshot technology made available by the BTRFS file system, you can enable the snapshot schedule to take continuous snapshots of your folders or iSCSI LUNs. Your data is well protected because the system can restore to the most recent backup and roll back to specific points in time when issues occur.
Cloud Sync
This synchronises or backs up TNAS data with the cloud drive, increasing cloud data availability and providing multiple offsite backup copies to protect your data security.
Applications in Virtualized Environments
By utilising professional virtualized applications like VirtualBox and Docker and collaborating with Docker-compose and Portainer, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro meets the demands of virtualized applications and offers extra functionality all within one device. As a result, corporate IT investment costs are reduced.
Protection of System Level Security
The system security of network devices security systems must address significant challenges due to an increase in cyberattacks. AES 256 encryption, automatic account lockout, firewall, anti-DoS attack, and pam identity authentication are just a few of the systemic protections that TOS makes possible. As a result, it successfully lowers the likelihood that your devices may be attacked by malware.
Various Commercial Uses
Business users can quickly and easily create file servers, mail servers, web servers, FTP servers, MySQL databases, CRM, Node.js, Java virtual machines, and many other services with TNAS, meeting the needs of numerous SMBs in industries like finance, education, consulting, scientific research, and law.
Replace Hard Drives More Easily
Because of its tool-free hard disc tray design, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro eliminates the need for any tools when installing hard drives. Additionally, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro has TerraMaster’s exclusive Push-Lock design, which locks the hard drive automatically upon insertion to stop it from falling out or becoming offline. Because they install in less than ten seconds, this makes it very convenient for users who need to replace hard discs frequently for data exchange.
M.2 SSD Installation Made Easy
TerraMaster has specifically designed a side sliding cover for the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro chassis that can be pushed aside to install M.2 SSDs, making the installation process easier. Additionally, TerraMaster offers hand-tightened screws, which facilitate an SSD installation in just five seconds.
Improved Dissipation of Heat
The intelligent temperature-controlled fan of the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro maintains ideal operating conditions by automatically modifying fan speed in response to hard disc temperature. For M.2 SSDs, it also features a special ventilation channel designed to support hybrid storage applications. Any M.2 SSD’s temperature can be maintained within a reasonable range even when operating at maximum capacity.
Reduced Noise
Because of the unit’s close proximity to the user, it had to be designed to achieve significantly lower noise levels in order to comply with desktop product regulations. When reading or writing, the fast rotation of the discs and heads in HDDs causes audible vibrations. The whole noise may be amplified by these vibrations resonating with the product’s cavity. In order to combat this, Terra Master’s engineers have designed numerous unique sound-absorbing panels in the new structure to minimise noise in addition to adding more shock-absorbing measures. According to testing, the new generation of products achieves 50% lower noise levels than the previous generation, with only 21dB(A) of noise in standby mode!
Test parameters: 1.m test distance; 17.3dB(A) test environment noise; two SATA HDDs/SSDs in standby mode
Stress-free After-Sale Support
With its distinctive “provides replacements within 2 years” after-sale policy in place, TerraMaster offers worry-free quality assurance via online customer support in real-time, a technical forum run by professionals, an online user manual, a technical service mailbox, and remote troubleshooting.
