How to Update TerraMaster NAS TOS 6 Operating System

How to Update TerraMaster NAS TOS 6 Operating System @vexpert @terramasters #vmwarecommunities #terramasternas #sharedstorage #vmwaresharedstorage #proxmoxsharedstorage #iscsi

If you are running a TerraMaster TOS-powered NAS device (I am now running the TerraMaster F8 SSD Plus unit), you will likely need to update the TOS operating system on your Terramaster when updates come along. I wanted to show you the process of updating your TerraMaster NAS OS and the steps involved to Update TerraMaster NAS TOS 6 and considerations you will want to make. Considerations before…

This video makes an interesting argument for HexOS which I briefly discussed in a previous post that this is the OS for those who don't want to tinker but could use a home server. The example case was a friend who runs a Plex server on a Mac Mini–that HexOS might be a better answer.

The Flaw

I think the flaw here is: if you need something like HexOS to make the idea of a home server a good one–then you are not the market for a home server. You are better off using something like a Synology or Terramaster product etc do the same work.

There are people who should get home servers for their home labs and I suspect that the overlap is almost zero with HexOS. I think this is just sort of the flaw with a product like HexOS. I am paying for software to run on hardware that I am only marginally likely to own or want to own. This paints the picture that the real market is those who have the hardware already and just want to simplify things–which again I think is pretty small.

Furthermore, I would suspect anyone who actually needs a home server is going to find this product quite expensive given that it is just software. As an example: at $199 you are roughly a third of the way to a diskless Synology DS923+ box. Given that with HexOS you will need some good hardware for the underlying ZFS and TrueNAS requirements my guess is you will spend more money to get your relatively simple needs met–with less support and a no track record company.

Bottomline HexOS is in a tough market segment because they are software competing with the likes of Synology, Terramaster, Ugreen etc. Furthermore, the home server market is very specific in its general character and it is hard to see how HexOS changes the user base for the home server, or makes those users a better candidate for the home server vs what they likely already do or the normal argument for something like a standard NAS option.

Dopo anni passati a lottare con i tempi di attesa dei dischi meccanici tradizionali, ho finalmente deciso di fare il salto verso un NAS all-flash. La scelta è ricaduta sul TerraMaster F4-SSD, un dispositivo che promette di rivoluzionare il workflow di chi, come me, lavora quotidianamente con file RAW pesanti e progetti video 4K. L'idea di avere un sistema storage completamente basato su SSD, silenzioso e performante, mi ha convinto a investire in questa soluzione che si posiziona in una fascia di mercato ancora relativamente di nicchia. Logicamente al momento il top a nostro avviso è il Terramaster F8 SSD PLUS. La promessa di TerraMaster è chiara: offrire ai creator 4K e ai fotografi professionisti un'alternativa ai classici NAS con dischi rotanti, eliminando i colli di bottiglia tipici dello storage tradizionale. Con un prezzo di 569 euro su Amazon Italia (venduto direttamente da TerraMaster EU Store), questo dispositivo si propone come una soluzione accessibile per chi vuole fare il salto verso lo storage all-flash senza svuotare il portafoglio. Durante le mie due settimane di test intensivi, ho sottoposto l'F4-SSD a carichi di lavoro reali che rappresentano il quotidiano di uno studio fotografico moderno: dall'ingest di migliaia di RAW, all'editing multicamera in DaVinci Resolve, passando per backup Time Machine e container Docker per la gestione delle foto. Design e qualità costruttiva Il primo impatto con il TerraMaster F4-SSD è sorprendente: le dimensioni compatte (225 × 136 × 166 mm) lo rendono incredibilmente discreto sulla scrivania. Il peso di soli 2,2 kg senza dischi testimonia l'attenzione alla portabilità, caratteristica non scontata in un NAS a 4 vani. Lo chassis in alluminio spazzolato non è solo un vezzo estetico: contribuisce attivamente alla dissipazione del calore, elemento cruciale quando si lavora con SSD ad alte prestazioni. L'F4-SSD utilizza slot M.2 interni per gli SSD NVMe, accessibili rimuovendo il pannello posteriore con una semplice vite thumbscrew. I quattro slot sono chiaramente contrassegnati (PCIe 3.0 x1 o x2) e l'installazione richiede solo il fissaggio con le piccole viti M.2 incluse. TerraMaster fornisce alcune viti di ricambio nel caso se ne perdesse qualcuna durante l'installazione. La qualità costruttiva è eccellente, con un telaio interno in metallo che garantisce rigidità strutturale. Lo slot aggiuntivo M.2 per la cache NVMe è facilmente accessibile e ben posizionato per garantire un'adeguata dissipazione termica. La ventola singola da 80 mm PWM è posizionata sul retro e, grazie al controllo intelligente della velocità, mantiene temperature ottimali senza diventare invadente. Il pannello frontale minimalista presenta solo i LED di stato essenziali: alimentazione, attività di rete e stato dei quattro drive. Sul retro troviamo la dotazione di porte: due connettori 2,5 GbE Intel I225-V con supporto per link aggregation, due porte USB-C 10 Gb/s e una USB-A 5 Gb/s. La scelta di includere due porte di rete veloci dimostra l'attenzione di TerraMaster verso l'uso professionale del dispositivo.

Additionally, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro supports LDAP and the Windows AD domain, which makes it easier to integrate business users’ current IT environments and boosts management effectiveness. The F4-424 Pro can meet business users’ extensive needs for data security and interdepartmental collaboration because it has permission management at the user, user group, and file directory levels.

TerraMaster F4 Comprehensive Backup Options

Because TOS integrates with multiple backup applications that can handle backup needs in a variety of circumstances, it can protect valuable data with visual user interfaces and reliable storage solutions.

Centralised Backup Data can be quickly restored following incidents when backups are started at the TNAS end for servers,virtual machines, staff PCs, and file servers.

AES 256 encryption, automatic account lockout, firewall, anti-DoS attack, and pam identity authentication are just a few of the systemic protections that TOS makes possible. As a result, it successfully lowers the likelihood that your devices may be attacked by malware.

Various Commercial Uses Business users can quickly and easily create file servers, mail servers, web servers, FTP servers, MySQL databases, CRM, Node.js, Java virtual machines, and many other services with TNAS, meeting the needs of numerous SMBs in industries like finance, education, consulting, scientific research, and law.

Replace Hard Drives More Easily Because of its tool-free hard disc tray design, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro eliminates the need for any tools when installing hard drives. Additionally, the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro has TerraMaster’s exclusive Push-Lock design, which locks the hard drive automatically upon insertion to stop it from falling out or becoming offline. Because they install in less than ten seconds, this makes it very convenient for users who need to replace hard discs frequently for data exchange.

M.2 SSD Installation Made Easy TerraMaster has specifically designed a side sliding cover for the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro chassis that can be pushed aside to install M.2 SSDs, making the installation process easier. Additionally, TerraMaster offers hand-tightened screws, which facilitate an SSD installation in just five seconds.

Improved Dissipation of Heat The intelligent temperature-controlled fan of the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro maintains ideal operating conditions by automatically modifying fan speed in response to hard disc temperature. For M.2 SSDs, it also features a special ventilation channel designed to support hybrid storage applications. Any M.2 SSD’s temperature can be maintained within a reasonable range even when operating at maximum capacity.

Reduced Noise Because of the unit’s close proximity to the user, it had to be designed to achieve significantly lower noise levels in order to comply with desktop product regulations. When reading or writing, the fast rotation of the discs and heads in HDDs causes audible vibrations. The whole noise may be amplified by these vibrations resonating with the product’s cavity. In order to combat this, Terra Master’s engineers have designed numerous unique sound-absorbing panels in the new structure to minimise noise in addition to adding more shock-absorbing measures. According to testing, the new generation of products achieves 50% lower noise levels than the previous generation, with only 21dB(A) of noise in standby mode!

Test parameters: 1.m test distance; 17.3dB(A) test environment noise; two SATA HDDs/SSDs in standby mode

Stress-free After-Sale Support With its distinctive “provides replacements within 2 years” after-sale policy in place, TerraMaster offers worry-free quality assurance via online customer support in real-time, a technical forum run by professionals, an online user manual, a technical service mailbox, and remote troubleshooting.

Network-Attached Storage Market Update: ASUSTOR, Terramaster, and QNAP Introduce New NAS Units

http://i.securitythinkingcap.com/T1KzTT

[tecnoandroidit]

Dopo aver messo alla prova F8‑SSD Plus e F4‑SSD ho deciso di testare anche TerraMaster D4-SSD un DAS davvero completo con velocità di scrittura e lettura davvero interessanti. Da anni, nel mio lavoro di recensore, ho visto i workflow dei professionisti della creatività trasformarsi radicalmente. L'era del 4K è ormai consolidata, mentre l'8K bussa prepotentemente alla porta. Se da un lato camere sempre più performanti ci regalano una qualità d'immagine sbalorditiva, dall'altro generano file di dimensioni colossali che mettono a dura prova qualsiasi anello della catena produttiva, specialmente in mobilità. Il mantra è sempre lo stesso: velocità, capacità, affidabilità. Ma come conciliare queste tre esigenze quando il nostro studio è uno zaino e la nostra scrivania il tavolino di un caffè o un sedile del treno? La risposta, per un numero crescente di videomaker, fotografi e producer, risiede in una categoria di prodotti specifica: i Directly Attached Storage (DAS) ad alte prestazioni. Non un hard disk esterno qualsiasi, ma un'unità multi-vano pensata per offrire performance e ridondanza. È in questo scenario ad alta intensità che si inserisce il TerraMaster D4-SSD, un enclosure a quattro baie da 2,5 pollici che promette di condensare la potenza di un sistema RAID desktop in un formato compatto e trasportabile. La sua peculiarità, e il motivo principale del mio interesse, è l'adozione di un'interfaccia host USB-C 20 Gb/s (formalmente nota come USB 3.2 Gen 2x2) e la sua natura all-flash. Abbandonando i dischi meccanici in favore delle unità a stato solido (SSD), il D4-SSD si propone come la soluzione definitiva per chi necessita di trasferire e lavorare centinaia di gigabyte di girato direttamente sul campo, senza colli di bottiglia. L'idea di un workflow 4K mobile realmente fluido, dove l'ingest, il montaggio e il backup avvengono su un unico dispositivo esterno veloce e sicuro, è sempre stata una sorta di Sacro Graal. Con questo prodotto, TerraMaster non solo tenta di raggiungerlo, ma lo fa a un prezzo che, sulla carta, sembra voler sfidare soluzioni Thunderbolt ben più blasonate e costose. Nei prossimi dieci giorni, metterò alla prova questa promessa, sottoponendo il D4-SSD a un carico di lavoro reale, dal set di una produzione video fino alla post-produzione, per capire se è davvero l'alleato che i creator in movimento stavano aspettando. Attualmente è disponibile direttamente sulla pagina ufficiale di Amazon Italia. Design e qualità costruttiva Appena estratto dalla confezione, il TerraMaster D4-SSD comunica una sensazione di solidità e professionalità. Il telaio principale è realizzato in un unico blocco di lega di alluminio spazzolato, una scelta che non solo conferisce un aspetto premium, in linea con l'estetica dei MacBook Pro a cui spesso si affiancherà, ma funge anche da enorme dissipatore passivo. La finitura argentata è elegante e resistente alle impronte digitali, un dettaglio non da poco per un dispositivo destinato a essere maneggiato di frequente. Con dimensioni di 136 × 225 × 166 mm e un peso a vuoto di 1,9 kg, non è un peso piuma, ma trasmette una rassicurante densità costruttiva. Una volta popolato con quattro SSD, il peso sale a circa 2,2 kg, un valore ancora accettabile per il trasporto in una borsa o in un trolley ben imbottito. La parte frontale è dominata dai quattro vani per gli SSD, protetti da uno sportello magnetico in plastica che, pur essendo l'elemento meno "premium" del lotto, svolge la sua funzione senza incertezze. Rimosso lo sportello, si accede alle slitte. TerraMaster ha optato per un sistema tool-less incredibilmente pratico: ogni slitta è dotata di una semplice levetta a molla che ne permette l'estrazione e l'inserimento con un gesto fluido e sicuro. Sotto i vani, una serie di cinque LED di stato fornisce informazioni a colpo d'occhio: uno per l'alimentazione generale e quattro individuali, uno per ciascun disco, che ne indicano l'attività (blu fisso per la presenza, blu lampeggiante per l'accesso). Il retro è il centro nevralgico del dispositivo. Qui troviamo l'imponente griglia della ventola da 80 mm, il connettore per l'alimentatore esterno da 60 W, il tasto di accensione, la porta USB-C da 20 Gb/s e, soprattutto, l'iconico selettore rotativo per la configurazione del RAID. Questo switch, signature di molti prodotti TerraMaster, permette di impostare la modalità operativa (JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10) in modo puramente hardware, senza la necessità di installare software specifici. Accanto allo switch, un piccolo pulsante "Set" incassato finalizza la selezione. Questa immediatezza è un punto a favore per chi lavora sul campo e non vuole perdere tempo in complesse configurazioni software.
