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

I’ve never heard that before. I have all HDD bays populated on my UGreen DXP8800 Plus and both M.2 slots populated as well. No issues.

I have a QNAP TS-431 too. It’s sort of decommissioned now at an offsite location. Same for my old Synology DS1815+ doing some basic tasks. My main NAS units now are a QNAP TS-653D (6 bay) and a UGreen DXP8800 Plus (8 bay). If you’re coming from a QNAP TS-431 and it’s served you well, you might want

Ugreen SHR As of August 2025, UGREEN does not offer a Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) equivalent in its UGOS operating system.

That said, almost from the start they were very open about letting you installing your own OS, so that is

Nice, I have something similar but my DXP8800 Plus was among some of the first to ship sourced through the initial Kickstarter. The NAS itself was under $1000 USD. It’s populated with seven 16TB WD Red HDD and two 20TB WD Red HDD in RAID 5. Risky I know but the data is duplicated on another NAS so i

Same, I have a UGreen DXP8800 Plus populated with six 16TB WD Red and two 20TB WD Red drives. No issues whatsoever. I haven’t tried ZIMAOS but I would like to. I’ve been thinking of setting up ProxMox on a DIY server so I might try it there. If you try it (or anyone else) I’d like to hear about your

There can be signs that a drive is failing but not always. If you have a questionable drive maybe proceed without said drive. RMA it if you can. Personally I have seen my UGreen DXP8800 Plus be a bit more sensitive to HDD configurations. This is neither here nor their but if I were to pull a HDD fro

I am not sure if they will release new models as the current ones are from last year. So I am running a DXP8800 Plus with 8x 2.5" SATA SSDs from Samsung and I am very happy to moved from a Synology DS1821+ to the Ugreen NAS.
