help TerraMaster F4-424 Pro FAQ
What processor does the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro use?
It is powered by an Intel Core i5-1235U, a 12th-generation 10-core mobile processor, which is a significant step up from the Celeron chips in earlier TerraMaster NAS units. The CPU also provides Intel Quick Sync for hardware-accelerated video transcoding in apps like Plex.
Can you install TrueNAS or Unraid on the F4-424 Pro?
Yes, in 2024 TerraMaster rolled out official support for installing TrueNAS SCALE and Unraid on the F4-424 series, replacing its proprietary TOS operating system. This lets users run community-favorite storage platforms while keeping warranty support.
Does the F4-424 Pro have M.2 NVMe slots?
Yes, it includes two M.2 2280 NVMe slots in addition to its four hot-swappable SATA bays. The NVMe drives can serve as SSD cache or as fast storage pools for VMs and containers.
What is the difference between the F4-424 Pro and the regular F4-424?
The key difference is networking, as the F4-424 Pro includes a 10GbE LAN port while the standard F4-424 tops out at 2.5GbE. Both share the Core i5-1235U CPU, four SATA bays, and dual M.2 slots, so the Pro is aimed at users with multi-gig or 10G networks.
