Terramaster f2-423 Memory Support

#1
Hello,

I wanted to you get your opinion/advice on this issue. It seems terramaster has removed support for ANY third party RAM with the latest TOS 5 update for the newer f2-423 models. The device will now only boot with their "oficially supported" ram which of course cost 4 times as much for the same spec RAM you can buy from a third party. Here are some links to their forum discussing.

I have recently been watching your videos and deciding what NAS to go with. I settled on the f2-423 and waited until Black Friday deals. I planned to upgrade the RAM in whichever NAS i went with since it is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade. The f2-423 went on sale today and i purchased it only to find out i now cannot upgrade it the way I wanted to.

I think this is a bad business practice and other should be aware.

The qnap ts-253d is also on sale. I am considering buying it despite no nvme slots and a weaker processor, for only $40 dollars less.. not sure what to do.

Thanks,
Tim

Yes, these are bad news. And people will stop buying their NAS for this reason.
