## What reviewers say

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). (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2024-02-15–2024-03-11.)

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); Easy internal access — two screws let the side slide off to reveal the RAM slot and both M.2 slots, instead of dismantling the whole enclosure as on the F4-423; Quiet in operation — the fan ran at 875 RPM and was practically inaudible, with only the HDDs audible at idle (33.7 dB).
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); No 10GbE and no PCIe slot, so the LAN is the bottleneck for all that CPU power — bonding both 2.5GbE ports still only adds up to 5GbE; Relatively high power draw — 23.8 watts idle with 2 HDDs and an SSD, and still 0.9-1.5 watts when switched off; M.2 slots have almost no clearance above the modules — a Corsair NVMe with an integrated heatsink fitted the slot but stopped the case side from going back on, so only bare PCIe 3.0 drives are recommended.
Disagreement: The two testers split on whether the CPU is worth paying for. TechRadar argues the N300 is wasted on file serving ('if the primary objective is file serving, there is little point in buying the F4-424 Pro over the F4-424') and suggests a mini PC with a desktop-class processor may be better value at this price, while Notebookcheck frames the same silicon as welcome headroom for demanding tasks and multi-user office work without questioning price/performance. They also diverge on efficiency: TechRadar lists power efficiency as a reason to buy (claiming it draws less than the F4-423, with no figures published), whereas Notebookcheck measured 23.8 watts idle, called it a clear disadvantage, and noted comparable Alder Lake-N mini PCs idle at 6-15 watts.
