Tired of paying for monthly cloud storage? In this video, we review the TerraMaster D1 SSD Plus, a rugged, fanless, and high-speed Direct Attached Storage (DAS) solution. We walk through the installation of a Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD, mobile device backups using the TAS app, and real-world speed expectations. Whether you need a personal cloud or a way to archive security footage, this aluminum IP67-rated enclosure is a versatile choice for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac.

Your phone, tablet and computer can only hold so much data and so before you realize it, you’re out of storage. So what do you do? You could go pay for cloud storage, but you’ll be paying every month for the rest of your life. You could buy external drives, and keep a box full of them like your parents or grandparents used to do with floppy disks, but managing them all is a pain. Or maybe there’s a better solution. A NAS (Network Attached Storage). Something you can keep all your data in. So that’s what I’m gonna be doing today. We’re going to be taking this TerraMaster F4-425 Plus provided by today’s sponsor TerraMaster and showing you how it can be my own personal cloud storage, streaming service, and even a smart home controller. TerraMaster sent this product to me to review.
