$380 2-Bay (+2-NVME) NAS: TerraMaster F2-424 Review
In this video I’ll take a look at the TerraMaster F2-424 NAS.
This is a 2-bay NAS that supports 2x 2.5 or 3.5 HDD or SSDs as well as 2x NVMe SSDs.
We’ll go through the setup process, build a TRAID pool, install apps and do some benchmarking.

I think it's good that it kicks out another admin login session. It's supposed to just be a dashboard to set up and test the services, not a place through which you use them.
Don't you need to read the operation instructions provided by the manufacturer before starting to use it?
Your "bandwidth" is 5 gigabit, which is 2.5 GBex2. Think of it it like adding another lane to the highway and you don't get any faster by driving in the center of the lane. It adds redundancy and another lane, that's it. SMB multipath without any LAGG would allow you to get better performance than LAGG, actually. Terramaster also lets you install your own OS, just pop out that old USB and throw in another USB and it will boot right up into the OS. Pretty sure you can also install to the nvme's and boot from either of them as well if the OS you want to use doesn't like USB drives for boot drives.
just another chinese junk
Guess if you leave the covers off you can install extra sata ports in the m.2 slots and have more hdds but that would be silly. Just buy a bigger enclosure with more bays.
I think channel bonding is different from link aggregation where you can transfer two things at once – both at 2.5gbs but not one at 5
I guess you can manually install your own docker images like jellyfin. I prefer immich over photoprism which is too restrictive on the free version. Immich is made by futo team that make the grayjay android app (Louis Rossiman)
This seems to be a very small corner of the market that they are catering this to. I don't know anyone who needs something like this that a SSD in an enclosure can't do.
Intro looks great!
I thought LAGG doesn't multiply the bandwidth by the number of links, but instead provides full single link bandwidth to multiple clients simultaneously (in this case 2 clients should receive full 2.5Gbps simultaneous).
Thank you for the review, very complete!
