Raid 1 Mirroring is for data redundancy so all data written on the primary drive gets copied, aka "Mirrored", to the secondary drive. Raid 0 Striping splits data across multiple disks allowing for increased speed and capacity. However, in Raid 0, if one drive fails...your data is gone. Awesome video as always Ken. Ive been looking for a large storage device so this is on my radar now thanks to you
I've seen the UGreen brand a bit more lately, glad to see a review and a run thru. I've been using a 4 bay Synology which allows enough redundancy to allow 2 drive failures (power surge/lighting strike are the most likely reasons 2 drives would fail). The 2 bay is a good start for anyone though and IMO is near mandatory period, but even more important if you have any concerns about cloud storage visibility by others. This UI is similar to the Synology brand, many features are quite similar. For those worried about drive life, if you're buying NAS rated drives, they take into account a duty cycle bot typically seen by conventional laptop/desktop computer use. Many NAS drives are good for 5 years with no downtime...mine have been going strong for at least that long, and if they fail you can even hot swap the drive. Great review, glad to see a Synology competitor, they both seem to be top quality!
When the eclipse happens here in Houston we will be 90% effected. I thought I would take my DJI Mavic 2 Zoom and go up about 250-300' and park it there videoing the skyline of downtown Houston. Other people may have ideas on doing something like this.
I've been thinking about a NAS setup, so I found this video very interesting. Great review, you provided most of the information I was looking. But everything does come down pricing, so I will do a little research in that regard. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the review. I'm looking for the following information about this device in particular. Size of the fan (I know DXP4800 as a 140mm one). Size of the device. Power consumption idle/load/spin up. Thank you so much.
Hey Ken, love the video! Question for you. Do you think this is something that would be good to grow into or is it overkill ? I use to shoot a lot of real estate but now have been moving to sports videography. I want to make videography my full time gig and am working toward that. That being said I only use about 50-60% of my current 1 TB SSD. Do you think this is overkill for me or is it something that would be good to grow into? Never looked at a NAS system but this seems so convenient that it makes sense.
Hey Ken, do you film horizontal videos in 120 or 60? I only have a74 and would have to film at 8bit 1080p for 120 fps, but I’m tempted to do it cause my current videos don’t look smooth
sonoma has been awful for attached storage. lost 4tb of photos and footage, so stick it in and remove it when done. dont let your mac go to sleep with an external drive in. its a huge issue.
Why is every other youtuber advertising Ugreen NAS all of a sudden? Like the ones who never advertised about Synology or QNAP are suddently talking of Ugreen.
I hit them up at CES , I had other brands they were slow , also this is a new frontier for them. I always laugh when reading these comment because it’s a new release and they are marketing it
Ken, don't push shitty appliances like this. The NAS space is oversaturated with junk. HDMI ports do not belong anywhere near a storage device. You should own more of your architecture at this point.
I use these to backup my raw files so I can recall on it. I also like the HDMI, if I wanted to take it from a storage to media server I can. Lastly don’t ever come here on my f***ing channel and tell me what I should do.. that a great way to get check and bounced on your ass harder than a bum in New York City.
Thanks for the review. I see it is a kickstarter program, and I could not easily find the anticipated price (after the promo periods). Any idea what the price is expected to be? Also, I was confused as to whether you can use NMVe and SATA at the same time or only one of these options? Also, I have a couple of suggestions (please take them as my attempt at being constructive). I wish when people are doing reviews they would state the price soon after starting the review. This would let viewers know whether it is in their price range, before spending the time to watch the entire video. The 2nd suggestion is to use a lower screen resolution when doing screen captures so that the Gond and menus sizes are larger and easier to read when watching the review on smaller devices. Thanks again!
What a shitty reply, obviously you got kickbacks if a little feedback hurts you. Content creators should not be pushing shitty storage appliances, period. UGREEN is a charging company, they don't know storage, and you are a beta tester. Despicable. When the youtube money dries out, you'll understand.

Nice, comprehensive, and honest review, Ken.

Good to have redundancy like this

I tried synology about 3 years ago and it was painfully slow.. this just feels like I’m using a second computer for storage

Now go watch uncle Marcus’s video so he don’t feel left out
Road to 100K🎉 LET'S GO!
Yassssss 🙌🏻
I like your review way better than the one I did. 😄 Seriously good review Ken.
Thank you for the review. I'm looking for the following information about this device in particular. Size of the fan (I know DXP4800 as a 140mm one). Size of the device. Power consumption idle/load/spin up. Thank you so much.
UI looks like a Mac desktop. I like it, clean and raw.
Reminds me of Samsung DEX slightly
My family takes so many photos of the kids and events that cloud isn’t an option anymore. This is by far the my best option for me.
It really is
@@OriginaldoBo Can you ask, or do you know if they will make a DAS version of this? Thanks
I signed up for their kickstarter, was debating pulling the plug. Saw the email this morning and need to read it more.
I’m going to snag a larger unit I need to store these ronin files more efficiently

Every time I say Ugreen, I think of Ruby Rod from The Fifth Element. "It must be green, mkay?"
SUPER GREEN
😂
This seems like a great solution
For us it’s essential
Hey Ken, do you film horizontal videos in 120 or 60? I only have a74 and would have to film at 8bit 1080p for 120 fps, but I’m tempted to do it cause my current videos don’t look smooth
I always film 60 fps and walk smooth
You should see my drives I've collected over the years. I should have got a NAS earlier than I did😂
I have a NAS now , I think I’m going to get the larger one and max it out
@@OriginaldoBo 196TB? 😲
Seems like an excellent solution.
Nice just offloading directly to it
Absolutely🙌
have you measured the idle power consumption usage (watts) and under load?
2 bay upgradable RAM interesting usually you don’t have a option for 16GB RAM option for two bay nas. I wonder how they stack against Synology?
I think it’s beats them out simply because there is no lag
Do you know why they are only shipping to Germany and the US? I wanted to pledge this unit but they are not shipping to the UK.
I’ll ask them
Do you have any numbers for the power usage (idle/max)?
Haven’t looked into the idle power consumption yet
What file system options do they provide in their custom OS?
Really haven’t paid attention to the power consumption external supply like that isn’t going to draw much
There are a few in there, I’ll add them to the description.
sonoma has been awful for attached storage. lost 4tb of photos and footage, so stick it in and remove it when done. dont let your mac go to sleep with an external drive in. its a huge issue.
My Mac’s never sleep
does it use proprietary software of any kind? im weary of backing up anything to drives that have their own type of compression algorithm.
There is a os on the device but it’s localized
@@OriginaldoBo awesome thanks for the response. I will have to look into them some more thank you!
Can you post the DXP2800 noise levels
mine is silent
@ > 7:25 M8 ... 51+% of the ppl use windows ... nice 2 see how it works on a Mac, thanks for showing this product ¶ ; - )
Works equally as well on windows 🪟
