Another kickstarter NAS project: UGREEN NAS might become a nice competitor for Synology and QNAP

Just stumbled accross this:
preheat – UGREEN NAS

Looks interesting, of course the quality of their software is the "not yet known" factor for success, the hardware looks promising.

@Patrick Any chance of getting a review of one of those boxes soon?

1. Kickstarter funded vaporware. Strike 1.
2. Can't tell if it is HW or SW RAID, but at those price points it's likely not HW RAID. in either case it means it's not using ZFS. Strike 2.
3. Remote access. Strike 3.

Your probaly right, so I will stick to my Synology which offers hardware raid on top of ZFS and is completely not remote accessible

I saw some reviews of the Ugreen 4 bay on the internet and was intrigued. I have a DS920+ that I like, but I wish it had 10gbe - otherwise it serves the purpose it was designed to perform. I decided to pay my $5 to be part of the initial discounted bunch of users (EXTORTION I SAY, EXTORTION). I have never crowded funded anything. I was ignorant - I assumed that CF had already started and all I was signing up for was the ability to purchase at a discounted price. I just now paid for the right to get a unit sometime in June 2024! So my only hope is that Ugreen isn't going to pull out and steal my money. I learned something today.

Someone stated here on this forum rather than do the CF route they would wait for prices to go down on their own. I sort of agree with this philosophy - cause you know prices will come down due to compeition. Hoping Ugreen ships a refined product with better SW support.

Just my .02cents

I got email stating they raised 1.5 million dollars in 2 hours - 3055 backers. I can see delays in the future. Might as well sit on the $$$ and not spend it too early.
