If you are an existing Terramaster NAS owner, or are someone that has been considering their NAS brand for your private server purchase, then you might have heard that they recently released their latest BIG software update. Upgrading from TOS 4 to TOS 5, this new update brings a huge range of improvements in the GUI, available applications, supported services, security and user controls to their NAS systems. Today I want to review this massive software upgrade and help you decide whether you should upgrade, as well as help you decide if a Terramaster NAS is going to be the right choice for you and your storage in 2022/2023. So, get comfortable and let’s break down everything about TOS 5 in today’s review and help you decide if it deserves your data!

What I liked in TOS 5
---------------------------------
The GUI is considerably clearer and much more vibrant.
The options and icons in the GUI are much more responsive and clear against other background activities.
There are considerably more backup and synchronization tools in TOS5.
There are a vastly improved number of storage configurations and services available at your disposal.
The mixed drive TRAID Is going to win serious points with ex-synology owners.
The system includes direct tech support and remote access terminal for official support and difficulties
The network isolation mode in TOS5 is both unique to the brand and particularly helpful.
The resource monitor is 10 times better than in previous versions of TOS 5 and genuinely useful.

What I did not like in TOS 5
------------------------------------------
The number of applications that are still in beta at the launch of TOS5 is disappointing.
The upgrade path between TOS4 and TOS5 is not as smooth as it should be. And will confuse some and concern others.
Remote access still seems to be a little too easy to do. And not enough warning is provided as to the inherent dangers of a weak remote setup.
Multimedia tools are a little lacking and although there is a general DLNA media server application and the photo app in beta, there is no dedicated video or music tool available.
Resource sharing could still be greatly optimized when running multiple apps or services at once.
