Design and features

The F2-210 is a two-bay, front-loading box running TerraMaster’s own TOS operating system. When I say “TerraMaster’s own,” I mean its own flavor of Linux, the operating system that all the top vendors rely on for core software features. The box is constructed largely from plastic as are most boxes in this price range, but it’s painted in various shades of silver to give the impression of metal. Metal or no, it’s solidly built, and with hard drives inside, suitably stable. The fan is also very quiet, almost disturbingly so if you use sonic clues to determine if said fan is still running. (That’s a compliment, by the way)

The unit features a low-power 1.4GHz, Realtek RTD1296 (ARM Cortex-A53) CPU with 4K UHD video assist, and 1GB of memory. On the back of the box you’ll find the A/C jack, two USB 3.0 ports, and a gigabit ethernet port. There’s no quick-copy port or button on the front, as you’ll find on many end-user-oriented boxes, so if that’s a feature you desire, look elsewhere. If you keep the box out of the way and copy to it from other network locations, as the vast majority of users do, its absence is no big deal.
