Forgot to mention, I do like the look of the new Ugreen units, but two issues..
Firstly not available in the UK, yet (take them to The Hague for discrimination!)
Secondly you can’t use mixed HDD sizes.
I like the idea of populating with say 4x10TB hard drives, and then as one fails or requirements necessitate, replacing one or two with say 16TB drive, and then a few months later replace the existing 10tb drives with 20TB drives as prices fall etc.
Many of the DAS units appear to be restricted to HDD sizes, a while ago it was often 16 or 18 TB HDD, Do NAS units have the same restrictions?
