Finally getting around to my review of the UGREEN NAS. The device that is going to be replacing my TerraMaster unit that has been storing everything on my home networks for years! This NAS from a hardware side is nearly perfect, and it will be fun watching the software improve.

So much more I wanted to cover, but this video was already way too long. One thing I'd like to note is the mobile application is awesome, BUT it current does not have automated photo backup. If they had this, it would be HUGE for me. Regardless, to check out the mobile app and more check the description for the related videos.

Great video, and will be taking a peak into it. Quick question, what keyboard did you have in the video? Co working is looking for a new keyboard and that looks like it might fit what they are looking for.

As a tech geek I don't want something I can just plug in and know it will work; I want to build (and have built) something which is just pure jank and does a ton of other weird stuff that would never usually be wise to incorporate into a NAS.

@TechHut 2 ай бұрын

I made a really janky Zima board NAS build I while ago. Actually, worked really well. There is a video of it if interested.

The problem with "end-user" NAS solutions is that most of the people looking at these types of products are also people who probably know how to build their own NAS using things they have on hand. It is a matter of question, "Do you prefer DIY over just works solution?" I would probably custom OS it after buying so it is rather not a solution for me.

@satysin630 2 ай бұрын

Yes and no. I’ve run Linux since 1998. Worked professionally with it since 2002. Im very comfortable managing NAS and SAN solutions in the enterprise for my day job so I could easily roll my own at home and that is exactly what I used to do but these days I prefer to go with a purpose built solution with my data storage. I have backups so it’s not a data loss worry. It’s a time thing. I prefer to spend my free time learning new things not managing my NAS and considering how cheap (compared to my time) home NAS solutions like these are it’s well worth the investment for me personally.

@MisterMister5893 Ай бұрын

Lazy people do exists. Hi! I could probably build my own but it's too time consuming and stressful troubling shooting. This is a bit more money than I'd care to pay considering they have no pedigree like Synology. How does a Chinese brand get to compete with the big boys right off the bat? Such arrogance.

@colt5189 Ай бұрын

I plan to get a NAS at some point and use ethernet to connect it to my Wi-Fi mesh router. And use Wi-Fi to the NAS to do a daily backup of my main laptop. Especially since they have been doing away with a 2nd hard drive in laptops as I'd use that to make backups to.

@colt5189 Ай бұрын

Is there any reason to get a 3.5" drive NAS over a 2.5" drive NAS?

@antoniomromo 2 ай бұрын

I was curious about this. The thing that made me not back it was that I couldn't get a straight answer about what date their software does and can collect. I handle a lot of stuff subject to fairly stringent NDAs and security agreements. I loved the just plug it in and I can stream the videos anywhere, but need to know that the files and their data is not accessible by the company.

@TheLinuxGallery-qz2vs Ай бұрын

It's a shame that it only realistically allows BTRFS. That NAS looks awesome, but I REALLY hate BTRFS. It's tolerable when working with someone else's system, but ZFS is the only filesystem I could ever use on my own storage pools.

Great video as always 👍 Great channel. Free advice: don't go for kickstarter. Not worth the risk of not getting rewarded. Kickstarter is not shopping. Project backers should be prepared to accept a complete loss of funds without recourse. Kindest regards, neighbours and friends. P.S. Is there a timeline where some units already were unsuccessfully marketed for 6+ months within a big, non-US market? In such a hypothetical, isn't unsold overstock a better name for some models or vapourware for others? Putatively, don't bankruptcy-remote corporate subsidiaries under certain jurisdictions drive market selectivity and information asymmetry between project backers and project creators? Just tin-foiling here. Keep fast and decide in your sole and exclusive discretion.

Way to expensive. Same with Synology. These boxes are way too expensive for what they are. We still have to purchase drives to fill these boxes. By the time you are done completing the build for these boxes, It's going to come out around $2000 or more 🤷‍♀🤦‍♂
