Pros & Cons
Pros
It does the base job of delivering a samba share on a window network veg efficiently. It supports btrfs and ext4, and also on disk encryption for individual shares. The app store is plentiful and device can support docker which allows you to run apps ... Read More
Software is easy to use and very intuitive with all the functionality one would expect. The permissions management functionality is really nice.
Overall, massively impressed. The lan port is a gigabit which is great and using a good quality lan cable gives you light fast speeds. Luckily after the inital backup the data is only then incremental changes so complete much quicker.
There was no resistance, arduous paperwork, or protracted troubleshooting stages. Runs very quiet, even when accessing data. It works very well snd is quiet.
How a business responds to these situations distinguishes it from competitors. Terramaster's top-notch customer service and warranty reaffirmed my faith in the company.
Cons
The app for iphone is just unbelievable, it simply crashes and asks for a login, and dysfunctional (please see app review if you are an iphone user). Tried many times to get help from terramaster but to no avail. Tried restarting it. Also only used sm... Read More
Terramaster should be ashamed for selling this. Amazon deserves credit as they refunded it after i explained the situation. However, i returned it (yet the return is not complete so is the refund) very disappointing and resulted in me having to return... Read More
The nas has a horrible, tacky raid controller that barely copes with a couple hundred gig of data. Network speed is abysmal, os is a horrible knock-off of synology's and most features of don't work on this version. My 24tb of data is not accessible ri... Read More
The on off switch on the front seems to be for decoration because no matter how many times i press it in varying lengths of time it does diddly squat. Seems you have to pull the power lead to restart it.

Easy to set up and happy with the price.
Competitiveness
It's a nice looking device - the black casing looks must better than the white that terramaster have traditionally used.
If you have any expectations beyond network storage, you may be better with either a bigger terramaster device or a synology, q... Read More

However with only 1gb of memory which is not upgradeable the ability to take advantage of all the features the tos 5 opetaing system includes particularly the use of the many apps that are available will be somewhat limited

Setup was easy i let the nas set itself up to a configuration terramaster have deemed optimum for a home setup

This left some important things not done like switching on the firewall and some of the settings could do with a but more explanation and the usermanual is not great

With the firewall the settings have lots of acronyms with no definitions so you have to guess what you may want to block and then it gives you an ominous warning just before you apply the new settings that a mistake can result in you being unable to access the nas

A bit of a concern for a user probably new to things like this as that is who this nas is aimed at

I think it would struggle with running a vpn or any server activity beyond storage but i wont be testing it in that way
