I ordered 2 F6-424 Max today I'll install one with 2x4TB NVME and 6x4TB SSD and the other with 2x4TB NVME and 6x18TB HDD. I have one question. When I install TOS on the NVME. How many space is reserved by TOS ? I want to use the rest as very fast storage
I am traveling this week, so I can’t check the exact size. But the partition was pretty small, somewhere around 5GB from memory. So should leave plenty of space. You can also install this to more than 1 of the drives for redundancy.
They're just way too expensive for what they are. You can build something that's MUCH faster for ~40% less price and you'll want to run TrueNAS on both anyway. Not worth it.
No, the RAID options are currently more limited on UGOS, though UGreen are adding more and I believe addressing the lack of migration between RAID levels. But as for adding a SHR/TRAID equivalent, I have to expect this is going to take some time as its a more significant under taking. And this is a really great feature that adds a lot of value to many users.
I want to hope it is a temporary situation, but did not see any update on why this isn’t currently available, or when it will be fixed. I agree that this is a priority.
Yes, and that’s true of most of these platforms as they use desktop/mobile cpus. Though the chance of data corruption is very slight, it’s possible. So if it’s a concern to you then you might have to buy a different class of hardware. Standard DDR5 does provide single bit memory correction, but it’s not as robust as ECC memory. It’s a great point to call out though, thank you 👍
Probably depends what you are looking for. But lots of IO on the M.2 and USB connectivity and the NVMe can be configured as cache for the disks so you can easily get to high read and write speeds. And solid compute for virtual hardware, with again faster storage for VMs etc. So if you are running VMs or containers that benefit from fast IO, you want networking to support that. And creators, graphic artists etc love this kind of thing because you can have cheap mass storage in the disk bays, and super fast storage for video or image editing on the NVMe drives. But if you are just looking to play media and use storage for movies and files at home, 1Gbps might meet your needs. But you can be sure that if it came with 1Gbps interfaces, people would complain it isn't fast enough to make use of the NVMe's and the USB 3.2 interfaces, which are also 10Gbps. The Pro version is cheaper, and the base version even cheaper and they come with 2.5Gbps interfaces.
Their Firewall need improvement with geo location block
Awsome! waiting for the max line :) (sold out f6 series)

great set up. Could you share, how to install TOS on NVME guide?
and how long did it take to create storage pool with 18 TB HDD ?
I can live without ECC, but this OS is dead without scrubbing. Data integrity is everything.
They're just way too expensive for what they are. You can build something that's MUCH faster for ~40% less price and you'll want to run TrueNAS on both anyway. Not worth it.
Maybe, but not everyone has the time or skill to build their own?
Can the UGreen system utilise drives of different capacities like the Synaloguy’s Hybrid system or Teramaster’s TRIAID pool?

@@sometechguy esp if you add 3 12 TB drives and then 8 months later you get a 16TB on offer…..
No data scrubbing; no sale! Data scrubbing is just that important!

Does not support ECC memory.

2 x 10 gb nics in this ? why bother?
