F6-424 Max

6-Bay High Performance Hybrid NAS

Powerful, Whisper-Quiet, and Lightning-Fast

The F6-424 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 F6-424 Max can operate quietly while still delivering robust performance, offering a unique advantage as compared to existing products. 

The Quietest 6-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 F6-424 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 22dB(A). This exceptional sound management allows the F6-424 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.

20Gb Lightning-Fast Throughput

The F6-424 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 F6-424 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 F6-424 Max excels in terms of read/write performance for virtualization environments and database applications.

Versatile Storage Options, Configure as You Wish

The F6-424 Max offers a comprehensive range of storage configurations; in particular, it supports various RAID types, including Single, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. It can also utilize TerraMaster’s innovative flexible array (TRAID/TRAID+), which readily enables online capacity expansion, migration, and redundant disk configuration within the array. Users can create multiple storage spaces and choose between the ext4 or Btrfs file systems, based on their business needs. For added flexibility, the F6-424 Max can be paired with the TerraMaster USB DAS disk array to seamlessly expand storage capacity as needed.

Cross-Platform File Services

The F6-424 Max supports a wide range of mainstream file services, including SMB, SFTP/FTP, iSCSI, NFS, and WebDAV, thus fully meeting a plethora of cross-platform file service needs in various network environments. It is compatible with both the Windows AD domain and LDAP, making it easy to integrate into existing enterprise IT environments to improve management efficiency. Additionally, it offers multi-level permission management for users, user groups, and file directories, thus supporting comprehensive cross-department collaboration as well as meeting data security requirements for the most stringent of enterprises.

Virtualization Tools to Facilitate Every Project

By leveraging the virtualization tools and hybrid storage architecture of the TerraMaster Operating System (TOS), the F6-424 Max offers a range of exceptional advantages in terms of virtualization. The Docker Manager visualization tool makes managing containers and projects effortless, while VirtualBox support allows you to create a highly efficient virtualized environment that can enable new businesses to launch and become successfully operational in a very short time.

CloudSync Simplifies Your Workflow

With TerraMaster’s CloudSync, users can seamlessly link their cloud storage and NAS to facilitate the synchronized sharing of data. CloudSync consolidates various mainstream cloud synchronization functions (including those of Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, Baidu, and Alibaba Cloud), enabling users to simplify their workflows by managing all cloud synchronization requirements within a single application.

Multiple Commercial Applications

TNAS allows business users to easily build file servers, mail servers, web servers, FTP servers, MySQL databases, CRM, Node.js, Java VMs, and similar services, thereby satisfying the commercial requirements of various SMBs in diverse fields such as education, consulting, finance, scientific research, and law.

Easy Installation of M.2 SSDs

To facilitate the installation of M.2 SSDs, TerraMaster has designed a sliding side cover for the F6-424 Max chassis that may be simply pushed aside. The use of hand-tightened screws then makes it easy to install an SSD within 5 seconds.
