What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
QNAP TS-464
Only one whitelisted lab tester, StorageReview, published a hands-on benchmark of the exact QNAP TS-464 (Oct 2022). It measured the four-bay NAS meeting or beating the older TS-453D on SMB throughput and calls it a great value at $549 diskless, while noting that some gains are marginal and 128K sequential reads actually came in lower than the prior model in the test config. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Beats the older TS-453D on SMB read/write throughput in lab benchmarks; Strong value at the $549 diskless base price for SMB and home users; Expandable: two M.2 NVMe Gen3 slots, PCIe Gen3 x2, up to 16GB RAM, dual 2.5GbE.
Flagged: 128K sequential reads came in 6.8% lower than the TS-453D in the test config; Some measured performance gains over the prior model are only marginal; Ships diskless with just 4GB RAM at the base configuration.
TerraMaster F4-424 Pro
Two whitelisted hands-on reviews of this exact model, both from its early-2024 launch window. Both call the 8-core i3-N300 with 32GB DDR5 genuinely powerful for Docker, VMs and multi-user work, and both flag the high price ($699 / €730) and the near-useless HDMI output, which shows only Linux console text because TOS has no graphical interface. Measured throughput is network-bound: Notebookcheck recorded 210 MB/s write and 296 MB/s read, TechRadar puts the ceiling at around 280MB/s over a single 2.5GbE port. Only Notebookcheck published power and noise figures (23.8 watts idle, 33.7 dB idle). (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)
Praised: Powerful 8-core Intel Core i3-N300 with 32GB DDR5 leaves real headroom for Docker, VMs and multi-user office work; Dual 2.5GbE with link aggregation, plus two M.2 NVMe slots usable as ordinary storage or as cache — not locked to cache duty; 10 Gbit/s USB-A and USB-C ports on the rear (TechRadar specifies USB 3.2 Gen 2).
Flagged: High price — $699 in the US / €729.99 in Europe, a flat $200 more than the vanilla F4-424 and far above the F4-423 predecessor (about €336 at the time); HDMI output is nearly useless — no graphical interface in TOS, only Linux console output; TOS trails Synology's DSM in polish and functionality (TechRadar adds that TeraSync, Centralized Backup, Log Center and Surveillance Manager are all still in Beta; Notebookcheck adds there is no terminal package manager such as yum or apt).
