First NAS + Local AI Setup — Synology vs UGREEN vs Others?

TBH, grab a Minisforum N5 Pro or another equivalent. Then you can run MUCH larger models on the Radeon 890M iGPU than on any consumer GPU. But you'd need a 3rd party OS (unraid or truenas usually) so overall don't expect any personalized support, not from Minis, certainly not from the OS developer.

NAS for someone who already has a VM machine

I do homelabbing and have tons of VMs and containers, but for an NAS I valued brand reputation and "it just works". Went with a Synology DS1522+, of which I'm only using 3 bays right now. Anyhoo -- I'd recommend Synology or UGREEN, the former being the more established but now riskier brand due to r

First NAS + Local AI Setup — Synology vs UGREEN vs Others?

Yeah, it feels like Synology has taking a step back from wanting to be the best nas manufacturer for consumers. Their focus definitely seems to be on software only. Most of their models are quite dated, but with that said, they seem to run a long time. Their naming nomenclature ends with the year th

Brace yourself - Software is definitely not ready for general public!

Going all in, I love it. I have a DS1522+ that I have running two 16TB Synology Drives that I will keep running. UGreen is my primary unit. It's so easy to use and "just works" for my needs. I have about 80TBs on it. I got the Orico because I wanted to get into ZFS without going TruNAS, but I may en

A DESKTOP UNIT WITH EXTERNAL POWER BRICK, WON'T SEE DRIVES?

Kind of reminds me of todays emails. I get many by the way. A DS1522+. Not working. Adapter is new. So from what I have seen with so many of these. And many AMD units. The CPU is fried. YES! All the AMD based units here are less then 4 years old. Almost all with dead CPU's. Something we don't see wi

Not sure which brand to go with...

Check the UGREEN DXP 6800 Pro specs. You might like the hardware a bit better. But the 4800 Plus is a good pick too. The software is getting better, but it can be replaced with other open source software, it's basically a mini PC with drive bays. I still have a DS1522+ for backup, but not happy with
