    Anyone have some older DDR4 sodimm ram they don't need? Just trying to bump up RAM a bit in a small NAS.

    UGREEN NASync

    Oh I missed that. Wow is that an expensive MSRP (though in fairness the i5-1235u is a much better cpu than what most competition uses). $480 is still a lot though.

    UGREEN NASync

    I wish they'd list expected prices. They are asking $5 to reserve a unit but not even telling people what they will cost! What do you guys think they'll charge for the 4-bay NVME system?

    Good bang-for-buck NAS SFF machine or enclosure?

    Looking for a budget solution to mostly act as a NAS. Open to ideas and kicking around how much I'd use this device: Needs: - Currently have around 500gb of data I'd need to backup, so a bit torn if I just want to splurge on SSD or just move towards something like a 4tb 3.5" drive - Want very...
