What's the need for software to run on the NAS unit?
IOW what software is there on the synogology that I would want to run on Ugreen?

Unit is there as a Dropbox replacement
So, live backup and sync. For Android, Windows Desktop and MacBook
And version history for files from Windows and MacOS
I use Goodsync currently on Windows

Hello
I have a Synology DS 224+, with two 8TB HDDs installed. Most of the data I have is not critical, so rather than mirror the whole disc as with Raid 1, which would halve my storage capacity, I would like to just mirror my important files. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance

Good evening,

I love watching your videos, and I bought a ds920+ based off your recommendations and videos on them. It has been fantastic for a few years, now I am looking to upgrade and build a much larger storage device. However I also want to build a gaming pc, so my hope is to build an all in one.

This is a link to a build I made on Newegg I just don't know if there would be any issues with it.

https://newegg.io/ce23daa8

I've seen some of your videos saying how certain CPUs are better for servers. To make this I basically googled best gaming components added those, searched best tower pc cases for nas build, and looked up cards needed for 10gbe and sata cards.

Any input would best fantastic.

Hi, great video and article, here is my issue.
I have a PC and Mac connected at 10Gpbs to a qnap NAS, all jumbo frame enable, and using speed test by openspeedTest, I get the 10Gbps speed no issue.
Now, with the mac, I can get about 800MB/sec write and 1101 read which is not too bad, even if it would be nice to have a bit more write performances
With the PC, I only get about 500MB/sec write and 900 read, clearly there is a bottleneck on the Windows 11 PC somewhere, do you have any idea how to optimze it? I did use the recommended cmds in
power shell
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

Set-NetAdapterRss -Name "10GbE Adapter Name" -Enabled $true

netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=disabled
netsh int tcp set global chimney=enabled

The last one does not work by the way, but it really did not change anything...
Thank you

Complete NAS newb here. And would love some help! 

I've been trolling through product reviews and tech spec's for days and cannot make a deicison. 

I'm a home studio audio engineer who previously had a Macbook Pro with 8TB storage, and since purchased a Mac Studio with 2TB - so figured I would invest in a NAS. I also use PLEX at home, so would like something which can store media and playback from my living room TV via PLEX App.

Bonus points if I can use this as file sharing with my band members, so I can get away from using GoogleDrive, Dropbox and OneDrive. 

Here's what I think my requirements are:


- Loudness: Whether I am putting this thing in my Music Studio or Living Room (TV), I am extremely concious amibient sound. This is probably my biggest consideration. 
- Storage: I haven't got into whether I want to put the NAS in a Raid5 config yet, so as a start I'd need at least 2x2-4TB SSD. I've read a lot of reviews about M.2 being a lot better than 2.5 SSD in terms of read/write speeds. 
- Cost: I'm happy paying between $1k-$2.5k AUD, but would prefer that to include the cost of the NAS + drives. 
- PLEX: Being able to save media directly to the NAS, and play from my living room TV in 4K streaming. 
- External Connectivity: Able to share files with people outside of my home network, but locking it down to user by user access to specific folders on specific drives.  

I had shortlisted the following devices, but they all had their pros/cons which stopped me from purchasing:

- QNAP TS-410e: This was what I almost purchased based on reviews from Music creators, but three things stopped me - #1 the longevity of something which doesn't have a fan, #2 the network speed (2.5GbE), and #3 you're restricted to use 2.5" SSD and not M.2 SSD. 
- QNAP TS-i410x: My reasoning for reviewing this was that I thought it was the same as the 410e but allowed for a faster network speed than the 410e (e.g. 10GbE vs. 2.5GbE), but after reading the tech spec it doesn't seem to boast the same "noise-sensitive environments" use case, and instead more towards industrial use. 
- QNAP BS-h574TX: At first glance this SHOULD be my choice, although the cost (i3) was more than I wanted to spend. But I watched videos of someone in a Podcast studio and the Fan noise when pushed to higher limits seemed to me to be a lot. But I'm unsure if the fan % would actually get that high in general use. If the sound was too much I would need to home it in my living room, but then I lose the benefit of the Thunderbolt Network connection direct to my Mac Studio.

Hi there, hope you can help. I have 2x 873AeU NAS. 35TB data. Snapsync is working great keeping the two NAS units sync'd with each other. I want to have a daily incremental backup that is sent offsite to Backblaze B2 or similar. I have hit a wall with everything I have tried (too many things to list). Preferably the offsite backup will be in some sort of immutable format like Macrium Reflect would achieve (Macrium Reflect backup from ZFS shared file is way too slow). Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can achieve a daily off-site incremental backup? Cheers

Looking to replace an aging home built NAS with something more power efficient.

Current server specs:
Supermicro X9DRL-7F mobo
Dual Xeon CPU E5-2650 v2 @ 2.60GHz
32 GiB DDR3 Multi-bit ECC RAM
1 TB SSD cache drive
8x 10TB WD HDDs (shucked drives) with 2 used for parity, and 6 for storage (60TB)

UnRaid OS
Dockers:
- Sonarr/Radarr/Readarr/SAB+
- Plex
- Roon
- Immich
- Hoarder/Karakeep
- calibre

Looking to replace existing server before it starts to fail.

New build constraints:
UnRaid OS
Intel CPU
40 TB storage minimum
Enough 'oomf' to run the dockers listed above

I'm OK to put together a system, but would prefer purchasing something 'off the shelf'.

Hoping to migrate all media to new server, and use old server for backup only.

I'm in Canada, so need to be able to source parts here.

Thanks for your advice!

Hello
I would like to buy a Synology NAS for 4k plex streaming require multiple streams at the same time, file sharing, and Data Storage. I was looking at DS1621xs+ but I think that has been discontinue.
Any other advice would be appreciated.Thank you for your time.

Re the ugreen 8800 plus. In theory could you install a data/sas card in the pcie slot (sas expander. Hmm) either with or without external ports and expand the physical number of disks in an external box or is that software locked? As you have one there to test with,.....

Hi,

I really enjoy watching your videos – thanks for the great content!

I’m currently looking for a NAS/server solution that could be considered an all-in-one powerhouse: quiet, compact, scalable, and future-proof. We’re in the process of building a new house and setting up the entire network infrastructure based on Ubiquiti, including 10G networking.

At the moment, I’m testing an F8 system running Xpenology. While the hardware is decent, I’m finding that TOS just isn’t mature enough for my needs.

I’m torn between the NAS systems mentioned in your video title.
What’s your personal recommendation or experience?

Best regards,
Stephan
