Taking a quick look at the process for replacing the included operating systems of a couple of consumer NAS devices with your own. We think both the UGREEN and the Terra Master are pretty good options for this, and you can do it without taking apart either device or voiding your warranty.

Just knowing that it is possible to install a 3rd party OS on this UGreen NAS without even disassembling it will be a big boost on their Kickstarter campaign. UGreen seems to be keeping their warranty too on the hardware even if you do install a 3rd party OS.
I already backed the 8-bay model. Those specs with the super early bird pricing is hard to beat. That would cost you more than twice if Synology offers something similar. 😗
thanks for the most helpful video regarding ugreen’s nasync, my guy.
You can hit ctrl+f2 or type systemctl reboot --firmware-setup while ssh in on the ugreen
Thanks for watching! Modifying the EFI partition will also keep the original OS from ever being included in the boot priority selection which I prefer.
@@TwoGuyzTech You can also just use dd command to backup the current firmware to restore anytime you like
I preordered that same "plus" 4-bay unit on kickstarter. I'd like to make an anime plex server on it for teenage niece. I am definitely interested in a custom OS for it. I have prepurchased 4x 22tb seagate ironwolf pro from Newegg, this will be fun Thank you for this in depth knowledge no one else on RUclips has gone this deep!
Thank you so much!! We think you'll be really happy with the unit.
this was very helpful, thanks!
Awesome video!
Please test this with unRaid and TrueNAS, thanks!!
Thanks for watching! Planning to cover this in a future video on a very similar piece of NASync hardware.
I'd probably first boot Clonezilla and make a disk image of the original OS. Then install a clean build of Debian or Ubuntu.... or NixOS
This is the way
Since they can't void a warranty because of a sticker, just replace the internal NVMe with a new cheap one and store the original incase you ever want to go back.
Good idea
Thanks for watching. I would sincerely hope that UGREEN would work amicably with customers in this situation, but, it's hard enough to get even US based companies to stand by their warranty if you break a sticker. We agree warranty stickers are absolutely ridiculous and completely infringe on consumer rights, but the power to exercise it or not lies with the manufacturer unless you have the resources to take them to court. Goes for just about any huge company, take a look at Apple.
So in theory I could install proxmox on this unit along with pfsense, home assistant etc? If so I could replace my HP SFF pc
I’m kinda of a noob so sorry for dumb question. Do I need to leave the usb plugged in to boot into the os ?
do the HDD led work on 3rd party OS? or any way to fix it from looping?
Does the fan works with custom os u need to tweak settings
Anyone know of a good solution for an iOS app that will connect to TrueNAS Scale on the Ugreen NAS?
An explanation of how to revert it back would be nice!
Thanks for watching! Pretty much the same process, if you install Linux or boot into a Linux USB you can run all the same commands to mount the EFI partition again and rename the "EFI_RENAME" folder back to just "EFI". Hope this helps :)
@@TwoGuyzTech Thanks for clearing that up it's just what I thought. Can you recommend a Linux I can run from USB for basic stuff like this.
One question is it possible for Ugreen in an update affect your method?
Also in terms of someone trying to use both OSes
Thanks for watching! Not with an update to UGOS. Since it's just a mini PC there's no very good way they could break this method without making major changes to the UEFI firmware, which we don't believe they have any interest in doing. Hope this helps!
GREAT VIDEO LOGAN!
Thank you for watching :)
Synology on Nas hardware ?
What would happen if after changing the efi files and you are thrown into the bios after reboot you could not disable the watchdog timer? Would the system now bootloop forever/become bricked?
You are right, mine is bricked, I am so regret that I didn't disable the watchdog before I modified the EFI partition.

It might be a silly question but what is the best Linux system to start a Minecraft server so easily
Thanks for watching! Not a silly question at all. Debian Stable would be a good place to start, since it's a "point release" distro, meaning it gets major stability and security updates every once in a while, as opposed to a "rolling release" which constantly pushes new package updates that could be less stable. There are also many guides for running Minecraft servers on Debian and Debian based distros (like Ubuntu). Hope this helps!
Someone wants to build a custom control script for the front status LEDs? :)
Quick note about mounting the wifi partition. It was already mounted, under /boot/
This is standard practice on most Linux distros.
I have a feeling that was purely to pad the video to hit the minimum time for ad revenue. Just saying "enter mv /boot/EFI /boot/EFI_Renamed" would have cut 2 minutes off of the video 😂

BIOS ≠ UEFI
