NAS Reccomandation - Enquiries - 04-25-2025
Hi Nascompares,
First of all, thank you for the amazing work you do—your videos and articles have been indispensable in helping me navigate the NAS landscape. I’ve just watched your YouTube video “UGREEN NAS 1 Year Later – Should You Buy?” and it convinced me the platform could be a strong fit.
I’m a Software Engineer about to buy my very first NAS, and these are my key requirements:
• Adobe Lightroom photo catalog
• Video editing directly on the NAS/storage
• Mac backups (Time Machine)
• Running Docker containers
• Running virtual machines
• Home video streaming
I’d also like straightforward remote access and easy file-sharing so I can finally cancel the various cloud-storage subscriptions I’m still paying for.
Right now I’m considering the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus paired with 2 × Seagate IronWolf drives (8 TB or 10 TB each).
Does that sound like a solid setup for my workload, or would you recommend something different?
Thanks again for all the advice you’ve already shar
