Everyone knows, jellyfish meets everyone again.
The Jellyfish was thinking about playing with the NAS when the network disk had gone all the way and the hard disk capacity of the jellyfish's computer wasn't enough.
As a true IT migrant worker, my daily work involves dealing with network cables, switches, servers, and computers. However, for NAS, I'm still a beginner, having done only a little research without deep understanding or practical use.
Why choose NAS instead of a simple disk array cabinet? Because NAS is much more powerful than a disk array. A good home NAS can do a lot: storage and backup, add Gigabit Ethernet and RAID combinations. It's like sharing and managing various network disks, acting as your own private cloud. With rich applications such as offline download, remote download, and even email server support, it's truly versatile.
A good home NAS product should have multi-protocol support (NFS, CIFS, FTP), HTTP interface for web access, mobile management, and an attractive, user-friendly system. Low noise, compact size, and aesthetic design are also important—especially if placed in a living room or bedroom. Big servers can be too loud, like a plane taking off, which isn’t ideal. It should also support multiple bays, expandability, easy installation, simple and practical functions, low power consumption, high stability for 24/7 operation, and a cost-effective price.
Unboxing: 
The box was bigger than expected and quite heavy. 
The package was very simple, just the Weima logo on the front. 
Inside, it felt like a small appliance. The host was well protected to prevent damage during shipping. 
The NAS host had plastic protection and a Tieweima sticker. 
The yellow sticker was eye-catching, showing the correct hard drive installation method.
Accessories: 
The accessories were very geeky, including a power adapter, network cable, screws, hard drive stickers, screwdrivers, replacement pads, and spare screws. 
The manual was very concise, and I thought there would be more details. The electronic version was available online but lacked a QR code or link for quick access. 
The 84W power adapter is efficient and suitable for 24/7 use. 
Both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch screws were included. 
The network cable is likely Cat5e and of good quality.
Exterior: 
Tieweima’s NAS has a similar look to DAS, with a metal body that feels like MacBook. This is better than some others, especially for placing in the living room. 
Someone joked it looked like a mobile power bank, but it's clearly a networked toaster. 
The texture is amazing, with a solid feel and minimal design. There's a power button and LED indicator at the front, plus a blue Intel sticker. 
Passive heat dissipation at the bottom with foot pads. 
Two active fans on the back for cooling. 
The blue sign is beautiful. 
The hard drive slots are designed for quick release. 
I plan to buy new drives soon. 
Four screws make it easy to install.
Installation: 
Before installing, I checked the internal structure. But there was a warranty sticker on the bottom screw. 
The build quality is solid. 
The hard drives are directly in front of the fans, and the fan noise is minimal. 
SK Hynix memory chips are visible. 
The system is installed on a mini USB-like device.
TOS3:
TOS3 is easier to use than Qunhui, making it great for first-time NAS users. 
The Quick Installation Guide is digital. 
Detailed instructions and terms are in PDF format. 
You can download the TANS desktop client for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. 
TANS can be installed on any platform, even a phone. 
The installation process is automatic, and the UI is clean and modern, similar to Deepin Linux. 
Use: 
The manual is detailed with diagrams. 
Setting up an admin account requires uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and at least 8 characters. 
Disk arrays offer flexibility, though I haven’t tested RAID 0 yet. 
The interface is simple and friendly, similar to Deepin and domestic routers. 
Customizable themes and wallpapers are available.
Hardware: 
The F4-220 uses the same hardware as the F2-220, but with two more hard drive bays. It has an Intel Celeron J1800 CPU and 2GB DDR3L RAM. The F4-220 model uses a quad-core Intel CPU at 2.0GHz.
Applications: 
TOS3 offers many enterprise-level apps like SugarCRM, MySQL, and mail servers. It supports up to 40TB and 1000+ users. 
Baidu Cloud sync is very useful. 
PT/PT download (offline) is convenient. 
Offline download is popular because it saves PC power and noise. 
PLEX is not used due to high costs and limited video usage. Video surveillance storage is practical, but some cameras don’t support ONVIF.
TANS.online 
Supports up to 1000+ users for shared access.
File Management: 
File management is easy—no need for complex IP settings. Just log in and create shortcuts. 
It supports MAC OS, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms.
APP: 
The app is simple and convenient for file management and photo backup. More features like real-time NAS status would be nice. 
Summary: Tieweima F4-220 is a practical, easy-to-use NAS with great design, solid materials, and user-friendly TOS3. It offers full-platform management and is ideal for a private cloud. If the app could be more feature-rich, it would be even better. I hope TOS3 continues to develop more useful and fun NAS software.
