PROS. Tiene un potente procesador, mucha memoria ram, espacio suficiente para almacenar, Codificación y uso de PLEX server. Tiene un puerto de 10 Gigabits
CONTRAS: Tienes que invertir en un disco duro, de preferencia SSD, para instalar las aplicaciones y posteriormente para almacenar. A comparación de otras mas amateurs como WD my cloud. Es básicamente para conectar y listo. En el caso de uso de PLEX a mi experiencia las pelÃculas 4K HDR, sino tienen codificaciones pueden stremearse a cualquier tele con las mismas prestaciones, no tienes que codificar nada. Ahora si tu biblioteca es 4K y quieres ver una pelÃcula en un Celular o una tele FULLHD, sacara todo el jugo este NAS, hasta 2 codificaciones al mismo tiempo. Pero sirve para bajar la calidad. Digamos que es cuestión de gusto y en el caso mÃo al tener todo en 4K solo me sirvió para poner potadas a las pelÃculas. Además hasta hace poco se logro poner la opción HDR en plex. Asà que aunque tuvieras unas caratulas, no servÃa de nada el HDR en la plataforma.
Sin duda algo que creo se tiene que tomar en cuenta. Para mis necesidades las NAS con 1 Gigabit de transferencia, sin codificar nada y con un buen MESH y un almacenamiento de 35 TB sigue siendo mi red de preferencia. Algún dÃa actualizaré mi red a 10 Gigabits pero no es el momento

After every few hundred gigs of disk writes, my NAS would stop letting PCs write to it. Some of the disks were noisy, but I've also been running 100% SSD for years, so I popped the disks out, and scanned them. First, SMART and dmesg (a Linux command with kernel output) showed nothing. I scanned all the disks from other computers, and popped them back in. FYI, you should do this before putting disks in any NAS anyway. The longest and most thorough tests showed no issues.
By this time, I had popped in the TerraMaster-branded 8GB RAM module. I wasn't using all much RAM, but I thought it would possibly fix the problem because of my large RAID 5 array. Nope. I made sure everything was backed up to a USB or my desktop, and prepared the unit for return.
READ THE STORIES ON TERRAMASTER'S FORUMS, and read the other reviews on Amazon and other places for other models. It will scare the $%&* out of you. I honestly thought this was associated with CoolerMaster because of the similarities in both name and logo.
If you absolutely end up buying one of these, I wouldn't put any sensitive data on it (I didn't). I just don't trust this company. Something feels fishy and off with the alpha quality feel of the OS.
Here's hoping that Amazon can practice some quality control with vendors, because anybody can sell anything on here, and there's no guarantee that it won't be third-rate garbage. Nothing felt better than sending this unit back, and I ponied up just a little bit more for a QNAP with 8 bays. If you care about your data, or you care about the time to start from scratch, look elsewhere.
TL;DR - Terramaster's DAS products have great reviews, but I wouldn't buy anything from them with an IP address

About the device itself, I had an issue with the installation but it got sorted out by a pro help. This device, TNAS as they would like to refer, I am using as a PLEX server to broadcast to my devices throughout my home and out. There are no hiccups as fas this device is concerned. Playing a 4K movie tends to buffer but it is not the issue of this device but rather my internet speed. This device came with 4GB of RAM and I upgraded with 8GB. Bit 4GB is sufficient if you want to use as Server and use the files on the run, obviously you will need good internet speed at both ends. I can say one thing about this device, very reliable and good specs. I wish I had opted for 4 bay or 5 bay version of this TNAS. I think
TerraMaster has good products and an even more good support system.

Set up: Super easy, i bearly had to input any information, it was 95% automated. The NAS comes with a QR code for the online instructions, which is web based, but super helpful and easy to use. It either asks you questions or tells you what to do, you hit "Next." and move on. Literally Plug the thing in, hook up the internet patch cable (I had to get a 5 port switch because its upstairs in my room, with my desktop) plug in the power, and you're ready to go. The set up process i YT'd it, just to make it easier, but its really step by step too. Usernames, passwords, it will format the drives to install the BTRFS file system. If you want to use it remotely, you just put your IP addres of the server (it will give you a pop up, say on your desktop when you log in that you can save for reference) Type that in Chrome, FF or whatever - and just log in. It just works.
Use: Install Plex for media Server, and some of the other ones like "Back up", Multimedia server, Adobe acrobat. One button installs, and very quick - very automated. You need to set up your public and private filesystem though, otherwise your public will be shared and you don't want your private stuff shared in that folder.
I only got one drive, its all i could afford now, just realize unless you partition 3 seperate partitions before installing it into the NAS it will take only one disk and format the whole thing as one partition (for RAID). But when you add new drives, it will automatically add them, and you can use RAID 5 or whatever. I have no back up since im using 1 drive. (Yet)
Very happy with this, the software - ease of use, noise level is fine (I have six Corsair 140 LL fans in my desktop, it's not anymore noisier than those, but they're also not at full speed, maybe 20% of max rpm.
Oh, FYI - the Ram module that comes up on Amazon for this specific brand, isn't shown to be compatible in the list. I emailed them, and asked a question on that sale page for the product, very quick response, but was lacking or didnt understand what i was referring too. I told them that the User manual (and online specifics) for the F4-422 said "upgrade able to 8gb ram" which is fine, but the manual says 4gb x 4gb configurations, but the manual says it only has 1 ram slot. By Default, there has to be two slots for a 4x4 configuration. 1 slot would be fine for 8gb stick, but they don't make those. It's either 2x2 or 4x4. Not a big deal, but just more curious. But that ram stick IS compatible with this.
Con: I only wished they had it in Black. It looks nice, but all my computer stuff is black, so this stands out a bit. I can paint it too after the warranty runs out.
