Highlights
Quality
Fairly easy to work with, pretty well built as well.
File storageas a file storage solution, the f4-423 excels in reliability and speed.
I think this nas should be able to handle anything i throw at it due to its specs and upgradable ram.
This is actually a good thing, because if the device is stolen, the data will be inaccessible.
Price
And at the time you could not beat it for the price.
Overall this is a great value and i plan to add a d6-230 das to the system to give me an extra 6 bays of storage.

Packaging/appearance
Though the hard drive i bought on the same order came in a paperbag, the nas was packed very well.
Competitiveness
Beyond plex, i use the f4-423 for various other tasks, including file sharing and docker containers.
It was between the terramaster, synology, and qnap, even looked at the ugreen as well.
I wanted to get a nas to act as my plex server for the lower power consumption compared to a full fat desktop and to provide a ... Read More
I have an aversion to companies who want to limit my choices, and terramaster is not like that.

Everything worked fine but the backup time was very slow on unraid
