Non Chinese options. - Enquiries - 11-25-2024 I will be using "TrueNAS Scale" so factory OS doesn't matter. I'm considering the "Terramaster F6-424 Max". I vastly preferred their "T" series form factor but found the "T6-423" specs lacking and the "T9-500 Pro" too expensive. So, I think I'm defaulting to buying the "F6-424 Max" right now. That being said, is there anything from a non-Chinese company (Taiwanese is fine) with similar specs and price point? RE: Non Chinese options. - ed - 11-28-2024 If you're considering TrueNAS Scale and don't mind a non-Chinese option, you might want to look into QNAP and ASUSTOR. Both are Taiwanese brands that offer excellent alternatives. QNAP TS-664: This model offers a similar 6-bay form factor, with great hardware specs and flexibility. It supports Intel Celeron processors, has PCIe slots for expansion (such as additional network cards or M.2 SSDs), and can handle TrueNAS Scale well. ASUSTOR Lockerstor 6 Gen2 (AS6706T): ASUSTOR also has a 6-bay NAS with powerful specs. The Lockerstor 6 Gen2 is priced similarly to the Terramaster F6-424 Max and offers great performance, as well as support for M.2 SSD caching and expansion cards. Both brands offer good quality, easy-to-use operating systems, and strong hardware, while being non-Chinese (Taiwanese). Depending on your needs for expandability, performance, and cost, these could be great alternatives. |
