TERRAMASTER U8-500 Plus

The TerraMaster U8-500 Plus is a network-attached storage (NAS) file server with eight bays for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard drives and SSDs. It is powered by a 10-core Intel Core i7-1255U and comes with 16 GB of DDR5 memory, which can be expanded to 64 GB through two SODIMM slots. Two 10-gigabit LAN ports deliver high transfer speeds for large files and backups, and link aggregation can boost network performance when many users connect at once.

For storage expansion, the unit offers two M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 slots that can serve as a fast SSD cache or additional storage. Hot-swap support allows drives to be replaced while the system is running. It is designed as a central repository for documents, projects and databases in small and medium-sized businesses.

The Business Backup Suite includes Centralized Backup, Duple Backup, TerraSync, CloudSync and Snapshot features. For access control, the device supports AES encryption, OTP authentication, and integration with Active Directory and LDAP.
