IMPORTANT UPDATES – 1) Power Consumption Tests were removed from this video, as an update to the system services has changed the results and will be revisited in another video very soon. 2) PCIe Lane allocation is under re-investigation, as in post-production I noticed an 8GT/s x4 downgrade that I need to check was unrelated to the tested drive vs system lane allocation. 3) UGREEN states that system optimization is still ongoing and the 10GbE SMB performance will be better in the next large update.
It still bugs me with mini PCs and this, that manufacturers are so wedded to the 4x4x2 (ish) form factor, that you can't just chuck a Noctua fan in them when if it were maybe an inch or so larger, there'd be more than enough room for it. Or just sell the base version, and an upgraded fancy case.
If only it was fanless, passively cooled. There's a missed opportunity not making it perfectly silent IMO. The most interesting option I've seen so far is the one LTT looked at recently, the Friendlyelec CM3588.
Another of the channels that got the NAS was able to get higher network speed by increasing the RAM to the maximum
The seagull was not outside my window? 😂
Why only shipping to US and Germany?
Pointless.
I'm wondering about a NAS to put in a car as a media server. After I saw another channel do a video on the FriendlyElec CM3588. I wondered what you thought about something like that. obviously I don't want to use any spinning disks & that one sounded promising. In the car I was thinking videos wouldn't need to go above 720 p.
A question I’ve been trying to get into touch with UGreen about there mobile app because I have a question if you know the answer that would be great, will the mobile app automatically upload your phone to the Nas or do you have to upload to the Nas manually? If you have to upload manually will they be implementing it in the future so it will upload automatically? Please let me know
Any knowledge on being able to get the kickstarter discount prices with shipping to the UK?
Currently it only shows USA and Germany.
The ssd screws are so important, you have to mention it twice in a row 😂
Does it have the capability to deploy a Virtual Machine?
I buy a Nas because of the software. Otherwise I would go DIY.
It looks like the SSD area would be better served by housing one single fan that takes up the whole area and can spin much slower for near complete silence with the same CFM. The engineering they chose looks slick to be sure, but I abhor tiny fans
With ugreen nas lineup are you able in docker to change what storage pool the container lives in?
On the down side at this point the drives are going to cost you an organ, unless of course you’re happy going back to a tiny capacity NAS. On the plus side, by the time large drives are affordable we might be on version 10 and it will be much improved.
Thanks for another nice review it’s good to see where things are going. Will look forward to it becoming mainstream.
great review, thanks for all the helpful info and updates on all the ugreen nas news. really excited to get my 480t 👍
For an old man who doesn't speak English like me, it's not easy to follow but I'm trying hard. Thanks for his work on the channel.I ask you if you can tell me about good quality SSDs specifically for NAS with medium and medium/high prices. It would help me a lot. The content he makes on NAS is fantastic 👍🏻
@nascompares Are those test results using default 8GB RAM or full 64GB RAM? If it's the default 8GB RAM, can you please redo the tests using 64GB RAM? I'm just curious if it will make any difference. Thanks! 👍
Great video as usual, this unit can be converted to an unraid server simply by booting with an unraid USB or there are additional steps?
what they told you about the Thunderbolt ports being "host only" doesn't make any sense. minimally , support for Thunderbolt networking — that is, point to point, peer to peer connections between two machines (I guess in "NDIS" mode) should be built into the kernel by default. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it can't just like, become a USB mass storage device, and never would have expected that to begin with. but the idea that it "just can't" make a Thunderbolt-Thunderbolt connection between itself and another host at ~40G for networking doesn't pass the smell test. I suspect someone mistranslated something in emails.
really unfortunate that this system just seems like a solution searching for a problem. I'm really not sure I understand what niche role this actually fills. It just seems so half-baked as presented, with the seemingly alpha-state software (same as the other boxes) and the limited PCIe and Thunderbolt functionality, at the price bracket it's being sold at.
The biggest issue is not the supposed risk crowd-funding platforms might have, but the fact UGREEN is using Kickstarter for marketing purposes. UGREEN is a 12 year old Chinese company. I'm pretty sure they have enough experience in the market to determine if a product will sell or not.
Can you shrill anymore for Ugreen ?.. honestly how about you just say No … I will not “ review” an unfinished non shipping product…. I am really disappointed with your channel lately you might as well just rename it Ugreen
far from even being useful. the drives are only accessible via a hatch in the bottom of the device??? so one would have to pull the device out of its place, unhook everything and flip it over and…. i wouldn't want one from free.
Great review. I would have preferred that they did PCI 4 x2 lanes for each of the 4 instead of using PCI 3 x 2 for 3&4. I'd probably buy if they had they done that. That said, they've done a better job than the others.
Thank you for your review. This kind of storage box, will get down in price, as the nvme and SSD will be more expensive.
It's a shame it pnly does host based TB4. I would have loved to connect my Macs to it.
Fine if you live in the US or Germany otherwise kind of pointless review "Ugreen NA Sync Series on Kickstarter will be available in the following countries: US, Germany"
This is so great! Love the videos you make about these Ugreen NAS. Really love this model with m2 SSD, and have backed for one on Kickstarter, so its nice to learn the products more and see what they change based on feedback in the close future close to release!
Software looks almost like a Synology copy
I think your videos are just mega. You help many users, including me, to make the right choice. Your diagnosis is precise and quite accurate and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have pre-ordered the DXP 4800 Plus and the DXP 480T Plus because of your videos which I find exciting to follow. I think it's great that Ugreen has eased up a bit so that you can install other operating systems such as Unraid or Truenas. Thanks for that and I think your work is just great. 👍👍👍👍👍
@35:53 – Wow, that is terrible. Might be OK for a single HDD but nobody is spending the money for a 10gbe NMVE NAS for that level of performance when writing large sequential files. If I got this and didn't see it writing/reading at 900MB/s+ I would assume something is very, very wrong. Until they resolved it, and have proven it isn't some hardware limitation/bad design that can't be fixed with software, I wouldn't fund/order this.
