The F2-424 will come with the new generation TOS 5.1 operating system and can be smoothly upgraded to the TerraMaster TOS 6 operating system in the nearly future. With its robust features and state-of-the-art technology, the F2-424 NAS redefines data storage and management for both personal and business users.
F2-424 Key Features
Faster Application Response
Featuring a more powerful CPU and DDR5 memory, the F2-424 represents a performance improvement of more than 140% on the previous generation. Application load times have increased by 90%, file and photo retrieval speed by 40%, database response speed by 50%, and the PHP response for web pages has seen a remarkable 60% improvement. Such enhanced performance enables seamless handling of high-load workflows.
Higher Transmission Speed
Configured with two 2.5 GbE interfaces, F2-424 supports a 2.5 GbE high-speed network bandwidth. The linear data transmission speed can reach 283 MB/s. Link Aggregation offers a network bandwidth up to 5 Gb, thereby providing a cost-effective solution for multi-user and high-concurrent file access.
Latest TOS System and Virtualized Applications
F2-424 runs on the latest TOS 5.1 and the coming TOS 6 system. The F2-424 satisfies virtualized application needs and provides additional functionality within one device with the use of professional virtualized apps, including VirtualBox and Docker, and by cooperating with Docker-compose and Portainer. This lowers the cost of corporate investment in IT.
Rich Backup Solutions
Centralized Backup, Duple Backup, Snapshot, CloudSync, TFM Backup, and more enhance the security of your data with multiple backup applications. And the F2-424 supports various RAID types, including RAID 0/1/JBOD/Single, and TRAID.

Easy M.2 SSD Installation
To facilitate the installation of M.2 SSDs, TerraMaster has specially designed a side sliding cover for the F2-424 chassis, which is simply pushed aside to install M.2 SSDs. TerraMaster also provides hand-tightened screws, making it easy to install an SSD within 5 seconds.
Less Noise
The F2-424 adopts TerraMaster’s new structure and achieves a noise level in standby mode of only 19dB(A), which is 50% lower than the previous generations.
In addition to the F2-424, the 424 series includes two other models, F4-424 (4-bay) and F4-424 Pro (4-bay), which are available worldwide. These cater to the demands of home users, SOHOs, and small businesses for high-performance NAS.
