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

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.

I have the DS1819+ loaded with all 8 drive filled. I used it as my media server for many years happily. I began recently getting movies that synology wasn't powerful enough to convert. I fully planned on buying the new synology 8 bay but decided with the drive restriction to switch to ugreen. I got

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

When people say I'm out, that's a tall order to think about, there aren't many options similar to Synology. #1 Qnap: similar to Synology, it's a proprietary system, do you want to leave one proprietary system for the same concept just because you want freedom to use whatever HDD? Also Qnap has had s

UGreen DXP8800 Plus (Kickstarter) user here. While I am satisfied and curious about the new offering, I’m also interested in the Zettlabs lineup which look really good.

Zettlabs has some interesting offerings too but I’m not sure if they are in Kickstarter yet. Anyway, the new UGreen offerings look good IMO. Nice specs. I’ll stick with my UGreen DXP8800 Plus though.

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

Synology actually did me a favor — they cheated me just enough to make me discover the real NAS world out there. I dumped both my 1520+ units for a fully loaded UGREEN DXP8800 Plus, and wow… night and day difference. They can backpedal all they want, but I spent good money with them only to get burn
