      1. Do you have any beginner friendly tutorials on how to deploy containers in UGOS?

        I’m trying to run plex and jellyfish. Ive downloaded the images and loaded them but don’t know how to interactive with the instances. When i figure it all out, nextcloud would follow
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      2. The hardware is seriously good. It’s a bit noisy with drives but that’s the only real complaint I have.
        Software is stable enough and has enough features now instead of at the start when I wondered if I made the right decision to get a 6800 but I’m happy with it now.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      3. I understand that it tickles when a new product comes on the market with extremely strong hardware, but let’s stay real and down to earth, because without good smart software you can do very little. It is a Ferrari or shiny Lamborghini without an engine. Even if they bring it in gold, it must be reliable and stable and above all functional. We as consumers would really like to see it differently, faster network ports and a thick core. But are you going to need it, is that 10Gb applicable, is that 5Gb applicable. And is that 2.5Gb really 2.5Gb during your transfer, or do you first have to invest in your network by buying new more expensive switches. I certainly think it is positive, but first wait and see for 12 months from now. And then I will see how this brand and NAS has developed.

      5. I really like your videos, but how can I disable the auto-translated audio? Your channel is the only one I’m subscribed to that defaults to that creepy stuff every time I watch a video even though I switched back to the original audio the last time. This is quite annoying…
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      6. Hi, thx for this video. Looking to get a 4800+ but I cannot find anything about if UGREEN NAS supports/brings with it something like Synology Drive. An always synced folder between my devices and the NAS itself. And that not only locally but also via the internet. Is this something that is supported?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      7. So, if I need a system to archive video and photo files from my contracts, is this the right solution? I work alone, in projects for small and medium-sized companies. I am looking for a system that would allow me to archive the material (often very large) of my completed and delivered projects and free up the disk space on my MacBook Pro. I am quite confused with NAS, RAID, JBOD … What do you suggest? Thanks ✌️????
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      8. They need 6 and 8 bay options with lower tier hardware. Just because it has more HDDs it doesn’t mean they need a high power CPU. The 6 and 8 bay ones are overkill CPU wise for most users that only want network storage and maybe some docker stuff.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      9. Whats a better deal???

        The AOOSTAR WTR PRO AMD Ryzen 7 5825u for 400 USD or the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus for 560 USD? Mostly docker services, image backup and plex server.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      10. I could not buy the Kickstarter offer, due the limited offer to only US and Germany. Now, the SSD version price is insanely high (compared with the Kickstarter) and still not available in my country (while UGreen offers other products). I got the Flashstor 6.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      11. Ugreen is reputable- The Kickstarter price was great but the scheme had potential to be a rug pull. Now the pricing is too high considering other options. I would consider it if there were some hardware revisions..
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      12. I have never owned a NAS and have been using portable SSD HDD. I don’t get the vibe that there is a perfect product out there for me yet. At a risk to loosing my files I think I will wait for a high Tb storage solution utilising SSD’s in a small form factor. That does not exist yet.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      13. got the Aoostar WTR Pro AMD instead…changed out the wifi card with m2 key adaptor. running the OS from that slot on 2230 nvme. 2 free nvme bays + 4 hdd bays.
        Wonder Ugreen can even sell these at that price.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      14. Would you go the normal DXP4800 or the Plus version? Whats the real perfomance increase of the plus version?

        I have yet to find content that helps give data to make this decision. I know the plus has a cpu with 1 more core… but what does that mean to performance. The plus also has a 10gb ethernet port… but i would not even benifit from that at current.

        My main use case scenario is plex media sever with up to 4 concurrent users and just general personal file and photo storage backup for my family.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      15. I’d like to know how well this Ugreen NAS works with TrueNAS scale and other OS’s; is there driver support for the 10G ethernet NICs? …the Thunderbolt 4 ports? …included in a standard OS install, or do I have to hunt for drivers and tweak some things? (I know I’d have to make a few BIOS changes.) Seems like the hardware specs are great but I’d almost prefer they didn’t try to reinvent the wheel with their own OS. There’s plenty of more evolved (and free) options out there to use, but do they work well? Is there any downside to just using TrueNAS or ProxMox (or even Windows) on an additional SSD? (and set BIOS to ignoring the built in SSD to preserve warranty and the option to use UGOS). I know it’s possible to install other OS’s because I watched your other video, but is there any downside to going that route?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      16. I wanted a Ugreen NAS. Missed the Kickstarter and it is not for sale in the UK yet. I have given up waiting and bought a Flashstor 6 when it was on sale for ~£350 last month. Not offering these NAS’s worldwide was a massive fail for Ugreen!
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      17. Taking it all in, it just seems like they are crawling before they walk. UG will undoubtedly flesh out the missing bits over time. From what you’ve said, these machines seem to have a lot of promise. I just hope that the shortcomings don’t poison the well with people thinking that the evolution as ceased here.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      18. Currently UGreen NAS models are on offer stateside. Over $100 off depending on model. Personally I don’t think anything beats the Kickstarter price and while it still a decent product at retail price there are other options with similar hardware now. TerraMaster has a number of models using the Core i5 1235U and Core i7 1255U. The F6-424 Max and F4-424 Max are noteworthy options. I have the DXP8800 Plus (Kickstarter) and I am reasonably pleased with it.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      19. I have 2 6bay units and have a question. I am happy with the hardware and true there are for sure problems with the software and tech helps very much. I want to connect a UPS to protect units on power failure, is there a way that I can connect 2 units to shut down smoothly or do I have to buy 2 UPS units?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      20. I’m so tempted to pick up a ugreen NAS but having no previous NAS experience I’m hesitant. Synology sounds like the way to go at the moment but would like to see better hardware on their 5 bay drive.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      21. Need an Intel CPU containing replacement for my aging Synology DS916+ (Plex transcoding), but uGreen still not on sale in UK (only Germany & US). Don’t want to import (support, taxes, etc) but would buy if on sale in UK. No I don’t want Synology’s only (aged design) Intel 4 bay NAS (423+) – embarrassing offering for 2024, but then they’ve drunk the corporate cool-aid and seem hypnotised by that market!
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      22. Wish they can provide option for buy hardware only and cut of the price for their still not perfect software

        Going to buy terramaster F8 as they now discount 100GBP again , or another cwwk pocket nas / p8 x86 but some user reported cwwk have nvme issue where my first unit is fine (lucky)
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      23. no, you shouldn’t buy these:
        1. Their OS is crap even after some big updates
        2. If you ditch their OS and install your own 3rd party OS, there are other bare metal NAS or DIY options much cheaper
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      24. I have no use for HDD even in a NAS, because of their far slower transfer speeds.
        Question is should I buy a NAS that has both 2.5inch SATA SSD bays & NVMe slots, or keep searching/waiting for an all NVMe NAS that isn’t super wrongfully priced.
        I have no clue. I only have about 1Tb of data so I can buy very fairly priced 1Tb/2Tb NVMe SSD’s.
        What should I do?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      25. I feel like a nuub…. Help me understand the thunderbolt ports. If I hook my MacBook Pro via the thunderbolt 4 ports, will have a 10Gbps+ direct connection between my Mac and this as additional storage. I’m an amateur photographer using medium format photos (large). Looking to connect directly, import my photos into this NAS and editing from it. Basically looking for bi-directional SSD fast connectivity. Help please…
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      26. I don’t know much about networking but I am using link aggregation from the Naz to a 8-port switch. I tried to get thunderbolt networking going but I didn’t have any luck. For some reason my motherboard from Asus will not detect my network card. So I’m going to have to send the motherboard back. I am thinking what is my best bet to get faster than 1 gig speed on my PC? If I added another Network card should I grab a 2 quart 10 g or do I need a 20 g 2 port?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      27. DXP6800 Pro, with 6x2TB Ironwolf SSD’s plus 2x4TB Crucial P3 Plus NVMe’s + 64GB RAM. Set up single storage pool w/ 6 SSD’s (12TB, 8TB usable). Updated to newest FW. Rebooted a couple of times. Problem – in Storage Manager, there is no option to add SSD Cache. Should be found by clicking the 3 dots to the right of the storage pool. That pull-down menu does not list SSD caching at all. Further, under Hard Disks it shows the 2 NVMe drives and says they are both “normal”. Are these NAS incompatible with Crucial P3+ NVMe’s?? This is frustrating.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      28. I see this thing for €999,99 with 8GB of RAM and no SSDs and that’s 500 bucks too much.The UGREEN Software sucks donkey balls. Maybe they should hire someone who actually knows how to tune Linux and SAMBA…
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      29. If I just use it as aNetworkdrive with two NVMEs for writing and reading cache + HDDs, and turn anything else off, make it not reachable, I should be fine? Or is the certificate breach a problem still?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      30. If there is an ECC Ram and NFS I can’t do it.

        Also that static noise when you’re testing the fan noise is because the Nas is not well sealed from interference. I bet you it would fail FCC regulations for interference if it was scrutinized
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      31. Please show how to get into the memory module area. that piece is not coming out after removing all the screws for me. Almost all the reviewers wer simply skipping that part and just jump into that memory module area which tells me it is either painful or needs a special tool. I followed the manual to the letter and it is not coming out for me to upgrade the memory module.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      32. Please explain how you disassembled the server casing. I removed the rubber caps from the back and unscrewed the 4 screws, but I still cannot remove the server casing. I want to replace the UGREEN disk with another one and install a different OS. Video Chapters 19:24 – Internal Hardware

      33. Hey! fantastic review and I am setting mine up as we speak! I am curious what 2 port 10G card you used with it? I want to buy that one or one you would recommend!

      34. I got a DX 4600 . A previous generation product. It was quiet in the first place. But it become much noisy because the losen hdd rack. I hope this product line will be better.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      35. I got my DXP4800+ a few days ago (as of this post) and while the default software looks more polished, I’m now struggling with network speed issues (facepalm). Latest software version is not helping. Goes full throttle for a few seconds, then it drops to a crawl (kb/s) I may have to give a 3rd party software a go at this rate. But I knew what I was getting myself into, so it’s just annoying, not game breaking xD

        Can’t say the same for innocent people who only wanted an off the shelf experience though.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      36. hello I’ve been wondering if I you could tell me if the the backup program can delete the photos of my iPhone, once they are uploaded to the NAS through wifi?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      37. Great video! Very informative. Newbie here. I just received mine 1 hour ago, and I would like to set it up sometime this week. I need some help figuring out some questions:
        1. The device came with an 8gb SODIMM DDR 5. Should I keep it and add another 32gb or should I install 2 x 16gb (not sure how the ram is processed)
        2. Should I buy two 4 TB SSD nvme 2.0 and add two other at a later date or should I buy four 2TB now (asking because the 4TB ssd are a bit expensive).
        Thank you.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      38. Can anyone tell me what is the clearence hight for the M2 NVME (if for example it will fit the : MP600 PRO LPX 4TB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD or the MP600 PRO XT 8TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen. 4 x4 SSD) ?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      39. If I am editing 4k CDNG or 6k BRAW video files in davinci resolve, would i get essentially the same performance with this NAS wired connection than with a Thunderbay8? It looks like they have the same USBC thunderbolt ports and the price is even cheaper to the TB

      41. Becaus uou can run third party software it is much more time proof then the others were software is nit getting updates and force you to use online connections. This could be my new truneas server replacement (now use a old xeon pc) that i bought in parts, it was very very cheap.

      42. Been seeing a lot pop up with this new company. Just nervous with new companies that they might end up like DROBO and then you are stuck with no more service or updates.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      43. There is a non-technical reviewer who had close to 10gb transfers from the 4-bay after upgrading to 64gb and making sure that the drive the utility moving and accepting data was running on their their nvme and not their sata ssd. You can definitely get faster speeds.

      45. I backed it at the $899 but as soon as it arrives I will be installing unraid without ever launching ugreens software. Is it possible to use the OS nvme slot for Plex meta data?
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      46. I just watched another review of this, and the idle power consumption was insanely high, 30 watts. It’s very disappointing if it will be that high… Arguably it should be around 5-6-8W idle for a device like this.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      47. The only reason I’ve not signed up for the 6-bay model is the limited choice of countries that are allowed to purchase at the discounted price – currently the marketing is just hype for most of the world with products being sold at prices we will never have access too. If I ever do get my hands on one, my first test will be to see if Proxmox installs as the configuration makes one hell of a platform for a lot of projects.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      48. Great reviews as always. I’m new to the NAS scene and have ordered the DXP8800 Plus and wondering what hardware you’d kit this machine out with. I’d like 6 HDD’s maybe 20TB each in Raid 6 and 2 SSD’s and 2 M.2’s. Finally upgrade the RAM for virtual machine scenarios. How would you fully utilise this hardware from Ugreen and what brands and models of components would you use? Cheers ????
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      49. I joined the presale today of the dxp8800+. Seen them for awhile but looked at the costs vs other Nas . I really think this will be a good buy for a media server for plex. I plan on loading it all with 18TB drives. Upping the memory to 64gb and 2 2tb m.2s. Should be a beast.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      50. I actually think the access door on the bottom side should have been designed to reduce the space between it and the NVMe SSDs. That way those massive thermal pads could be a more conventional size. I mean, good god, those things are huge,………..(that’s what she said).
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      51. I backed this project at the most save money time, and they actually offer to get any of the other units at the same time for the same savings. I did not as I was unsure of the unit. On paper they look fantastic though.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      52. I am glad that UGreen has blown away the status quo. Hoping we see a new generation of NAS units with more capable hardware and upgradability as the new norm.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      53. Your effort to clarify Ugreen NAS innovations is fantastic. Thanks! Could you think of a video about the opposite view of the equation like “Best Ugreen NAS for content creators” (THE ULTIMATE WORKFLOW FOR EDITING AND STORAGE)”? or less dramatic lol… and compare the units

Personally due to the fact they did not include the UK in the kickstarter campaign, and since NASCompares is based in the UK and we can’t buy it, I am going with the Asustor Flashstore 12 Pro, I recently bouhgt the Asustor Lockstore 4 Gen 2 and I added 4 x 18 Seagate Ironwolf Pro, all for file storage and plex server, and cloud storage, macbook air and macbook pro backups and more storage for my numerous Raspberry Pi setups., as well as home automation. Will use the Asustor Flashstore 12 Pro as a silent Plex server sitting under my wall mounted TV. So Asustor Lockstore 4 gen 2 will have duplicate copy of Plex files for back up.

      55. I’m mostly interested in serving files and media; I want to clean off a lot of things on my hard drive, and the accumulation of USB drives in the house is getting to be a bit much. I backed the 6-bay. Probably more than I’ll need, but I figured having the better processor and more bays doesn’t hurt, and future-proofs me to an extent.

      56. Thanks for this. I always appreciate your attention to detail on these reviews. I wouldn’t buy a piece of NAS hardware you hadn’t made a video on at this point. 🙂

        I’m a bit stunned on the lane difference between the two slots. I’d expect that on an AliExpress demon board or something, but that is clearly not how the product is marketed, and it’s not acceptable for a machine at that price point targeted at creators, IMHO (he says, having backed the 8 bay model).

        I wonder if the 6 bay model does the same thing with its lanes.

        If that’s a hardware restriction that can’t be fixed, I’m going to seriously consider cancelling my pledge. For that price, those slots should run at full speed.

        Thanks for taking the time to follow up with UGREEN. 🙂

      57. Is it possible that adding the PCIe card is what throttled the second NVMe card? I just built a new desktop and had to make sure I used the right PCIe and NVMe slots so my OS SSD wouldn’t get throttled and also wouldn’t kill access to two of my SATA ports.

      58. Tho use network performance numbers look terrible – and they are far below what Storage Review showed on the 6 Bay. At one point they showed 2x10GbE saturation on one of their results (flashed on the screen).
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      59. Just need to point out that all Macs have for years supported Thunderbolt networking, even the old Intel Macs – and that Thunderbolt is at this point from Intel and not exotic. Just because the NAS sector treats it that way, does. It means it actually is – and I would argue Thunderbolt is far more common than 8k (and far more useful) and so deserves at least as much attention as 8k.

        I would appreciate if you would stop making it sound exotic in order to help normalize TB for your community and to normalize it as a product expectation for modern NAS units. If it is desirable enough for storage transfer to eat the hardware engineering costs, then it is also desirable for peer to peer for the same reasons.

      60. PCIe devices can readily downgrade their link speed when not in use. It’s entirely normal to observe a “downgraded” link when the device is idle, although this capability also depends on BIOS and OS settings. Recently, one of our clients was puzzled by why their GPU was showing only a 1-lane link speed, but it turned out to be in an idle state.

        There was a recent lspci output from the 6-bay system that caused some concern because, in that specific test unit (although it’s uncertain about production units), they used the same 4-port SATA chip as the one used in the 4800 Plus model. Since this chip is a 4-port SATA chip, it implies the use of port replication in that particular unit, which could potentially cause issues with TrueNAS. I’m not requesting a check of TrueNAS compatibility on this device, but if you have a moment, could you please look into the SATA chip used for the backplane? I would greatly appreciate this information.

      61. Very interesting product – I’ve been looking for something exactly like this. To be honest as a consumer user I’m not even that focused on getting top performance out of it. I’d be quite fine with a few hundred MB/s over ethernet via file shares. The main factor for me is the compact size, the quiet operation, the hopefully low idle power consumption, and the flexibility of it as a platform. But, I also have to say that at 800 euros it’s getting pretty expensive for a regular consumer who wouldn’t use it for work related tasks. And if someone is using it for work, then maybe they’d have a lot more options to look at from more established professional brands.

      62. Please do a test with a 3rd party OS and jumbo frames. That hardware should easily saturate a 10 GBe link even if it’s just full of spinning rust with an NVMe cache. I get better transfer speed going to a 2 bay Synology over 2.5 GBe from my desktop than you were going over 10 GBe. It has to be the overhead taxed from the lack of jumbo frame support in the OS. Let’s be honest, not a single person backing this product gives a shit about the native OS, as a matter of fact, the selling point is that I can put anything I want on it, even if it voied the warranty I wouldn’t care. How would they know? I can just plop the original NVMe back in and send it back for repair. If people really care about product support from a software level, they’re barking up the wrong tree buying anything funded by a crowdfunding campaign.

      63. Orico has a new 8 Bay USB DAS (I bought one for 144 $ on Alibaba). Which could be paired with a 250$ mini pc to basically get the same results as this 1000$ unit. I wish you had a video comparing them 🙂

      65. I saw you touched on the thunderbolt ports, but I did not quite fully understand you explanation. What do you mean when you say it will only be a host? Would I be able to connect a thunderbolt compatible computer and transfer files back and forth using the cable at full speeds?

      66. Can the software expand the raid pool by adding disks on the fly (5 drives in raid 6 -> 6 drives for example)? I would love to get the 8-bay and add drives as I need them, rather than purchasing all at once.

      69. For anyone wondering about the ECC support – DDR5 ODECC is not true ECC – “While traditional ECC ensures data integrity by handling memory errors while data is being moved, on-die ECC ensures higher reliability of higher-density memory and protects the data that is in the memory chip.” All the Ugreen NAS support ODECC, which is great,… but it is not full ECC… so,.. e.g. ZFS will not benefit for data in transit.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      70. Finally the review I’ve been waiting for! I backed the 8-bay and recently even added the 6-bay version to my pledge. As soon as I saw the specs of the 8-bay, I knew it was the NAS for a data hoarder like me! ???? I was still a little hesitant though because of their lackluster software but as soon as I found out that it is possible to install 3rd party OS like TrueNAS, unRAID, OMV, etc. and that the hardware is still covered by the warranty, I couldn’t resist anymore and backed their Kickstarter campaign! ????

        I’m also hoping they soon add multi-factor authentication too and the option to change the MTU to around 9000 to be able to fully utilize the 10GbE connection. I’m not too worried security-wise though as I plan to place this NAS behind a hardware firewall and not open it directly over the Internet (as any security conscious person should!). This is even more important since their software is very new and is at high risk of 0-day attacks and vulnerabilities.

        Another feature I’m hoping they add is options for data checksum for advanced data integrity with data scrubbing in UGOS software since this NAS doesn’t support ECC memory. Having this feature will make this NAS more resistant to bitrot and have the ability of self-healing corrupted files when doing data scrubbing.

        Btw those are some awesome noise levels! It’s much more silent than I anticipated. But I doubt it will be that silent if you are using Seagate EXOS drives. ????

        The power draw isn’t that bad either! That’s another one of my concerns. The power consumption they mentioned on ther Kickstarter page was much higher than your results. Maybe they have further tweaked both the hardware and software to improve power efficiency.

        Anyways keep it up! Great review as always! I’ll be looking foward to your review of the 6-bay unit which I also backed on their Kickstarter page. ????

      71. I’ve started seeing more and more established companies using crowdfunding to pre-load their R&D or manufacturing spend. This includes the unofficial crowdfunding methods like pre-orders with a 30-day or longer lead time before the product is actually released. I not really a fan of this mentality. In the case of ugreen I also think this is inappropriate as it shifts a lot of the risk to the customer.

      75. Is it just me or is their OS looking a lot like a ripoff of DSM?

        Also, I find the Thunderbolt and SD card slot very gimmicky for a NAS. Your NAS should be somewhere hidden, and your thunderbolt port isn’t going to be reaching any speeds of use off a network.

      79. Robbie what are your thoughts on using those Dell X540 T2 cards without the typical 200lfm required airflow? I’ve been looking at these and HBA cards which were designed to live in a rack unit with Delta screamers forcing air through the chassis.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      80. Another reason I just realized that they went to kick starter is to build a customer base. That way they don’t have to get the software perfect out the gate. And then they will have a base to attract others once the software is good.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      81. I backed this, but I think before the campaign ends I’m probably going to cancel it. If I do a build with the W680 chipset I get QuickSync AND ECC, which seems like the gold standard for a NAS build. Those motherboards are pricey, but it doesn’t seem like it’s worth saving a bit of money to miss out on ECC.

        The problem is basically every NAS chassis I can find pisses me off in one way or another. I wish there was a NAS chassis in this shape and style with full ATX support and hotswap bays.

      82. I’ve been watching your reviews on this NAS and I feel like from what you said, im going to risk it and get the 6 bay from them. I have no real need for a NAS but I want one to have a network at home to stream movies. Great stuff, i hope they continue to improve the software.

        Would anyone know if you can run emulators off of it like NES so i can play old games from a TV?

      83. Thank you very much for this review and the whole UGreen NAS Series! For the noise, I guess I would buy some Noctua fans before buying extra RAM 🙂 Exchanging built in fans with Noctua fans on brand new device became a normal practice for me. At the moment, pairing the hardware with TrueNAS Scale is the winning combination. I’m really like how UGreen handles the constructive feedback and how they are improving the software. Let’s see what will they deliver when they start shipping devices.

      85. TrueNAS Scale compatibility was my sticking point. Looking at other videos that does not seem to be an issue. Ordered it from the kickstarter. Will pair it with 4 16GB Ironwol Pro (don’t need more than that) and 2 4GB NVMe drives. Will just need to figure out the RAM specs so I can bump RAM to 64GB.

      86. I wonder if you can fit an RTX 4000 ada in that slot? Load this with TrueNAS and you can bypass the still not ready native O/S. This might make a decent system to play with some AI models. I have been sold on ZFS for quite some time despite the limitations (old Solaris admin here). Bit rot is real.

      87. Fantastic review, as always. I’ve backed the six bay, so its nice to see the larger form factors with increased capabilities.
        I wonder whether the performance on the second m.2 drive would still be downgraded if PCI slot was empty?
        Which also begs the question: What is the R/W performance on a PCI based storage card in the system?

      88. So both NVME are PCIE 4.0 x4 but for some reason the second nvme slot on your unit is operating at x1? Do let us know what they tell you the issue is… I backed the 6 disk model which I think is the exact same board just 2 more sata

      89. Thank you!! Looking forward to the 6 bay review. Excellent review as always 🙂 I agree the hardware is very impressive. Looking to upgrade from a ~2015 WD system.

(2) using the other NVME as a drive that is mirrored into a folder structure of the warm storage of the magnetic SATAs. Is this viable on this system??? @NASCompares

      93. Once again Youtubers not knowing wtf they are doing. You mention your dd “benchmark” not being cached, but it is.. That’s why your first two measurement are significantly slower; they are the real Q1T1 read speed and why copying between the drives is similarly slow. Did you really think solid state drives needs a few seconds/runs to “warm up” first, lol? Fast NVMe needs more than QD1 to achieve max sequential performance, which makes dd a terrible benchmark for them.

      94. It just occurred to me that one could probably bang in four or five of those NVMe to SATA cards (each usually support 4 or 5 SATA ports) into one of these UGreen models and be able to support something like~25 SATA HDD or ~25 SATA SSDs.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      95. There seems to be a lot of negativity around the number of reviews for this here, and that it’s a kickstarter. To be fair there are lots of reviews on this site for different manufacturers, so I don’t see any special treatment of Ugreen. Also, as a video editor this is exactly what I’ve been looking for, and based on this review, and the fact it’s Ugreen, if I could I’d be buying off the kickstarter, but sadly just Germany and US. I understand if you have large amounts of data this NAS would be limiting but as an editor it’s perfect, I still have a Terramaster with 24gigs in it to offload completed jobs. I am currently editing off the Terramaster but even with 10Gbe it struggles editing 4K due to the Platter drives.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      96. It still bugs me with mini PCs and this, that manufacturers are so wedded to the 4x4x2 (ish) form factor, that you can’t just chuck a Noctua fan in them when if it were maybe an inch or so larger, there’d be more than enough room for it. Or just sell the base version, and an upgraded fancy case.

If you have to upload manually will they be implementing it in the future so it will upload automatically? Please let me know

      100. It looks like the SSD area would be better served by housing one single fan that takes up the whole area and can spin much slower for near complete silence with the same CFM. The engineering they chose looks slick to be sure, but I abhor tiny fans
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      101. On the down side at this point the drives are going to cost you an organ, unless of course you’re happy going back to a tiny capacity NAS. On the plus side, by the time large drives are affordable we might be on version 10 and it will be much improved.

      104. what they told you about the Thunderbolt ports being “host only” doesn’t make any sense. *minimally* , support for Thunderbolt *networking* — that is, point to point, peer to peer connections between two machines (I guess in “NDIS” mode) should be built into the kernel by default. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it can’t just like, become a USB mass storage device, and never would have expected that to begin with. but the idea that it “just can’t” make a Thunderbolt-Thunderbolt connection between itself and another host at ~40G for networking doesn’t pass the smell test. I suspect someone mistranslated something in emails.

      105. really unfortunate that this system just seems like a solution searching for a problem. I’m really not sure I understand what niche role this actually fills. It just seems so half-baked as presented, with the seemingly alpha-state software (same as the other boxes) and the limited PCIe and Thunderbolt functionality, at the price bracket it’s being sold at.

      106. The biggest issue is not the supposed risk crowd-funding platforms might have, but the fact UGREEN is using Kickstarter for marketing purposes. UGREEN is a 12 year old Chinese company. I’m pretty sure they have enough experience in the market to determine if a product will sell or not.

      113. @35:53 – Wow, that is terrible. Might be OK for a single HDD but nobody is spending the money for a 10gbe NMVE NAS for that level of performance when writing large sequential files. If I got this and didn’t see it writing/reading at 900MB/s+ I would assume something is very, very wrong. Until they resolved it, and have proven it isn’t some hardware limitation/bad design that can’t be fixed with software, I wouldn’t fund/order this.

      118. If it could do thunderbolt in client mode then that would be a complete game changer. Like this I dont see the advantage over their other boxes which also have 2 SSDs. Essentially it seems like you are getting 2 SSD slots but losing all the HDD slots. If you could use it as highspeed thunderbolt storage, then that would be really cool for people who edit photos and videos on a macbook or something. Did they indicate if they want to add both ways functionality to the thunderbolt?

      119. I’m new to the NAS home desktop servers. But not the concept. I ran my own Telecommunications Company for 12 years serving large corporations. (HPs International Headquarters, Met Life, Ingersoll-Rand, Burns & Roe, etc) basically 1000 employee workstations or more. Retired in 2010.
        I’ve been watching your channel nonstop trying to find what I consider “bare minimum” for an NAS setup. Which is 2000TB in a RAID2 configuration based on Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray disc size. I’m not reducing quality when I rip. That’s the point. I buy these formats for the quality. I do the same with music, when I rip CDs it’s at 320 unlimited. My music collection is over 7TB alone. I don’t care. I want the quality I’m paying for. Otherwise just get crappy streaming services.
        3 years ago drive sizes were 22TB. 3 years later it’s still the same? WTF is going on. According to Moores Law I should be looking at 96TB drives today?
        So let me just ask strait out.
        What’s the best way right now to build a 2000TB desktop NAS server?
        Thanks for your help.

      120. Another NAS without ECC…catering to the least common denominator yet again. Oh, and NO! $779 is not cheap for a NAS like this without ECC. I just built a 2U rack mount flash setup with ECC and far more capability for just under $1K US.

        Its really sad that a NAS specific channel like this so easily dismisses the fact that all these systems do not have ECC.

      122. Why would I buy a turnkey NAS solution just to install a 3ed party OS on it? ????

        Wish they use intel/broadcom/mellanox 10gb chip .

      126. Thanks for digging into the hardware and showing internal file transfers. Try unraid with zfs1 of 2 or 3 drives and see how fast it is, just to verify it’s not OS/driver related. I think you are correct that the pcie and network are somehow connected to a pcie switch. That would explain the drop. Or that Aquantia nic has incorrect driver. I would pre order one, but can’t as not being able to saturate 10Gb is a no go. I think you’re beating them up too much on the security part. If account is local then let 3rd party do 2 factor, same with malware, etc.

      127. Another of your amazing detailed videos, thanks Robbie ????
        Whilst I’m not in the market for another NAS, I’m still following along the UGREEN story with interest!

        I’ve been pretty happy with my Lincstation N1 (I got in January at the amazing crowd-funding price of £230 ????, rather than the now Amazon price of £400 ????)
        It’s got 3 (of 4) 2GB NVMe’s and 1 (of 2) 2GB SATA’s installed and whilst the network/drive performance isn’t amazing, it works more than well enough for basic home NAS requirements (it averages around 15-20W’s and the fan is barely noticeable even in a totally silent room!)

        For me in a home environment, low-cost, low-power, lots of functionality (thanks to UNraid) and ‘just enough performance for Plex & home-server stuff’, is more important than worrying about saturating the SATA, NVMe, 2.5Gb, etc limits!!

        I’ve (hopefully ????) got a ZimaCube N100 turning up in the next month or so (got from KS for around £430) at which point the N1 will likely be sold on. The ZC probably won’t be ‘twice’ as useful as the N1 (at almost double the cost), but the 10-bay (6x 3.5″ +4x NVMe) drive capacity, should see me fine for storage for the foreseeable future. Plus the N100 might be a tiny boost over the N5105, and I can increase the memory to 32GB (vs the fixed 16GB in the N1)

        In future, I think I could see the value of a higher performance CPU (more processing power and especially more PCIe lanes).

        Thanks again for all your fantastic NAS coverage (I think you are the GO TO source on YT for this sort of thing ????????)

      130. *IMPORTANT UPDATES* – 1) Power Consumption Tests were removed from this video, as an update to the system services has changed the results and will be revisited in another video very soon. 2) PCIe Lane allocation is under re-investigation, as in post-production I noticed an 8GT/s x4 downgrade that I need to check was unrelated to the tested drive vs system lane allocation. 3) UGREEN states that system optimization is still ongoing and the 10GbE SMB performance will be better in the next large update.

I was interested in the 4bay or 6bay options… The 3dP OS capability does not look important compared to their inability to provide delivery to some countries on the planet *apart from two (2!)*… That, also coupled with a strange KickStarter-only nice price, looks like another blatant cashgrab, like several other KickStarter projects.

        This is definitely not befitting a company with more than 10yrs presence on the market – it creates a bad precedence for their future product lines and it is a valid reason for many people to stay away .

      140. Thanks for this. Not sure how I missed the boat about that 40% discount but that alone has gotten me very interested in this, so it seems I have less than 24 hours to decide if I want to pull the trigger or not.

        For that price with that hardware, I’m considering just getting the 8 bay and sitting on it a while until I can get good prices on drives and give them time to sort out the software etc. or reverse the decision about voiding the warranty if you install another OS. It’s completely unusable for me without Docker anyway, as I do everything with Docker Compose.

      144. A few questions, does it come with 3.5 to 2.5 inch adapters? Also do you have the 6 bay model? curious about the size of the PCIE x4 expansion slot, wondering if one can shove a GPU in there
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      145. I’m seriously regretting my QNAP TS-464 purchase 16 month ago. It looks like Ugreen have done an initial good job. It looks a smart thing, probably the best looking box out of all of the competition if it’s on show. The SD slot, brilliant addition, I don’t regularly use SD cards, but sometimes I do get client video footage on SD cards, and it would be great to just dump straight to the NAS.

        Finally, a NAS that has easy access for the RAM and NVME slots, the TS-464 isn’t too bad as you just pull the drive bays to get access, but my hands aren’t great and I struggled to get RAM and the NVMe’s into the slots; the access panel is great, I remember the days laptops had them and upgrading the RAM and drive was a 5 min job. It’s also great to see the OS being an actual removable drive, so if the drive fails, or you need more space for apps etc, you can upgrade it, big thumbs up there, it should increase the life span of the NAS, as I’m sure over the years the OS will get larger.

        Onboard 10Gbe is a massive plus, but it needs to be true 10Gbe, 700-900mb/s transfers realistically, otherwise work on a solid 5Gbe the is consistently 500mb’s. I’ve added the 10Gbe NVMe addin card to the TS-464, in hindsight a waste of time and money due to PCIe lane limitations that I didn’t fully understand when I bought the NAS, the best transfer speeds I get is 270-500mb/s (more often than not the lower end of that range), the 2.5Gbe is also great too rather than 1Gbe. How I’ve got my networking set up is, all my containers use the 2.5Gbe port and 10Gbe is restricted to video editing PC interaction.

        Software – 100% agree on the UI font, it’s awful, and akin to the 90s/early 2000s, it certainly isn’t on brand with Ugreen branding, on their website they use Poppins font, why wasn’t that used? A modern on brand font needs to be used to fit the overall look of the NAS. The transfer status definitely needs to be in window as well as in the main Tasks menu, QNAP and Synology both have a status icon on the window you started the transfer in, with a popout for all current tasks, including remotely started tasks. Custom folders for media definitely needs to be enabled. The OS definitely has a Synology feel about it, rather than QNAP, I think it’s wise for Ugreen to go for something in between, I’m use to QNAP’s QTS, I find Synology’s OS a little too simplistic, but something in the middle would be nice for the average user. For all the flaws in the software, the good thing is it is software and can be improved with each update, more important is the hardware is right, and I think overall they are offering a far better hardware package than anyone else.

        Regardless of the current state and we know it’s not finished, if Ugreen really are serious about getting into the NAS game, this and future products really could shake up the turn key NAS market, I honestly think QNAP and Synology isn’t always the best value for money, and often their hardware choices on stunted their NAS’s.

      148. I like Synology software – with a bit of luck this UGREEN NAS will finally force Synology to put some decent hardware in their next “plus” generation – much better CPU, integrated GPU, 10GbE, more RAM – and also move away from their lock-in on RAM modules and HDD on their higher end gear. If not, as the software evolves, I might just have to make the move.

      149. Looks great, but UGREEN should stick with their stuff which are good. A Nas is a very complicated product to execute properly. I bought a second hand NAS from QNAP, and this thing is old; and still recieves some updates now and then. I do not see this happening with UGREEN. The cooling, i see no proper vents on the front. So it looks like it will suffocate a bit in warmer weather. Also, a little critisism; the splitscreen video for showing closeups is not really an addition, the right side image is a tad soft and less contrasty. The audio/video lag between the two shots is distracting more than it is worth your time editing this in. Your main camera captures it all just fine in my opinion.

        Is it in general possible to use this NAS (or any other) for hoarding data, especially videos etc and use a Mini PC as the Plex server that accesses the videos from the NAS?

        My use case would be mostly for storing digital documents, photos and videos. Since they currently don’t seem to have a Plex app, I wonder if above solution would be possible.

      154. If the only thing that we miss out on is the warranty but we still have the option to install 3rd party OS options. then I think that’s acceptable. worst case use it stock until the warranty expires then upgrade to a supported 3rd party OS (or sooner if you don’t care about the warranty)

      155. I’ve been saying for a while that I don’t understand why this processor hasn’t been more popular with these kind of devices. The 5 core 1P+4E benchmarks pretty close to the N100 overall, but it has a bunch more PCIe lanes.

      156. Looks good I am considering; however …… they should have concentrated on the hardware and put something like TrusNAS on, or allow you to choose an OS when purchasing. Companies shouldn’t keep trying to reinvent systems. Would have been relased quicker and less expensive without their custom software. I would be happy with Ubuntu server with ZFS. But would be overkill, so I should stick to repurposing old hardware I suppose.
        I worry about the Drobo situation if they kill this project. Wouldn’t be great running out of date NAS software.
        The hardware looks great and mature.

        I can’t see trusting an incomplete, crowdfunded solution. And, face it, the main reason for crowd funding is when the company doesn’t have the resources to complete the device without getting money up front. My conclusion is that either Ugreen really doesn’t have many resources or they are using crowd funding as a method of marketing.

      169. Nice hardware specs, but now a total failure unless you live in the US or Germany. I was very excited initially, I was ready to order on the kickstarter, I need a new NAS now, but then found out if you now don’t live in those places then you have no idea when it will come to other regions. The RRP is not in the least competitive so unless you have loads of spare Dosh and don’t care about cost, you will choose a different vendor – Ugreen have no pedigree with NAS devices, they have no track record with NAS systems. I have tons of Ugeen devices, love them, but this NAS release is totally daft and a massive turn off. I will get the Terramaster instead, the 424 has good hardware, a sensible price, and a good pedigree, and if don’t like TOS I can replace with TrueNAS or Unraid, or Proxmox. I feel quite let down, especially as the restriction to US and Germany only appeared later.

      170. Thank you for the video.

        I really like this product, and for me, a 40% discount to essentially be a public beta tester with such good hardware seems reasonable. I think we have to consider the price difference between the Kickstarter campaign and the recommended retail price (RRP). It’s unfinished, the OS still needs some work, but I think that makes the 40% price discount reasonable.

        I mean, if we compare this to other NAS devices at the same price segment, we have to overpay for the software on those (bundled with really weak hardware). Although I still think (and I think I mention this all the time) that most of the software options other brands offer are still much worse than 90% of the open-source counterparts, but it is what it is. Most people like it for some reason. Although in my humble opinion, Synology is kind of the Apple of the NAS world. Until you show people that there are much better solutions, they are fine with something mediocre. Like… a usable Docker UI on any one of the NAS OSes?… Anyone?… They should just stop wasting development time on creating limited, useless “apps.” They are in the F league compared to the mature open-source solutions like Portainer, Yacht, heck even DockGE, which is like 4 months old with only a single main developer.

        The only thing I really dislike in the Ugreen NAS lineup is the price difference between the 6 and 8-bay models. A 50% price increase for just +2 disk bays? For that $300 price difference, I can pick up a 6-bay USB DAS (for example from Terramaster) and double the number of my bays.

        I have two questions, if you have some time. Does the fan in this model have a regular 3 or 4-pin fan connector, or is it something proprietary (like TerraMaster’s mini connector)? Just because with a 5-year life expectancy, it would be cool to be able to swap out the fan for something else in case it has any problems (like wearing out the bearings and starting to be louder).

        Also, since you have experience with the TerraMaster F4-424 (Pro), which is probably the only comparable product to Ugreen’s 4-bay models at the moment (hardware-wise), and both have one large fan at the end, is there any meaningful difference regarding noise levels between the two? I don’t need exact measurements; I am just curious if you have any opinion on this topic.

      180. Great Review. What’s really a bummer is the idle power consumption of about 55w with 4 drives. That’s about 35w for the nas alone, which sums up to 300kwh a year. In Germany this alone costs 100€ on the energy bill for the nas alone.

        Existing products like QNAP TS-464 needs about half of that in idle.

      181. Which way does the air travel through the system? Is it from rear to front or vice versa? The reason I ask is I suspect that I would assume that the air is coming in from the font and is blown out the back at which point the filter in the back is of no use.

      182. For the SSD model review, I think the following would make your review stand out from the rest. Can you test RAM with speeds above 4800? Does it support XMP? Can it do 48GB sticks? What happens when you use 990 EVOs that only use 2 lanes of Gen 4, will all of them run at Gen 4 for speeds then? How well does thunderbolt 4 behave on Unraid. Just some points I think people would like to know, keep up the great work!
