Yes, the device works under Linux. You can set up Linux as a virtual machine (VM) on the UGOS Pro operating system or install Proxmox VE (PVE, Linux-based) directly. It supports file shares such as SMB and NFS, which can be used by Linux clients. The official compatibility list refers mainly to hardware, not explicitly to client operating systems.
The DXP2800 does not have an integrated Wi-Fi module. The DXP480T Plus Ugreen NASync DXP480T Plus (0 TB) has built-in Wi-Fi. You are most likely to have success with a Wi-Fi dongle with an Ugreen AX1800 USB Wi-Fi adapter Ugreen AX1800 Dual-Band Wireless Adapter Wi-Fi 6 (USB) . For me, I have removed Ugreen's own UGOS and installed Linux on it myself. I also use a Wi-Fi adapter on the device.
This product is not ready to use for storage, as it is an empty enclosure with no hard drives included. You will need to purchase and add hard drives separately to its 2 SATA bays in order to use it.
Yes, hard drives from the "Seagate IronWolf" series are a very good fit for this NAS model. They are specially developed for use in NAS systems and offer reliability and performance in multi-user environments. The NAS is compatible with hard drives from manufacturers such as Seagate, Western Digital and Toshiba.
Seagate IronWolf hard drives are a very good recommendation for beginners, as they are optimised for NAS environments. Alternatively, WD Red hard drives, which are also specially designed for NAS systems, are also recommended. Be careful not to use SMR hard drives and not to mix old and new hard drives in the RAID to avoid data loss.
The Seagate EXOS X24 24TB disc drive (ST24000NM000C) is a SATA 3 disc drive and is NAS compatible which supports 3.5-inch SATA discs up to 44 TB per disc. This NAS has two SATA hard drive bays and supports RAID 0, 1, and JBOD configurations, so it can easily accommodate the Seagate EXOS X24 24TB drive. The maximum capacity per disc is more than 24TB, so the disc is also compatible in terms of capacity.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this. In the case of the Ugreen US3000 UPS, I have gladly forwarded the enquiry to our purchasing department. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee success, but if successful, the product will soon be visible in our shop. If the result is negative, it will not.
The pre-installed UGOS is installed on a soldered 32GB eMMC chip. Both NVMe slots are free.
I disabled the eMMC device (and the watchdog!) in the BIOS, and then installed Rocky Linux 9 on the two NVMe SSDs in RAID1.
The UGREEN NASync DXP2800 only supports SATA hard drives (3.5" or 2.5") and is not compatible with SAS hard drives. This has been confirmed by UGREEN as well as mentioned in user reports.
The device is supplied without hard discs. When you order the NAS, the appropriate hard discs are suggested. You can then choose which storage size you want. Installing the discs is very easy. In my opinion, the software of the NAS is also quite simple and also suitable for a layman. If something was not clear to me, AI was able to help me well. Greetings RK
The NASync DXP2800 primarily uses SATA drives for main storage, with M.2 NVMe SSDs typically used as read-write caches to enhance performance. While it is technically possible to use M.2 NVMe SSDs, they are not intended for main storage in this setup. The device is designed to support SATA drives in its two bays for primary data storage.
Yes, you can install Nextcloud via Docker.
To install Nextcloud on a NAS, you need Docker, which you can set up on your NAS. Here are the basic steps:
- Install Docker: Make sure that Docker is installed on your NAS. This can usually be done via the package centre of your NAS.
- Use Docker-Compose: Create a `docker-compose.yml` file in which you define the configuration for Nextcloud and the required database (e.g. MariaDB).
- Set up the database: In the `docker-compose.yml` file, you must specify environment variables for the database such as `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD` and `MYSQL_DATABASE`.
- Start container: Use the command `docker-compose up -d` to start the containers in the background.
- Set up Nextcloud: Once started, you can access the Nextcloud web interface using the IP address of your NAS and the configured port to complete the installation.
These steps are general and may vary slightly depending on your NAS model and operating system. There are many detailed guides online that can help you understand the process specific to your NAS model.
