CES 2020 has TerraMaster present the F5-422, a five-bay NAS with 10GbE ethernet connectivity powered by the Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core SoC (1.5-2.3GHz) together with 4GB of memory (expandable to 12GB).
The unit holds five 3.5/2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs, and supports a total of 80TB of storage. As a modern NAS, it handles various RAID modes, including RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10. Performance tops out at 670MB/s read and 650MB/s write with all drives running in RAID 5 mode. Meanwhile the TOS 4.1 OS supports SSD caching to accelerate I/O performance as well as multiple security layers, including clustered Btrfs file system, snapshots, AES hardware folder encryption, network transport encryption and scheduled backups (including cloud backups).
As well as the 10 GbE ethernet port the F5-422 includes two 1 GbE connectors, two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI output. It also carries live hardware transcoding of up to two concurrent 4K video streams, allowing for high-quality video playback to different devices, such as HDTVs, digital media players, mobile devices and PCs. Thus, it can serve as a means for customers to watch their multimedia library without need to install a 3rd party player.
The F5-422 is available now.
