The size is perfect for my needs and is compatible with any sats drive but you will need to screw in a SSD.

5.0 out of 5 stars works great.

I seemed to have accumulated a number of multi TB HDD's over the years. Seemed a waste to just leave them in a drawer. I have tried USB caddies in the past but they seem a bit cheap and cheerful and eventually I seem to get issues. So I purchased this device as it looked more robust. Works great. Performance is good and I like the hot-swap feature. No issues at all. So good I purchased another.

4.0 out of 5 stars RAID-1 could be improved

J. · 12 April 2025

The DAS RAID-1 mode does not offer 2x read speed, which seems to me that it is reading off one of the disk only. A bit shame.No obvious vendor lock-in to my eye, I can just pull one of the drive out and then read it in another device.For improved read performance, switch to SINGLE mode and make a soft-raid 1; maybe swap one of the disk to SSD will help the read speed.For siplicity, compatibility and portability, use the RAID-1 mode from this DAS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product

M.A.V. · 30 May 2025

Silent, compact and much faster than previous hdd enclosures I had in the past. I could reach easily 120-130 MB/s compared to 70-80 with an 8-bay USB 3.1.

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage. Unfit for purpose.

J.G. · 25 May 2025

Had it for two hours before boxing it back up and starting a return. If you try to access a large chunk of data in one go (such as moving a large folder), the entire NAS will disappear from the system and won’t appear until you reboot it.It doesn’t even function at its most basic level, which is a file storage system.

5.0 out of 5 stars This unit is quiet! used for Plex and Mac mini server

A. · 26 February 2025

I spent hours researching the right DAS, my needs were somthing to attach to my Mac mini M1 that I use as a Plex server, I read some bad reviews on this unit and decided to buy the Sabrent one instead! but... The sorbent one really is loud! so round we could hear it outside the cupboard it sits in. So decided to try this Terramaster D4 320, honestly its night and day, the D4 is super quite and has stayed attached with no issues so far. I use a 16TB Seagate Ironwolf pro and 2 x 8TB seagate barracudas, these all had data on them in EXFAT format, they plugged in and no data lost. I did have a 2tb WD Blue but I don't think it's supported? all in all a really good product and hopefully one that will last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice device which works well

A.C. · 8 April 2025

This is a really good device. I fitted four large SATA 3.5in discs and it booted up immediately. It has the advantage over some other devices of this type in that it shuts the discs down into sleep mode when not in use and turns off when the computer shuts down, so reducing electricity use. I would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to use their older discs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with Windows Server 2019 storage pooling

J.A.D. · 4 December 2022

Bought this for my husband and he wrote this review in case it is useful to anyone:I bought one of these to use in SINGLE mode attached to a Windows Server 2019 machine, with a view to using the Windows Server storage pooling feature to get it working as a simple RAID array. I didn't get it to work in that mode.First off, I attached it to a Windows 10 Pro machine and set it up using the Storage Spaces feature. I put four disks of various sizes in the enclosure - two disks of 2 Tb each, one of 1 Tb and one of 250 Gb. They all showed up properly in Explorer and Disk Manager, and when adding to the Storage Space I had defined, and I was able to add them to the space correctly without trouble. The resulting combined volume size was as expected.All seemed to be well at that point.I then transferred the TerraMaster to the Windows Server. My first observation was that the Windows Server didn't recognise the Storage Space set-up it inherited from Windows 10 Pro at all. Quite the contrary - the fact that the disks were now initialised prevented them from being recognised as part of the Primordial Pool, which is where Windows Server needs them to show up before it allows you to allocate them to a user-defined storage pool.So I reinitialised all the drives in the enclosure and started again from clean. I created a Windows Server 2019 storage pool of my own. The next step would be to add a physical disk to it. Only one of the four physical disks in the TerraMaster appeared as belonging to the Primordial Pool. I would have expected all four to be shown in that list. Anyway, I allocated the one visible disk to my storage pool. So far so good. Another physical disk appeared in the Primordial Pool. I have no idea why it had not been visible there to start with, nor why the remaining two were still not visible. I attempted to add the one visible disk to my storage pool, which would have made two disks in the pool, but Windows Server wouldn't do it - "One or more physical disks are not supported by this operation".So I am stuck with a storage pool which contains only one physical disk. Not only does this leave me short of a lot of the disk space I expected (and needed) to have, it means that I couldn't create a virtual disk within that storage pool, because Windows Server requires at least two physical disks per virtual disk.I looked up various forums and found suggestions: reseating the disks in the enclosure, restarting the server, making sure the disks were properly reset, and changing driver options to make this USB device "feel" less removeable to Windows Server. But nothing I found made any difference. This device is not listed in the Windows Server Catalog, which, while not being definitive, suggests that it isn't compatible.TL;DRThis item is suitable for use in SINGLE mode with Windows Pro 10 or Windows Server 2019. It is suitable for use as a RAID array using Windows 10 Pro's Storage Spaces feature. It is not suitable for use as a RAID array using Windows Server 2019's storage pooling.Sent it back for a refund.I didn't use it for long enough to comment on noise levels, heating or other operational characteristics, beyond saying that I didn't notice anything untoward. The appearance of the device is appealing to me, and it felt solid to handle and use.

Funziona, conveniente e pratico.

Ho pure scoperto che la ditta ha un'assistenza post vendita letteralmente stellare. Avevo bisogno di sapere come comportarmi con il voltaggio differente in USA (120V 60Hz) avendolo comprato in Italia (230V 50Hz) così gli ho scritto una mail con la questione e questi mi hanno mandato alla chetichella e senza neanche fiatare un altro alimentatore con la spina USA, pazzesco ! Soprattutto considerando che A) sarebbe bastato solo il pezzo di spina USA (l'alimentatore si adatta da solo ma l'ho scoperto dopo) e B) il costo dell'intero maccherone è di ben 40.00 USD. Non hanno domandato o voluto un centesimo. Ho visto che ne hanno una versione update, appena posso ne compro un'altro, sono veramente soldi ben spesi.

Tus datos, siempre respaldados

Lo compre cuando cambie de Pc. Rescaté los discos duros de mi anterior ordenador y con un solo puerto usb tengo acceso a todos los archivos de trabajo. Cuando acabo y expulso las unidades, se que tengo una copia de respaldo de toda mi información a un solo click, sin necesidad de subirla a la nube.

Super satisfait du TerraMaster D4-320 !

M. · 6 June 2025

Honnêtement, il fait parfaitement le job. Je l’ai associé à un serveur NAS Beelink, c’est reconnu tout de suite, on peut faire du ZFS dessus sans aucun souci, le tout est hyper stable.Côté compatibilité, rien à dire, c’est plug & play. J’ai juste remarqué que les infos SMART remontent sur certains disques et pas sur d’autres, mais franchement ce n’est pas bloquant.Le RAID fonctionne , l’interface USB-C est rapide et fiable, c’est simple, ça marche et je n’ai jamais eu de mauvaise surprise. Pour le prix, la qualité est vraiment au rendez-vous, c’est bien construit, pas cheap du tout.C’est aussi un super choix pour tous ceux qui en ont marre de Synology et de leurs restrictions ou de leur matos devenu obsolète. Aujourd’hui, avec des OS open source comme TrueNAS, OpenMediaVault ou UnRAID, on peut avoir une vraie liberté et une machine qui tourne comme on veut, sans se prendre la tête. Faut juste accepter de réapprendre un peu un nouvel OS, mais ça vaut largement le coup.Bref, je recommande à fond !J'ai même commandé un D2-320 en plus :) pour mon PC et MAC

Sehr gute Verarbeitung, sehr leise.

M. · 13 August 2024

Habe lange überlegt welches TerraMaster Festplattengehäuse ich mit zulege. (dieses hier oder eines der 5-Bay mit RAID). Die Recherche war nicht ganz leicht, da sowohl hier als auch auf der Herstellerwebsite durchaus unterschiedliche Informationen zu finden sind.Der TerraMaster Support über Live-Chat war allerdings sehr kompetent und hilfreich und hat offene Fragen innerhalb von wenigen Minuten klären können.Jetzt zum Produkt:Das Festplattengehäuse hat ein massives Metallgehäuse (Alu?) und sieht sehr wertig aus. Auch die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut. Die Festplatteneinschübe selbst sind aus Kunststoff, was aber völlig ausreichend erscheint. Sie passen perfekt, nichts wackelt oder klappert.Das montieren von 3,5 Zoll HDD's als auch 2,5 Zoll SSD's auf den Einschüben geht problemlos mit jeweils 3 Schrauben. Sicherlich sind die Einschübe nicht zum täglichen Wechseln ausgelegt, dann hätten sie wohl aus Metall sein müssen, aber wer macht das denn bei Consumer-Hardware schon?Der Lüfter ist überraschend leise und durch die weichen Gummifüße werden auch keine Vibrationen übertragen. Selbst auf dem Schreibtisch direkt neben dem PC sind die Geräusche kaum wahrnehmbar.Aktuell steht das Gerät in einem Schrank mit Lüftungsöffnungen. Nachts (bei völliger Stille) ist ein ganz leises Rauschen wahrnehmbar. Dies ist aber leiser als jede Klimaanlage oder Kühlschrank.Sowohl der Stecker den Netzteils als auch der USB-C Stecker des mitgelieferten Kabels passen gut und sitzen sehr fest, was ein versehentliches herausziehen praktisch unmöglich macht.Zu meinem Setup:Ich betreibe die TerraMaster D4-300 an einem Proxmox-Server als Datenspeicher und für tägliche Backups. Deswegen habe ich mich gegen die anderen TerraMaster Variaten mit RAID entschieden, da ich das für meinen Zweck nicht brauche. Die Möglichkeit jede Platte einzeln anzusprechen ist genau das wonach ich gesucht habe.Ich betreibe in den 4 Slots 2 SSD's und 2 große HDD's im Mischbetrieb. Das ist ohne Probleme möglich.Das Temperaturmanagement des Gehäuses ist erstaunlich gut. Auch bei den nächtlichen Backups, wo alle 4 Platten unter Last laufen, steigt die Temperatur der einzelnen HDD's und SSD's nicht über 38 Grad. Das Gehäuse wird maximal handwarm (im geschlossenen Schrank), bei geöffneter Tür nicht wärmer als Zimmertemperatur.Der Stromverbrauch liegt im Idle so grob bei 10-15 Watt, was ich für ganz okay halte.(Habe aber keine Einzelmessung der TerraMaster, nur des Gesamtsystems)Fazit:Wer einfach eine bezahlbare Speicherlösung sucht und kein teures NAS braucht, ist mit den Festplattengehäusen von TerraMaster auf der sicheren Seite.

Works surprisingly well for a Terramaster product

J. · 19 October 2024

Works better than expected, no issues with disconnects. The internal timeout for putting the disks to sleep is a bit short, and it doesn't support passing thru the SMART status of drives (bizarrely, as most people will probably RAID a few and want to know).Solid and works, I don't hate it.
