    I think you need to do videos like this one full time. You have done an amazing job describing each step in setting up the Ugreen NAS and I REALLY loved the RSync from the Main NAS to the Backup NAS.

    Thank you for the informative videos! Getting so excited to receive mine next month! Regarding the Network Bridging feature, please correct me if I'm wrong. This means you can plug your 10G-ready computer into one 10G port on NAS, then the other port is connected to a 10G port on your 10G switch, and your 10G-ready computer would then be connected to your network at 10G speed? It's effectively connecting THRU the NAS to the rest of the network?

    • @forestchaput
      @forestchaput  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes! That is correct.

    Question for you @ Rocky Mountain School of Photography. When accessing files remotely, do you have to download the file to work on it then upload back onto the NAS? Or can you simply open the file, and work on it, and quick save as you're working, as if the NAS is an extension of your desktop?
    Question about backing up your NAS to another NAS offsite. Can I use a different NAS other than UGREEN? Is it difficult to sync if it's not another UGREEN? Also, If I decide to use another UGREEN NAS, does it have to be the same size as the main one? I just order the 6-Bay UGREEN. Could I get the 4-BAY as the backup as long as the hard drive space on the 4-BAY is equal or greater to my main 6-Bay?
    Your videos on this NAS system are supper informative! Thanks in advance!

    • @forestchaput
      @forestchaput  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That depends. If you setup a VPN, you can VPN into your home network and access the NAS as if you were sitting at home. If you don't want to go that route, you can just use the Ugreen web browser which yes, would require you to download, edit, then re-upload to the NAS.
      As of right now, the Ugreen can only back up to another Ugreen. I imagine they are working on support for other brands though. Mixing bay numbers is completely fine so long as there is enough capacity on the target NAS.

    Can you make another video explaining the different ways to connect to the Ugreen NAS at a remote location? I can't seem to find any other video's explaining how to do this with the UGOS. And I myself am very new to the whole NAS experience. I am currently running a DXP 4800 Plus myself :)

    Thank you for this great Video, but let me ask one question. In the Video you describe that you use 2 NVMEs for the read and write cache. The size of the NVMEs you use are 1TB but you selected for the cache a size of just 600GB. Now my question is, can you use the 400GB as a Volume for Virtual Machines and or Docker ? This would be an great option for me.

    Thank you for this! I have the UGREEN 8 bay and so far it's great. I have these old Terramaster 5 drive bay enclosures that I have been using with SoftRAID on my Mac. I just cleared one entirely and am wondering if there's any feasible way to have the UGREEN software (VM maybe?) RAID them independently of the internal RAID and let me access them through the UGREEN's own USB ports? This way I can use them to dump backups from my NAS itself.

    • @forestchaput
      @forestchaput  หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @PizzlesTechTime
    @PizzlesTechTime หลายเดือนก่อน

    I ended up going to micro center and buying the wrong switch apparently they don't have any managed switches that are multigabit. So now I have a Netgear switch that is not capable of link aggregation. I was going to add another computer to the network switch to edit with the NAS. However I think I will have to return this one and find a managed switch

    • @forestchaput
      @forestchaput  หลายเดือนก่อน

      An unmanaged switch should be fine. I'd prioritize 10Gb over having something managed.

    For the Remote Access, is it that only one ugreen account can be linked to the account? So if I wanted other people to be able to access their limited folders, it won’t work over remote access unless they use my account?

    • @forestchaput
      @forestchaput  หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a wonderful question. They don't need to be part of your account, but they will access the NAS through their web browser at the same URL you use. They will just use their own login credentials to access their limited folders.
