Thoughts about Terramaster's f4-424 max?
I've been looking to upgrade from my current old-laptop-with-external-HDD-on-WiFi setup and I came across this thing which has a pretty decent discount.
It fits my needs and wants pretty much perfectly and leaves plenty of room for slapping even more services on it without having to "budget" my CPU/RAM.
The only two criticisms I've heard about it are
>Their in-house OS is unwashed ass
Doesn't bother me, The plan's to throw Debian on it and do everything through Docker.
>No support for ECC
A bit of a shame, but I'm not planning on keeping anything irreplaceable there.
Most of what I'd keep there are pirated media (which would be tiresome to replace, but simple) or stuff that are backed up in other places, so I can give that up.
I could probably build something for cheaper of similar performance if I scavenge second hand deals but almost certainly not at this size, and I've been wanting my home server to be as small as possible.
If anyone has any experience with it I'd love to hear it, the reviews I managed to find are pretty surface-level or thinly-veiled proxmox setup tutorials for some reason.
