apalrds adventures | A NEW PLAYER enters the NAS Market: Hardware Teardown and More @apalrdsadventures | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
Today I'm tearing down the UGreen DXP4800 Plus, as UGreen tries to enter the NAS market. Will the hardware and software be enough to compete with established players? Stay tuned to find out.

3/28-5/9: Up to 35% OFF during 3/28-5/9
I do a deep-dive into the hardware, build quality, overview of the included software, and go through the process of installing my own software on the unit. It's very easy to work on, with very easy access to the RAM and M.2 SSDs, and only slightly harder to access the boot M.2 if you want to replace the OS. Speaking of the OS, it's Debian-based, and I was able to install my own Debian system without too much trouble. This means that Proxmox VE and TrueNAS SCALE are very likely to work just as easily, as they are also both Debian based.
