Despite the delay of the release from July 1st (see banner from the “preheat” page a while ago"):
and missing a “rumoured” August 13th date I came across (originating from a Google Ad), I tried asking customer support to see if there’s any news on this front. While it is not advertised anywhere, CS claimed it would be expected to be released on:
- August 20th through their own UGreen Store
- August 31st through Amazon (Amazon.de unconfirmed, “would be looked into”)
It’s very likely the CS told release dates are inaccurate considering no marketing is done for the NASync NASes, it’s still worth mentioning it here. Unknown if the € prices are still accurate for Amazon.de/UGreen’s German store (seem to match the USD/$ ones in number), nor if there’s still any launch discount planned.
I assume you meant TrueNAS here; the last release of FreeNAS was almost four years ago. But these units look well-suited to running TrueNAS–my 6-bay unit is quite happy with it.
From what I’ve seen, it’s definitely one of the more suitable pre-assembled NASes out there for TrueNAS.
I’ve looked at Terramaster’s units before, and while they’re suitable too, they use those small USB sticks in an internal USB port. I trust eMMC or a small SSD present in the UGREEN DXP’s more than the small USBs . Would otherwise take one of the M.2 slots too, which is a shame if you want to run a separate SSD for containers or caching.
Thank you for your expert opinion. I don’t want to assemble hardware myself and that’s why I ended up with Ugreen. I also like the idea of a Chinese company.
While it is kept vague what will happen on the 20th, I’m more confident that the store launch happens on the 20th. A shame they would (probably) keep the Amazon release 11 days behind, however. Would’ve loved to grab it through Amazon instead.
is there already a review of the new hardware? No further information in this thread apart from the launch date. I’ll probably buy the cheapest 2bay model soon. What do others think about the new hardware? Or am I still too early, do I have to be patient?
