Powerful and Whisper-Quiet, and Lightning-Fast

The F4-424 Max is equipped with a powerful 10-core 12-thread CPU, making it ideal for SMB users looking for high-performance storage solutions. The hybrid storage design combines mechanical hard drives and SSDs to utilize the provided 20Gb high-speed bandwidth, providing exceptional data throughput that can meet the most stringent customer demands. Additionally, the advanced noise reduction design ensures that the F4-424 Max can operate quietly while still delivering robust performance, offering a unique advantage as compared to existing products.

New Heights of Performance

The F4-424 Max surpasses its predecessor, the F4-424 Pro; this latest generation of 4-bay NAS clearly offers the strongest performance to date. It features an Intel Core i5 1235U 10-core 12-thread processor with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.4GHz, as well as integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics with a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.2GHz. It also supports AES NI hardware encryption. Supported by the inclusion of 8GB DDR5 4800MHz memory, two 10G Ethernet ports, and dual built-in M.2 NVMe slots that allow hyper caching, the new design significantly boosts the storage efficiency of the disk array, making the F4-424 Max an ideal high-performance storage solution for small and medium-sized business users engaged in both virtualization and database applications.

The Quietest 4-Bay Hybrid NAS

TerraMaster engineers have meticulously designed multiple shock-absorbing structures and employed a range of innovative noise-reduction measures to effectively reduce noise in use. The result of these enhancements is that the F4-424 Max remains both quiet and cool even under full loading. Rigorous testing confirms that this new generation product's noise level is 50% lower than that of the previous generation in operation, and in standby mode, it operates at just 21dB(A). This exceptional sound management allows the F4-424 Max to provide robust support for complex work while maintaining a tranquil office environment.

Testing conditions: Two SATA HDD/SSD in standby mode: ambient noise during testing of 17.3dB(A); testing distance: of 1 meter.

Faster Application Responses

With its powerful CPU and DDR5 memory, the F4-424 Max offers performance improvement of over 220% on that given by the previous generation. Application load times are improved by up to 160%, file and photo retrieval speed is decreased by 90%, database response speed is 100% better, and the PHP response for web pages offers a remarkable 110% improvement. Naturally, this enhanced performance enables seamless handling of high-load workflows.

20Gb Lightning-Fast Throughput

The F4-424 Max features two 10GbE copper cable Ethernet ports that offer up to 20Gbps in bandwidth for data transmission. In real-world scenarios, this, combined with SMB multichannel technology, allows the F4-424 Max to deliver impressive throughput performance, with linear write speeds up to 2090MB/s and exceptional 4K random read/write speeds reaching up to 400MB/s. This outstanding performance ensures smooth image and video read/write capabilities, which perfectly meet the needs of companies involved in areas such as film production, post-production, and design. Additionally, the F4-424 Max excels in terms of read/write performance for virtualization environments and database applications.
