and, no doubt, make it more expensive for the budget minded users in the long run. In which case I would suggest an "Enterprise TOS" which could have all the bells and whistles AT A PRICE!
No need to yell, I for one would not mind paying for that security feature. Although it seems the backend already has (some) LUKS support, if you skim through the script I listed above.
Plus, LUKS and TCG/Opal are pretty well documented and would not require TerraMaster to reinvent the wheel. Surely extra caution/testing has to be applied so users don’t loose their data.
IIRC, the build in folder encryption that is based on eCryptfs is no longer actively maintained, so unless TerraMaster want to start fixing issues there in future releases, best to go for supported software anyways. TCG Opal, low hanging fruit: the drives already encrypt in hardware, the only thing that has to be done is change that encryption key to a password only known to you. Limit this kind of encryption to non-system drives, and there’s most likely no major change required. Easy to set a new password: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Self-e ... your_drive

This is terrible. I bought the F4-F25 Plus to replace my old NAS as I required disk encryption and the Synology I had didn't support it. Based on the press release, i assumed it would be supported.

This feature needs to be added for TOS to be an option for a lot of users.

That, 100%.
Especially because the base OS already has support, there were even scripts for LUKS last time I checked.

Is the development team aware that encrypted LUKS volumes become invisible and unmanageable in the TOS WebUI? Are there any plans to add basic WebUI visibility or a simple unlock/mount dialogue for LUKS volumes to support advanced users?

No, as I do know the TerraMaster development team does not officially support or track custom LUKS layers, meaning encrypted LUKS volumes remain completely invisible and unmanageable in the TOS WebUI by design.
