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 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

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

Exactly. See comparison between UGREEN NASync DXP8800 Plus and DS1825+ here. You can use Xpenology on Aoostar NAS. Or on your own build/hardware. Whatever you choose. I would highly recommend ARC loader since it's modern, versatile and easy to use. Take a look at it's FAQ and you'll see. IMHO whatev

Synology DS1815+ user here, upgraded to a UGreen DXP8800 Plus with no regrets. I’ll likely never buy another Synology NAS and the UGreen is the best NAS I’ve owned thus far.

DXP8800 plus, w 64gb and 2 nvme added. It’s superb hardware, UGOS is perfect for my needs. It’s also Debian under the hood. Install tmux via dpkg, used rsync to move data from my Synology 1621. Expanded raid to 8 x 18tb from 5 drives to start. Used portalner, deployed stacks for plex, *arr, nignx, p

For me: Integrated GPU passtrhough would be the most useful. That would probably impact the most users right off the bat. My second priority would be PCIe passthrough. I would prefer not to have an external GPU on my DXP8800 Plus but would like to use the PCIe. I think all three will be greatly apre

You probably need an 8 bay UGREEN NAS with 8 x 30 TB drives, 2 x 8 TB SSD drives, and a sweet copy of plex. That should do the trick https://nas.ugreen.com/products/ugreen-nasync-dxp8800-plus-nas-storage?from=mega-menu
