Following the success of its F4-424 Pro NAS, Terramaster announced the launch of nine new “Powerful, Speedy, and Quiet” NAS devices including the eight-bay SSD high-speed silent-system F8 SSD Plus.

According to the company, the new lineup of NAS devices include the T12-500 Pro, T9-500 Pro, U12-500 Plus, U8-500 Plus, F4-424 Max, F6-424 Max, F6-424, F8 SSD, and F8 SSD Plus with prices ranging from $599 to $1,799 (hard drives not included) depending on which model you choose. The T and U systems are designed for larger scale business to be integrated as a backup server, where the F systems are designed for more pro/consumer level users who need powerful and fast Hybrid SATA/SSD or SSD only systems.

With the new lineup launch, TerraMaster has put a large amount of focus on its new F8 SSD Plus, which it boasts is a “groundbreaking drawer-type 8-bay all-SSD high-speed silent NAS that provides fast backup and data access in the palm of your hand.”

Additionally, the new mini-NAS system features a single 10GbE port “to meet high-performance requirements”, a three USB-3.2 (10Gps) ports (one of which is a USB-C type) that can connect seamlessly with additional TerraMaster NAS devices for “expanded storage” or simply with additional USB Storage devices. The company says “When paired with the TerraMaster D8 Hybrid, storage space can be extended by up to 128TB and cater to the ever-growing storage demands of every consumer.”

Like all of the new TerraMaster NAS systems, the F8 SSD NAS’ come preloaded with its TOS6 operating system which will allow users to not only manage their NAS but also the network, storage, permissions, media, as well as monitor the systems resources through a user-friendly, intuitive, and flat web interface or mobile app.
