While NAS‘ have the advantage of being accessible from every network connected device, the DAS units have a speed advantage. Especially units with Thunderbolt 3 shine here. With 40Gbps bandwidth available, you can easily max out your drives for the best performance possible.

Design wise, TerraMaster sticks to what we know from them. A beautiful aluminium shell with carefully designed parts. This model does feature a thing we haven’t seen on the NAS units and that is the carrying handle. DAS is moved more and as such, it can be very convenient. I loved it during this review as it allowed me to grab and change settings on it quickly.
