I know they had a crowdsourcing campaign for this last year. Does anyone have any opinions on this vs Synology?

I still haven't seen anything on it review-wise that wasn't from some obviously paid influencer. I have been curious about picking up one of their 2-bay models though (LINK [bhphotovideo.com]) just to test it out and mess with the OS. Gotta say though, I have been running Synology units for almost a decade now and they have never left me wanting for more other than a lower upfront cost!

Ugg really, how? I'm seeing 630 after coupon.
Edit: that's not the plus model you are looking at

I've been in the same boat waiting for Synology. This does seem intriguing.

Glad I'm not the only one who was waiting for a decent Synology deal. Black Friday was useless. But I'm done waiting too. Going to pick one of these up and try it out.

Looks like it's possible to install another OS? Also this is a Chinese company, any security concerns?

Same but that'll have to be $700-1000 I'd guess.

I have two Synology NASes and one UGREEN. I wouldn't pay full price for the UGREEN but I got in on the Kickstarter. For the price then for what I got, it's amazing. The hardware is solid and it works well. The caveat to that is I switched to unRAID because I didn't want to deal with an unknown OS that was still mostly in beta. UGOS was okay, but I wanted something that would be solid for years. unRAID fit the bill. TrueNAS would be good too, but I didn't want to wait until 24.10 for the switch to Docker.

Now I use Synology as backups for the vital data on my unRAID. So from a hardware perspective, I recommend UGREEN. Even someone wants something that just works well enough, the UGOS is fine. It's far behind Synology but it's okay. If you don't mind fiddling a little, use some other OS.

Going forward, I'm done with Synology. They've been and are great, but are just too expensive for me. They are great for people who need something easy to use. So for several of my family members and friends, that's what I recommend. For others who are fine installing and managing a new OS, you can do better building your own and using unRAID or TrueNAS or getting something like this UGREEN.

I still think this isn't priced quite low enough, but if you want some solid hardware and a system you don't need to build, this is fine.

I'm a little distrustful of most tech so yes, I have security concerns but so far haven't read about any specific issues with the built-in OS. It's simple to install a different OS -- Windows, Linux, or various flavors of NAS-specific OSes -- TrueNAS or unRAID, etc.

I'm currently running unRAID on mine with Ubuntu and Windows 10 VMs. But I have the more powerful UGREEN NASync DXP6800 Pro. That's not worth the price they charge on their website but at the Kickstarter price it was an amazing deal for the hardware.

I'm running TrueNAS on it, but the native OS isn't as bad as people say. It's just not quite as feature rich as others.

Looks like Microcenter still has it for the same price https://www.microcenter.com/produ...skless-nas

I don't need one right away, I think I'll wait for either this or the synology equivalent to go sub 500.
I know synology has worse specs, but a celeron or n100 is plenty capable for a NAS. I would prefer my NAS be stable over compute heavy, anyway, so it's just whichever one comes up with the better deal.

Micro center wanted to charge for shipping
