Finally getting around to my review of the UGREEN NAS. The device that is going to be replacing my TerraMaster unit that has been storing everything on my home networks for years! This NAS from a hardware side is nearly perfect, and it will be fun watching the software improve.

So much more I wanted to cover, but this video was already way too long. One thing I'd like to note is the mobile application is awesome, BUT it current does not have automated photo backup. If they had this, it would be HUGE for me. Regardless, to check out the mobile app and more check the description for the related videos.
These NAS are all sold out :/. Such good prices for the kickstarter prices
One of the best reviews so far!
Thanks for the video, this looks very promising! Especially after installing TrueNAS.
I am always cautious when a company send their products to every content creator. I just think there is something off. I could be wrong.
"to everyone and their mother"….meanwhile me trying to find a 2nd hand pc or laptop so that i can do my project
But, you know, you can just press ctrl+f12 to get to the Ugreen BIOS.
Man, it seems like such good NAS boxes, especially for the Kickstarter price, so I'm just salty about it being US and Germany only. My country is even right next to Germany 🙁
Every content creator and their mothers. That's funny. But so true.
I appreciate the review, was just curious are there NASes that use NVMe drives or is it only HDDs?
16:55 is smb better than ftp?
Kickstarter only available in the US and Germany.
I hope this forces Synology to upgrade their hardware.
Thank you for the video. You may have already heard this by now, but it was put out a short while ago that you can enter the bios by hitting CTL + F12 at the sane time.

Edit: Added link for reference.
Great video as always 👍 Great channel.
Free advice: don't go for kickstarter. Not worth the risk of not getting rewarded. Kickstarter is not shopping. Project backers should be prepared to accept a complete loss of funds without recourse.
Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.
P.S. Is there a timeline where some units already were unsuccessfully marketed for 6+ months within a big, non-US market? In such a hypothetical, isn't unsold overstock a better name for some models or vapourware for others? Putatively, don't bankruptcy-remote corporate subsidiaries under certain jurisdictions drive market selectivity and information asymmetry between project backers and project creators? Just tin-foiling here. Keep fast and decide in your sole and exclusive discretion.
Synology is great but the h/w specs are pretty jank. Glad to see these pushing to much better stuff, like N100 for a minimal starting point.
I would get one if it supported ECC.
8:42 Why would you install edge? does bill gates hold you at gunpoint?🧐 To confirm just breathe in your next video.
Does it run PLEX ?
I will be very curious how you are using this in 3 months. Will you give up on the software and install something else.
The problem with "end-user" NAS solutions is that most of the people looking at these types of products are also people who probably know how to build their own NAS using things they have on hand. It is a matter of question, "Do you prefer DIY over just works solution?"
I would probably custom OS it after buying so it is rather not a solution for me.
You mean psu not pcu 😂😂😂
I was curious about this. The thing that made me not back it was that I couldn't get a straight answer about what date their software does and can collect. I handle a lot of stuff subject to fairly stringent NDAs and security agreements. I loved the just plug it in and I can stream the videos anywhere, but need to know that the files and their data is not accessible by the company.
NAS!! So many possibilities!!
They are sending this NAS to every Youtuber I follow 😁
Great hardware, software… Well, not so good
As a tech geek I don't want something I can just plug in and know it will work; I want to build (and have built) something which is just pure jank and does a ton of other weird stuff that would never usually be wise to incorporate into a NAS.
Wery good quality video
