TerraMaster U16‑722‑2224 16‑Bay Rackmount NAS – Key Specs & Features

🔧 Core Hardware

• Processor: Intel Xeon E‑2224G quad‑core CPU at 3.5 GHz (with potential turbo up to ~3.8 GHz on some configs) — server‑grade performance for storage tasks.

• Memory: 8 GB DDR4 installed (expandable via four DIMM slots up to 128 GB total).

• Network: Four Gigabit Ethernet ports with Link Aggregation support for improved throughput and redundancy.

Storage & Expansion

• Drive Bays: 16 hot‑swappable bays supporting 3.5″ SATA HDDs or 2.5″ SATA SSDs (total raw storage up to ~320 TB with 20 TB drives).

• PCIe Expansion: Two PCIe 3.0 slots for optional 10 GbE network cards (e.g., SFP+), RAID cards, etc.

• SSD Cache: Supports SSD caching to boost random access performance (~+25 % vs HDD‑only).

Performance

• IOPS & Throughput: Rated for over 30,000+ IOPS and up to ~3,000 MB/s continuous storage throughput.

• RAID Support: Typical NAS RAID levels (JBOD, RAID 0/1/5/6/10) — helps balance performance and redundancy.

Management & Software

• Runs TerraMaster’s TOS (TerraMaster Operating System) enterprise version with a GUI for storage, user accounts, and services management.

• Includes advanced features such as remote access, iscsi support, Btrfs file system with snapshots, multiple backup methods, and container support in some setups.

Business Use & Reliability

• Designed for enterprise virtualization, data‑intensive workloads, and service continuity with network fault tolerance and scalable memory/network expandability.

Typical Interfaces (based on retailer listings)

• Network: 4× RJ45 1 GbE

• USB: Multiple USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports

• Video/Console: HDMI, VGA, COM port (varies by seller)
  (Note: specifics like video outputs vary by region and reseller.)

Who It’s For

✔ Medium to large businesses that need centralized, high‑capacity storage
✔ Environments needing fault tolerance and scalable memory/network expansion
✔ Workloads like virtualization back‑ends, large file servers, backup targets, and mixed services

⚠️ Notes & Considerations

• Drives are not included — you’ll need to install your own HDDs or SSDs.

• Performance depends on RAID level, drive types (HDD vs SSD), and network infrastructure.

• Enterprise features like 10 GbE require additional NIC cards.
