Does the Thunderbolt connection work fine with 3rdParty OS?
Would be awesome if you could review how TrueNAS is runninng on these units, wondering about the idle power consumption on TrueNAS
I am super happy that we can use unraid. Thanks for the update!
3rd party also makes it longevity wise when you can throw what ever os you want onto system.
In your honest opinion… QNAP TVS-h874-i5 vs DXP8800 PLUS what the better option? I'm asking because I use PLEX, and my HDD keeps on dying. I need to invest in something serious to keep my movie collection safe and handle my 4k movies. Thanks for your work!
It would be REALLY NICE if they decided to sell these in two tiers: 1) as originally offered and 2) Bare, NO os and NO os drive, at a (hopefully greatly) reduced price for the hax0rs among us.
I kept thinking about NAS and realised i could just plug harddisk into my desktop
how do you connect a display to the nas to change boot config and such?
Has anyone run DSM on these ?
I wish Terramaster or someone else would offer official support for unraid and then offer a 1 drive unit for offsite parity drive backup
3rd party OS is also a thing when the hardware itself is good, but the software is not supported anytime in the future. Nothing as bad as when you have to get a new device with completely new, totally different software, because the manufacturer decides what you can do with your device. Or how about removing functionality from the device you purchased via updates?
With 3rd party software you have consistency, you don't have to learn new environments and you don't get your features taken away (that easily). New device? Pull the drives out the old one, into the new one, install your OS, import the config files and there you go. With proprietary OS the hassle can be massively more difficult…
Even if there is a Plex app in the "app store" it will still be installing via docker. Thanks for the video.
Sweet! I'm still going to replace the internal NVME so I can keep the two for real use. As long as you do not damage a device, they can't void the warranty. That's been settled in the US for a while.
Is it possible to move easily from UGOS to unRAID – without affecting your current raid and the data within the drives? Like, installing unRAID and (more or less) just use the same raid configuration and the data within it, that has been gathered while using UGOS?
So it looks like there's no crazy stuff like Terramaster resetting their boot order to the internal USB… good. But I still don't think they are very open to people removing UGOS, simply from the fact they still put warranty void stickers on one of the screws.
Hi and THANK YOU for the explanation. Although I am still undecided whether I should leave the pre-order as it is or really cancel it before the deadline expires. It is important that this Ugreen software is really stable, security is given and if it really should not be so that you can avoid third-party providers and not lose the warranty. I'm looking forward to your next video and wish you a nice day.👍
No one in their right mind would replace Synology's DSM on one of their devices, assuming whatever version is still supported by Synology. Let's hope UGOS matures to such a level that no one would look to run a third-party OS on a Ugreen NAS. [I have the all-flash unit on order.]
what turned me off was that can only currently get it in the US or Germany, i dont beleive they would offer the early bird prices to other countries.
I need Ugreen to understand: they have built their brand on hardware. it's what they're good at. their hardware is great! this hardware is great! the all-Flash machine is imo a perfect Proxmox machine up there with the Minisforum MS-01 (just a little more focused on NVMe storage – so a perfect Ceph node). they really need to be less stubborn about their OS. it is not serving them well.
This makes the hardware much more attractive. Thanks!
Your videos are very much appreciated.
Nailed it. I'm not really wanting to risk my data to a new Nas OS. Plus some of us might be comfortable with another OS. I told them on the Kickstarter page – They should continue to develop the OS while allowing 3rd party. When the NASync OS is super good, I am sure many people won't bother switching. But I do hope they always continue to allow an option.
UGreen backpaddled like crazy when seeing the initial backlash. Without backlash they would not have done so… This is why it is so important to give companies all hell when doing trying to pull shady crap.
I do applaud UGreen's decision nonetheless. This is now a contender for me personally.
Please measure the idle power usage on unraid for example. This is the only thing holding me back from funding it
Honestly, if it wasn’t for your coverage on their NAS devices, I wouldn’t have been comfortable getting one. Thanks man!
Yes, I was definitely on the fence, but now I am much more interested.
Thank you
When they release the feature hybrid raid, like Synology SHR, are you going to make a video on that?
Thank you for updating us on the status of 3rd party OS on these NAS.
@nascompares Have you seen the video of this NAS showing how crappy the thermal paste they used on the CPU and that replacing it got the temps to go down to almost half? It was in German though but you can see clearly they didn't do a good job on the thermal paste application. I hope they switch this to a high quality thermal pads or better yet… liquid metal instead.
My Minisforum mini-PC uses liquid metal and the temps are great! It idles around 30°C and doesn't go above 80°C when stressing it.
Thank you for this video. This is what I was looking for.
can you install ugreen os on custom PC?
Cheers mate. While I have still backed the 8 bay, I'm more and more feeling like I'm going to cancel and go DIY. I'm just not sure saving $500 is worth losing ECC support and IPMI and such since I'm going to do ZFS. But it seems like everything will be a compromise unless I put in a rack.
I'm planning to do a W680 build so I can have QuickSync and ECC support. I've looked at different boards, and I can either get a micro ATX board without IPMI or an ATX board with IPMI. But if I go full ATX basically it seems like the only good hotswap chassis with full ATX support are rackmount ones, which is a bummer.
I must say that you are doing a fantastic job covering this product release. Everything there is to know for us buyers/general audience, but also for Ugreen as a company that needs input on what matters to "the people" in the western NAS and homeserver market. I hope it all works out great for the backers and Ugreen's NASync series.
Great hardware, UGOS up and coming so only time will tell if the OS reaches parity with the third party stuff
Others did their one and done UGREEN NAS video, so i definitely appreciate your UGREEN series. Each one makes me more and more happy I decided to go with their 8 bay. The amount they have raised so far is impressive. Genuinely curious what they were expecting from it
Why 3rd party OS ?
1. Feels like more control and more way to mess with and playaround
2. Their turkey is still raw (hell kitchen) which suppose to work out of the box
3. From the tone of their representative i feel trust issue there , sorry mate ,no 😂 i wont put my data on your trust me bro development UGOS
Honestly this is too much fuss and trying to push a manufacturer to do just as everyone pleases. Try that with any Apple device and ask them for support – good luck with that! Just give them time to mature their OS and the apps and until then stay clear of their devices if you are not comfortable with their software!
