Under idle they do not change much and only heat during heavy use. NVMe drives (as other drives or electronics) are designed to run at a certain temperature. Honestly, I feel SSD are more reliable the spinning drives. Great question.
At about 2:35 you state that the air is sucked in at the top and exhausted at the bottom. This doesn't make sense. Air should enter at the bottom and exit at the top because as the air is heated inside the unit it become lighter as it expands and rises, creating a chimney effect. Please check on this. Thanks.
Hi Mike, if you can, please make a speed test with a normal RAID configuration as the TRaid from TerraMaster takes a hit on performance spite allowing you to mix the drives. I quite interested to see what is the difference.Many thanks for the video.
I did try that on a different Terramaster NAS and did no see any difference. Your point is well noted and I will put in my list of testing I plan to do with this device. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Mike, I really enjoyed your review of the Terramaster F8 SSD Plus. I would be grateful if you could do a video on the more advanced setup configuration.
do you feel the NVMe s getting hotter during regular use.
i wonder if its cutting corners on cooling which could lead to failure when used 24x7

You are absolutely right and I called it backwards. I will add a correction to the description. Thanks for pointing that out.
I’m interested in a follow up video on more advanced configuration, I ordered this NAS but Terramaster isn’t a brand I know much about.
I certainly plan and doing more on these. They have been around for a while but they are just recently mainstream.

How would it go running Proxmox with 32GB ram and ZFS?
Have not tired it yet but I believe it would run great. I may try it in the near future. Great question.
If I add NVME’s that had media on them already, will they be wiped when setting up RAID?
Yes, absolutely. Backup your data first. Great question.
@@MikeFaucher Thanks!

Absolutely, I am going to work on one. Any particular topics?
@@MikeFaucher Hi Mike, Thank you for the reply. I am interested in the Surveillance Manager and also the security settings on TOS6
@@highplainsdrifter2298 Awesome. A security settings video is in the works, and we will add the Surveillance manager soon.
I’d prefer nfs over smb
It will support both so you can choose. Thanks for the feedback.
