Terramaster OS is kind of garbage.
Terramaster OS is kind of garbage.
I agree with other commenters. Avoid the built in OS and use something else. If you don't have IT-like aptitude (lack of experience or interest), it's better to go with a Synology NAS. If you are comfortable installing OSes and doing at least minor technical support, there are many options.
TrueNAS is free but is somewhat challenging to set up. There are plenty of good guides, but it has a learning curve.
unRAID is easier to set up and manage, but it has a cost. You can try it out for free for 30 days. I used to run TrueNAS Scale and have tried other OSes, but settled on unRAID. I do have a couple Synology NASes as well, mostly for backups at this point.
CasaOS could be an option for some people. Openmediavault is another option. Or, you could install Windows or something else.
The synology unit has an extra bay, but the Terramaster seems to have much better hardware. If I get the Terramaster, I will probably install Unraid. That'll increase the cost, a bit, but then it's still in the same ball-park. I would have liked to have hardware Transcoding, but not sure if I'll use that much. I've moved to client-side decoding anyway (having a lifetime license to Infuse and Plex-pass). With Infuse one never needs hardware transcoding, but I don't want to tie myself in a corner.
I bought the DS1522+ just to reserve a unit since it was a lightening deal (it'll not ship immediately it seems, so I have time to cancel the order), but I'll decide today which one I want to buy. Any advice would be appreciated.
