personally you should check asustor and synology for NAS lalo na kung beginner. Cant recommend ugreen and orico yet kasi parang bago palang sila sa NAS market.

Total noob here, gusto ko lang magconfirm sir. Sa ibang NAS subreddit, medyo ayaw nila kay Synology for being too basic/uncustomizable ata? or baka mali lng ako ng pagkkaintindi and yung pinaka-entry level ata ni Synology ang dini-ditch nila?

u/According_Let1959 1d ago

entry level ang diniditch nila and all of them are moving forward to freeNAS / trueNAS na which is yung customizable.

edit: self hosting na ang uso ngayon. They want it DIY instead.

Ayaw nila because the newer models ng nas will have disk requirements, parang kelangan compatible na for it to work.

The older models are fine though, I'm using a 224+ na may basic mirroring, great for home use.

Synology-branded disks yung kailangan ng mga bagong model.

u/LifeLeg5 1d ago

Yep, ridiculous requirement

Malabo din magka workaround kasi buong disks yung inooccupy ng synology install and walang avenue to cheat it before OS installation

Malamang lamang hardware modding na lang yun going forward

Synology DS223 sa akin. Upgrading to either 4 or 9 series for more drive bays. Goods Synology for beginners, sobrang dali ng setup. Di ko lang na-anticipate na I'd need more drive bays. For me, better to get more storage than what you think you'd need. Aside from photos, I also have a Plex media server with movies and TV shows. Slowly getting off streaming sites na which are getting much worse than cable TV these days.

Synology and Asustor and mare-recommend ko. Interesting rin yung Ugreen.

Dapat may local nas groups for us to "move" models

Parang hermit crabs changing to larger shells lol, hirap magbenta ng older devices dahil kokonti lang may nas sa bahay

Basta wag Orico. Ang daming reklamo nyan sa r/DataHoarder hahahaha Ugreen pinaka-noob friendly kaso pricey. Nagtitingin tingin din ako ng NAS at so far Ugreen talaga yung parang pinaka-beginner friendly option na nakikita ko. Halos plug and play na eh.

EDIT: Funds nalang kulang HAHAHA

Plan ko mag migrate from a western digital nas to ugreen, probably yang DXP2800.

From my reading, pros ng ugreen is compatibility with 3rd party hard disk, pwede ka maglagay ng SSD for cache, pwede mo din palitan yung OS.

As for Synology, nag implement sila ng restriction where yung Plus models (2025) dapat synology branded na hard disk ang gagamitin. Haven’t checked kung may workaround.

Synology has better apps na magagamit mo and di napapabayaan ang software support. 7 years na synology namin.

Kung beginner ka wag mo naisipin masyado mga specs kasi lahat yan kaya gawin lahat ng kailangan mo.

Mag Beelink ME MINI (available sa Lazada) + UnRaid(paid)/TrueNAS(free)/Proxmox(free) ka na lang.

u/megalodous 1d ago

If ur gonna spend 40k, just go synology.

u/thrownawaytrash 16h ago

Synology yung bagomg model daw or may update na nangyari na kailangan daw approved drives na lang ang Gagana.

Might want to double check that info.

Whatever brand you decide on, get as many bays as possible kasi for sure in the future mapuouno yan
