The Samsung 990 EVO Plus is a high-performance SSD, and while it's a great option for tasks requiring heavy throughput, it might be overkill for your TERRAMASTER F4-424 unless you're planning to run high-performance workloads like a lot of virtual machines or intensive data operations that require extreme read/write speeds.

If you're mainly using the NAS for media storage, backup, and lighter tasks, a more budget-friendly option should work fine. Here are a couple of good alternatives to consider:

Crucial P5 Plus: Offers excellent performance for most NAS applications at a more reasonable price.
Kingston NV2: A more budget-friendly option with solid performance for general NAS tasks.
These would still give you good performance while not overspending for the extreme speeds the 990 EVO Plus offers. If you do plan on heavy workloads or running multiple VMs, the 990 EVO Plus might still be a good fit, but it’s more of a future-proof option than what you strictly need for everyday NAS use.
