This uses the same Core i5 1235U (10 core / 12 thread) CPU as the 8 bay UGreen DXP8800 Plus NAS (with Thunderbolt 4) I bought on Kickstarter at just under ~$1000 USD. Retail price for the UGreen DXP8800 Plus is about ~$1500. The difference seems to be that the UGreen DXP8800 Plus has 4 more HDD bays, 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, better design (metal construction), internal PSU and a less polished OS (UGOS Pro) that need a lot of work.
@@jtaulen I meant for something like in an office environment during office hours, the same way that laptops have kensington locks - just to stop the opertunist thief, or to prevent someone being overly curious and opening a bay ( I know they are hot reload, but still ); out of these hours anything of value would of course need to be further secured or / and backed up offsite. I have an old Qnap TS-670 pro that has a metal case, locks on the bays and a kensington lock socket, so at some time someone thought these were worthwhile things to have. Of course, I guess it's in the name 'pro', but a nas around the $1000 mark is I would suggest beyond most home users and at least getting into semi-pro territory.
@@SomeOne-p6fNAS/server/network/cctv equipment should place in server room or mini rack which has proper lock and restricted access I don't expect a nas will sit on the table beside the guest welcome table ? 😅
@@SomeOne-p6f my friend run small business have them put on high up in ceiling /cupboard The smallest shop was like 20square ft and he still manage to put few server /nas high up there securely If need more locking , a wooden or metal box with lock can do the trick (made sure it have fan and vents) I can't understand why big concern drive cage / nas missing a lock. If anyone can access your equipment physically easily ,that's will be the bigger concern for me . E.g. insert a USB with harmful software/code ?
In the US, $900 is a bit expensive for something like this. I get it can do all it can do but just NO. Get a full blown server at that point. Yes, these can be geared towards the plug-n-play crowd that just wants something that works with limited config but also wants all the options if needed but for me, I'd rather have a whole mini server.
Nice powerful machine
It sure is! It is not fast for a PC,, but it is very fast for a NAS
It would be nice to know if you can get 10Gbs out of those dual connections at the same time. Same for the USB ports.
It is possible..

This is really good NAS hardware,, and the software is getting there.. Terra Masters TRAID is a copy of Synology´s SHR,, and is really cool.
Why do brands no longer put locks on the drive bays? Also what about a metal frame and a kensington lock?
Because if they have access to the device, having a small lock on the bays or the device itself doesnt stop anyone from getting it.

@@frankwong9486 You're talking big business, what about small offices? Do you think big businesses uses these? Think estate agents etc...

Hej Morten, it would be nice to see if it can run docker containers…?!
Looking forward to the next video
I am sure it will handle a container or two :-)
👍 great 👍 great
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool, because now you can give me the other one 😅😋

Compare it to Synology´s 4-bay nas,, and you get a lot more. This is for home or SMB..
