Confused - Enquiries - 04-11-2024
Hi,
I wrote you 2 weeks ago and got a great response, thanks and sorry to bother you again. After that I was ordered TS-473a but cancelled it after I saw the hardware (TS-473 has a CPU from 2021)on UGREEN series and watch your videos. But I am very confused now.
I liked to use the NAS for backup my media over cloud (photos from my phone), create some WMs, SMB and Plex. So, I thought that UGREEN solution DXP6800 Pro has a perfect price/performance machine which I can use for a long time. But when I start to read software part I started to afraid because the software is not good enough and we could now will it be supported or not. I also create a WM for Truenas scale, it seems good but don't know can I trust third party apps for backup my media. Also, I want to start 2 -3 hdd not want to use all drives while I don't have that much data, so I need to be able add new disks and increase my pool. Is it possible on Truenas or other alternatives?
Thanks again,
Best regards,
Oezay
