As first time NAS user I found the hardware quick and easy to setup. Getting for backups of phone and computer working was also a breeze. The photo app works really well. Some good guides online to set up the media server of your choice - plex, jellyfin, emby etc. They are a bit more complex, but follow the guides and its not hard. I could not be happier with this NAS. The better than average hardware was what sold me. Their apps are getting better and better every month.

Needed a NAS to replace aging HP Homeserver and this popped up.Easy to set up and use with opportunities to expand and Docker built-in makes it a great alternative.

I was skeptical about this NAS as to how it would compare to my older Synology unit. After unboxing and installing I’m thoroughly impressed with its simplicity but super powerful and speedy. I’m using 2 12TB NAS drives to keep my network and servers continuously backed up. So far, I’m thrilled with the purchase

So far I found the NAS system to be great, unlike it’s user manual. Without youtube videos I would be lost as I don’t have any NAS experience. Five points for the NAS hardware and minus 1 point for the manual giving an overall score of 4.

I'm using this NAS with 4 12TB drives in a Raid 5 configuration, giving me roughly 32TB of reliable storage. I say reliable because each of the four drives is set up with reduntant storage, so that if it fails, it's data is already backed up on the other three.This sounds complicated, but the work is all handled by the software; you plug in the drives, attach it using Ethernet to you router, turn it on, and you're good to go. Install the app on a desktop, and it will find the NAS and walk you through the set up.Tis NAS has 4 bays for hard drives, and two for NVMe SSDs. The SSD can be used for additional high speed storage, or as a cache. I have a 1TB SSD configured as a cache.I've already set up the software to back up my desktop, and to act as a media server for the whole house. By downloading additional software, in my case, Jellyfin, I'm able to stream music and video to any device in the house, which is very nice. The specs of this NAS will support streaming and transcoding of 4k video, although I rarely store 4k files. Bluray is good enough for me, and takes up a quarter of the space.The software that comes with the NAS is decent, if a little basic, but you can easily install more robust applications as you need. BUt if you're just getting started with file servers, the included software is all you need to tart learning.Finally, this NAS is not the cheapest out there, but it is very flexible, fast, and feature rich. I don't expect to be replacing it any time soon.One important thing to know: spend the extra money on drives rated for use in a NAS. Unlike your desktop, the disks in a NAS are spinning almost all the time. NAS rated drives are designed for that kind of use; desktop drives are not.

I cant believe that no review videos, redditors, or reviews have said ANYTHING about the terms that you are forced to sign to use this hardware from China. This is not being zenophobic, but really read the License agreement and terms that you have to sign when getting this. (Not verbatim but from memory)"You may not use this product for business purposes without the express written agreement from Ugreen.""You may not use this product in any way that does not conform to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China.""You may not store or transmitted anything on this or out services that we deem a subversive to the PRC."And it GOES ON AND ON AND ON.At the very end, it states that they don't have access to or read any of your data. I doubt that that is true. And even if it is, you are signing away many more rights than you realize BECAUSE NOBODY READS WHAT THEY ARE SIGNING!You could wipe it and install something else, but that does nothing for the hardware aspect of it.Only a fool would agree to any of this.

Outstanding packaging. Upgraded memory to 32GB and loaded 3 8TB HDDs. Booted right up following the instructions included. Instantly recognized on network and proceeded with updating. RAID 5 took about 8 hours to complete. Uploaded files and automatically generated thumbnails for video files! iPhone is excellent. Great value and features especially compare to Synology. Quiet operation and super fast connection using the 10GB ethernet port

So far I've had a blast playing with this NAS. It's a bit different than the other NAS systems, but once you learn to specify the file locations in docker, you should be good to go. The 10gbe connection has been a welcome addition to my network!Look into adding the velcro mod to quiet the hard drives down. I noticed they were louder than I'd expected until I put some strips of velcro in the case. Now it's silent!
