DXP8800 Plus

I’d avoid Synology, they’ve been causing quite the controversy lately. UGreen has some nice pre built NAS in 2/4/6/8 bay models that let you install any OS you want, including TrueNAS. They have a 4 bay model and another 4 bay with 10Gbe. DXP4800 and DXP4800 Plus. Base model is Intel n100 CPU with 3

Well, there is this: https://www.techpowerup.com/347798/dram-manufacturer-stock-prices-dip-over-google-turboquant-announcement However, it would be unwise to bank on the idea that prices will drop significantly anytime soon. IMO, and for my use case, 96GB of SODIMM DDR5 RAM isn’t worth the current p

I think it will depend on your goal. I actually have two Ugreen NASes, a DXP4800 (N100) and just recently bought a DXP8800 Plus. My answer is: The OS will depend on what you'll want from it. If you're not super tech savy or want something simpler to deal with, I'd say UGOS is more than fine. You hav

An alternative to consider: a Ugreen NAS, specifically the DXP8800 Plus. Why? it has 8 HDD bays and two NVME drives, which meets your storage needs it’s within your price range it has dual 10Gbe so you can work on files directly off of it, assuming your network supports 10Gbe it also has Thunderbolt

UGREEN DXP8800 Plus. Wipe the OS drive and install TrueNAS. Build quality is very good, though not quite up to UniFi standards. It has a 10-core i5-1235U and you can stick up to 128GB of DDR5 in it if you want.

You didn't mention budget but if you are going for new: Have you looked at something like a UGREEN NAS - these come with 6 core 12th gen intel chips whose iGPU supports INtel Quicksync for all your hardware transcoding needs:https://nas.ugreen.com/products/ugreen-nasync-dxp4800-plus-nas-storage?from

I have little experience with QNAP NAS solutions—I have one of their switches and it's great—but I do have a DXP8800 Plus and for your needs, UGOS should be fine. UGREEN also will continue to support the hardware if you install a different OS on it (e.g., TrueNAS, Unraid, Ubuntu Server, etc.).

I bought an UGreen DXP8800 Plus, I figured I couldn't build an 8 bay pc with that kind of spec and use as little power in a compact form. Yet I can still install any OS I want on it as it's just an x86-64 pc at the end of the day. So it's happily running Proxmox now

Since you’re in the TrueNAS subreddit is it safe to assume you are comfortable installing and configuring TN on a NAS? Also, what’s your current network hardware like? Aka do you have 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 10Gb, etc networking? For clarity NOT your ISP speeds, your LAN speeds (network card in the computer

During the first UGreen NAS Kickstarter I sourced a DXP8800 Plus. It came with an 8GB DDR5 SODIMM and I figured I’d upgrade to 16GB which I did rather cheaply by buying another 8GB SODIMM. The thinking there is that I could always upgrade to 64GB later. That was an error in thinking but hindsight is
