It's A Digital Disease!

Hey, I'm planning to get a TerraMaster NAS and use it mainly to run Proxmox for homelab stuff — VMs, maybe some LXC containers, light media serving, that sort of thing.

I’ve looked at a few models like the F4-424 and F4-423, but not 100% sure which one gives the best bang for the buck in terms of CPU, RAM expandability, SSD support, etc. My budget is around $500, so trying to get the most capable box I can within that range.

Any compatibility issues I should watch out for? Also open to any tips on setup or gotchas with BIOS, boot drives, or PCIe stuff.

Thanks in advance!
