There are a lot of things to like about how the Norwegian team is conducting its World Cup, and with Haaland and Odegaard, there is a good chance they will last a long time in the tournament.
You know what else lasts a long time? SSD. Typical NAS servers use mechanical hard drives, but if you want to switch to flash storage, there are some decent options available. The advantage of using an all-flash NAS is that you get significantly more bandwidth; Most traditional hard drives can reach 250 MB/s at most, but with an SSD, you can easily get ten times that bandwidth.
I tested every SSD NAS server available today and TerraMaster F8 SSD Plus He is the best of the lot. It holds eight SSDs, comes with thermal pads that ensure the drives don’t overheat, and you get active cooling.
The best part is that the NAS is Now selling for just $719and I think it’s a good value. While it debuted at $899, the F8 SSD Plus typically sells between $765 and $799, so even in that context, you’re getting a good overall deal this time around.
✅Recommended if: You are ready to move to SSD storage. The F8 SSD Plus has 10GbE connectivity, holds eight drives, and doesn’t take up much space.
❌Skip this offer if: You only want a media server. There are plenty of other options if you just need a NAS server to host your media collection, and opting for a regular hard drive is still a better option.
While I use the F8 SSD Plus regularly, most of my media is on another NAS with regular hard drives. This is because you don’t get as much storage when purchasing SSDs as you do when purchasing mechanical drives. I have four 2TB SSDs totaling 8TB in the F8 SSD Plus and together they cost as much as a 24TB HDD.
With SSD prices inflated right now due to high demand, you’ll end up shelling out a lot of money to get a decent amount of storage. The plus side is that since SSDs contain no moving parts, they generally last longer than an HDD. An all-flash NAS is better suited for office tasks and is usually overkill if you just want a media server.
Coming to the F8 SSD Plus, you get eight NVMe slots in total, so you can add eight drives, and each slot holds 8TB, giving you 64TB of total addressable storage. The NAS runs on Intel’s N305 platform and is designed to be fast; I didn’t see any problems after almost a year of use.
In terms of connectivity, the F8 SSD Plus has 10GbE as standard, and can easily saturate the bandwidth of the connection with the available bandwidth. While the upfront costs are higher, the F8 SSD Plus is a great all-around option if you want an all-flash NAS with standout features.
