TerraMaster F8-SSD Plus, A NAS That Goes Faster Than NASCAR
10GbE Connectivity And All Flash
The TerraMaster F8-SSD Plus will cost you a bit but if you need serious bandwidth it is a great solution. The 10GbE Ethernet is fed by up to eight M.2 PCIe Gen3 1x SSDs, or you can connect via USB 3.2 Gen2 if you are close to the NAS. With that many SSDs, even 10GbE ends up being the bottleneck. To put the Plus in the F8-SSD Plus, TerraMaster installed an Intel Core i3-N305 8-core CPU, much more capable than the Intel N5105 and N6005 often found in competitor’s NAS devices.
To save you a bit of money, TerraMaster included eight SSD heatsinks so you can pick up drives which don’t come with them included, and they easily attach with included rubber bands. ServeTheHome populated the NAS with some inexpensive SSDs and tested it out, get the full details here.
From a power, noise, and feature perspective, TerraMaster has a great product. There are certainly some quirks to this 10GbE 8x M.2 NAS that we are going to get into in this review, as in we have an entire page dedicated to something we ran into. There is a lot to cover, so let us get to it.
