As the data we create in our personal and work lives grows exponentially, and it must be housed somewhere safe, simple, and accessible, the best long-term option is always a personal NAS you have in your home or office server.

terramaster f2 212 nas

Most users have strict noise requirements for NAS products since they are placed closely. The high-speed operation of the hard disk will cause vibration and noticeable noise when reading and writing. Once you install multiple HDDs at the same time, this noise will increase exponentially, so choosing a quiet NAS is particularly important for daily work and life.

TerraMaster, a professional brand focused on providing innovative storage products for homes and businesses, recently released what it claims is the quietest 2bay NAS F2-212, with a maximum storage capacity that supports 2 HDDs up to 22TB.

The two products offer consumers smooth read and write speed and diverse memory storage options, covering both storage needs for daily and professional use. A solution to satisfy all the different storage needs, the two memory cards are the perfect choice for adding more storage on mobile devices, taking high-quality photos on an action camera and a drone in extreme environments, or shooting 4K videos on a camera.

Designed especially for creative users, T-CREATE EXPERT S.M.A.R.T. MicroSDXC uses the S.M.A.R.T. software, which can be downloaded on TEAMGROUP’s official website. TEAMGROUP’s extensive research and understanding of creative users’ usage scenarios tell us that such users tend to edit and produce photos and videos on their computers only when the memory card storage on their device has been ultimately used up. Based on this finding, TEAMGROUP particularly designed the S.M.A.R.T software to begin instant memory card condition monitoring with just one click. Through NAND Flash wear-out detection technology, the condition of the memory is monitored to secure videos filmed and avoid the need to conduct data recovery. T-CREATE EXPERT S.M.A.R.T. MicroSDXC is a U3 and V30 memory card that also fulfills requirements of the Application Performance Class 2 (A2), capable of reaching a read and write speed of 160MB/s and 150MB/s with storage space up to 1TB when used with professional card readers, and supports 4K Ultra HD and 1080p Full HD video shooting and bursts photo on action camera and drones. Its superb performance, capturing people, inanimate objects, or scenic details, allows creative users to create in all sorts of outdoor environments.
