TerraMaster, a professional brand that specializes in providing innovative storage products for home, businesses and enterprises, announces the new TOS 5.1 Beta operating system with new features and improved performance. New features and improvements include upgraded kernel, 4K hardware decoding, storage pool expansion via USB, Hyper Cache, categorized notifications, USB Storage Management, optimized Docker Manager, better AI computing performance for Terra Photos and other applications, and more.

TerraMaster TOS 5.1 Beta is now available for download on select TNAS devices.

Upgraded Kernel
The TOS 5.1 kernel has been updated from 4.19 to 5.15. The update kernel on TOS 5.1 Beta optimized EXT4/Btrfs/NTFs file systems and SMB3 file server, used ext4/f2fs/ubifs file system encryption in the encryption API, enabled Apple M1 SoC functionality under Linux and added USB 4 interface support, which greatly improved the performance and security of file system.

4K Hardware Decoding
The new hardware decoding driver for Intel Jasper Lake GPU is added, which will significantly improve 4K video hardware decoding capability for TerraMaster NAS.

Storage pool expansion via USB
By connecting TerraMaster USB disk array, users can easily expand the storage space of the storage pool for TNAS. It supports TRAID/RAID 0/RAID 1/RAID 5/RAID 6 array mode and provide 10Gb storage bandwidth. Compared with eSATA or mini SAS expansion enclosures, TerraMaster USB expansion enclosures are more economical and more convenient.

Transcend Information, a leading manufacturer of embedded memory products, is pleased to announce the release of our new Power Loss Protection (PLP) solid-state drives (SSDs) for enterprise customers. These SSDs have been designed to ensure data transfer integrity in the event of unexpected power loss, making them a valuable feature for systems that frequently experience unstable power sources, such as 5G network facilities, smart factories, and transportation surveillance networks.

transcend plp ssds
Our PLP technology, which has been developed for SSDs with DRAM cache, is able to prevent data loss and corruption that may occur due to power failure. It operates by using a voltage detector and tantalum capacitors to provide power to the controller and DRAM cache in the event of a power failure, allowing for a longer buffer time for data to be transferred from the DRAM cache to NAND flash. When the voltage drops to a specific value, the controller will stop accepting new write commands and enter write-protection mode.
