Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum storage capacity supported by the TerraMaster F4-424?
The TerraMaster F4-424 supports up to 88TB of raw internal storage (4 x 22TB drives). Total usable capacity varies based on your chosen RAID configuration (e.g., TRAID, RAID 5, or RAID 10).
Can I upgrade the RAM on the TerraMaster F4-424?
Yes. The unit ships with 8GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM pre-installed and includes a SODIMM slot that supports memory upgrades up to 32GB DDR5 non-ECC memory.
How does M.2 NVMe SSD caching improve NAS performance?
The two built-in M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots allow you to set up read/write SSD caches or storage pools. This dramatically increases IOPS for database response speeds, file searches, and web application responsiveness.
What is TRAID and how does it compare to standard RAID?
TRAID (TerraMaster Flexible Array) automatically optimizes storage space, provides redundancy, and enables flexible expansion using hard drives of different capacities without wasting drive space like traditional RAID arrays.
Does the TerraMaster F4-424 support Docker and Virtualization?
Yes. Powered by the Intel N95 processor, the F4-424 natively supports Docker container deployment (via Portainer or Docker-Compose) and running virtual machines using VirtualBox within TOS.
