Nice video. I also have the 4800 plus and downloaded Truenas when I received the NAS (Juneish). It’s worked great for me. Only problem I’ve ran into is that CPU temps are way too high for my liking. I contacted their support and they say it’s because “their software makes sure the CPU stays cool”…. I heard people adjusting the fans in the BIOS but any advice on this?
This is the video that I’ve been waiting for. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
i'm about to buy a 4 bay nas in the black friday if i found something interesting, so yes being able to install another OS is super important just in case, i'm not planing to install trunas at first, but if not satisfy i'm going to truenas that i already know
thx for the video
I have never seen anyone have to port forward to get Pi-Hole working unless it's a dd-wrt thing? Updating the IP your router uses for DNS will achieve the same thing.
Great video! Gutted we can't get them in the UK. I'm looking for a smaller NAS just for my media.
What is PiHole used for ?
Pretty good solution hmmm 🤔
You can try and use ventoy also so there’s less reformat of the usb and you can even multiboot among isos you copy off the usb
Sadly the ugreen nas is only availible in usa so will have to wait and see if my brother in usa can buy it for me and mail it to me/bring it with him next time he comes to visit;
I was in the kickstarter for this and backed out…I regret life now…
Thank you for this video, even though I'm running TrueNAS on different hardware to the UGREEN, the tutorials of the network bridging etc was really helpful.
I tried getting into NAS before. Had really bad experiences with it. Every single one I bought had a Linux OS that wouldn't do file permissions correctly and if that wasn't enough every single one died on me due to faulty drives. Instead of NAS I now have a windows 7 machine with a 3770K on a Z77 Sabertooth with 6 drives on it and it has been running flawlessly as a media server for over 3 years with drives that have power on hours of over 7 years.
Thanks for posting this video
I've been running Core on my DXP6800 Pro since day 1 off the Kickstarter. Even put 96GB of RAM into it. Not a single problem.
I looked for these on Amazon in Canada and they don't sell them. And buying them from Eugene Direct pushes that 500 units to 800 Canadian Dollars. so I'll have wait for it to drop down to around 600 CND Can I run Open Media Vault instead ?
