The F2-425 is TerraMaster's answer to the many ARM-based budget NAS boxes: it uses an Intel N5095 quad-core x86 processor with 4 GB of DDR4 and a 2.5GbE port at an entry-level price. That x86 chip matters for households that stream to TVs, because TerraMaster lists hardware H.265 decoding for Plex, Emby and Jellyfin, and an HDMI 2.0b port can feed a TV directly. TerraMaster's TRAID lets owners mix drive sizes, and the company quotes up to 60 TB. The TNAS Mobile app covers automatic photo backup, AI photo organization, secure vaults and share links with custom rules and expirations, and full Docker support opens the door to Home Assistant or Pi-hole. TerraMaster's own store listed it at $269.99, 10% off a regular $299.99, as of November 2026. Memory is limited to 4 GB, the warranty is 2 years, and TOS has a smaller app catalog than DSM.
