I use my Synology for backing up photos and occasionally viewing/editing word and excel docs in the Drive app. Does UGOS have the same ability to do this like the Synology Office app? Also I don't recall you mentioning backing up IOS Live Photos.

Thanks.

I've never used a NAS but want one for several reasons. First, I use a 5TB external HD to store music, movies, and time machine backups of my Macbook. The 5TB is nearly full, and I believe it's starting to fail, so I want to replace it with a NAS that has more storage and is set up with RAID to protect from future failures. Second, I'd like to access files when not at home and save on paying monthly subscriptions to Google Drive and Apple iCloud. Third, I want the NAS to manage torrents (music, movies, etc). Fourth, I want to play torrented movies on my living room TV and abandon my current inefficient workflow of loading and screencasting movies from my iPad Lastly, I may have other use cases I'm not yet aware of, and I don't want to regret my purchase because it can't do something I discover later, but I'm overwhelmed by all the options and picking a NAS to buy is difficult.

I am buying a travel trailer and working remotely, and I want to have storage to save pictures and short videos. I am looking for mainly storage. I need something shock-resistant, SSD, either 2.5 or M.2.
I am a Splunk SME, so I may decide to use this for my data storage, and I may need a VM or Docker.
I need a 5-year warranty on drives. (this is optional)
I work for SanDisk so that I will favor their drives. I will have at least two drive redundancies and prefer 5-6 drives.
The ASUSTOR Flashstor-12 seems to be a good fit.

I'm in the market for a 4 bay NAS and am torn between the Terramaster F4-424 Pro (N305/32GB) and the Ugreen DX4800 Plus (Pentium 8505/8 GB). My current NAS is a Synology 218+ (J3355/6 GB).

Main usage:

- Storage of media files
- Media playing via Jellyfin
- Docker containers (Jellyfin/Paperless/Wiki/CalibreWeb/Thunderbird)

More than likely I'll install TrueNAS Community Edition on whatever box I buy. I'm also toying with the idea of making storage tiers (2 * NVME/2 * SATA SSD for docs + container storage/2 * HDD for backups and media). 


I really like the solid look of the DX4800 Plus but the Terramaster would come out of the box with more memory which iirc is just plain better for ZFS. The low power consumption of the N305 is also appealing. 

Anyone with experience on both these boxes? Also, are you able to peg the power consumption in the bios of the DX4800?

Hi folks, I've just read an article on lilliputing, about the ;

XCY X108 NAS 4/6/8 Bay 2.5/3.5 inch SATA HDD Intel N150 DDR5 M.2 NVMe SSD 10G Ethernet Type-C

1x10gbe, 2x2.5gbe 6bay N150 with 2 nvme, barebones for AU$412.99 seems pretty good to me...

So far i have 1 Synolgy, 2 x QNAP, 1 x Unraid DIY. But you can never have too many.

Wondering if you guys are looking at testing this unit?

Cheers, keep up the great work.

I am looking to consolidate to 1 NAS for Plex and File Backup (hobby photographer with lots of RAW photo files). I am looking at the QNAP TS-h3077AFU but am curious to know how loud the system is (will be populated with SAA SSDs, but work in IT and I know how loud server fans can be so curious to know how loud the system can be even with silent drives in it).

Hello!
Thanks for your fantastic work!

On my wishlist for a new video:
- Resilio Sync
- Syncthing

To me the feature that makes all the difference when comparing NAS systems is the on-demand sync that Synology Drive provides.

I'm always surprised that this is seldom mentioned or explained when other systems are compared with Synology.

There's a huge difference between editing a file locally or a file on a NAS.

Somewhere I read a comment that there are alternatives that can be installed on for example a UGreen NAS
- Resilio Sync
- Syncthing

It would be great if you did a video on how to install and use for example Resilio Sync on a UGreen NAS!

Thanks
Henrik

(Personally I recently bought a DS923+ because of the - you know what! - and the Synology Drive. )

hi there, big fan of your channel and reviews.

I have just found this NAS board and your review for CWWK M8 N150/N355. I am still relatively new to all of this and am learning along the way. I am really interested in using a Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO (https://www.sparkle.com.tw/en/A310-ECO) for Plex transcoding purposes but I am not sure if this will fit. The PCIE slot on the board looks quite a bit further in and I know that some smaller slots work on larger cards with a slight downgrade in performance but I am not sure on how that all works.

I'm very familiar with computers and have built many pc's in my time but I've never tried to build a NAS before while trying to juggle a good mix of cost to performance to power consumption. I am essentially thinking of building a low power nas with this GPU for plex and that is essentially it. I have an intel nuc that was decommed through work which I use for proxmox so dont need the nas to handle anything crazy because the nuc handles that.

Trying to decide if I should aim for 16 or 24 TB of usable storage on my NAS build which will be used as media server for movies/tvs shows (plex), music, all the stuff on my icloud (between the 5 members of my family we currently are using about 1tb).

Going to build my own server - not buying prebuilt.

Don't want to go overboard but also want to future proof.

I have a Asus FlashStor FS6706T with all 6 bays filled in with 4tb NVME each.

I have two volumes running a raid 5.

Recently, one of the NVME drives failed and I tried to replace it with same said NVME but it wont rebuild and says inaccessable.

If I remove the volume that works and free up the other 3 nvme's, can I use one of those to do a rebuild of my other volume?
