TerraMaster F4-425 Pro 4+3 Hybrid NAS gets Intel Core 3 N350 or Core i3-N305 octa-core CPU
TerraMaster has announced the F4-425 Pro, a 4+3 hybrid NAS offering four SATA bays and three M.2 NVMe SSD slots. It comes in two configurations: Intel Core i3-N305 (Alder Lake-N) with 8GB DDR5 RAM for $559.99, or Intel Core 3 N350 (Twin Lake) with 16GB DDR5 RAM for $669.99. Both feature dual 5GbE networking, HDMI 2.1, four USB 3.2 ports, and ship with TOS 7 built on Linux 6.12. TOS 7 adds natural language control via OpenClaw AI, Smart ISO mounting, a unified recycle bin, per-port bandwidth limits, and claims 120% improved search accuracy. The author notes the performance difference between the two CPU variants is marginal, with RAM being the main differentiator, and questions whether the Pro offers enough improvement over the older F4-425 Plus with Intel N150 for typical home users.
