The Terramaster F8 Plus is pretty amazing. Its cheap, which we like. Its powerful, which we love and it is absolutely a better buy than a Blackmagic Design Cloudstore.
With eight M.2 slots, powerful hardware, and 10GbE connectivity, the F8 SSD Plus is the next-gen NAS server we've been waiting for.

If you've used NAS servers with traditional hard drives in the past but want to switch to M.2 storage, the F8 SSD Plus should be at the top of your list. The NAS server has a significantly smaller profile than regular NAS servers, but you still get eight M.2 slots. The Intel i3-N305 platform delivers outstanding performance, and you get 16GB of RAM as standard. There's 10GbE connectivity, an HDMI port, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports that allow you to add additional drives down the line. The software still has a few quirks, but if you want to set up an enthusiast NAS server exclusively with M.2 storage, the F8 SSD Plus is the best overall choice right now.
Pros
+Powerful hardware with 16GB memory
+Compact design
+10GbE connectivity
+Eight M.2 2280 slots and added extensibility
+Outstanding performance
+Software is better than before
Cons
-TOS 6 software is buggy at times
-Plastic chassis
-No Thunderbolt 4 connectivity
Unlike other products, the F8 SSD Plus is an all-flash NAS; it doesn't have 3.5-inch drive bays, instead - just M.2 slots. The NVMe segment is at a point where you can get high-density SSDs for not a lot of cash — the 2TB WD SN770 is available for $118 — and that makes M.2 SSDs a viable alternative in NAS servers.
