UGREEN NAS Power, Performance, and Seamless Data Management
I’m a big fan of Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. Back in 2009, I experienced a major data loss when my WD 1TB MyBook failed, wiping out family photos, projects, and countless documents. Determined not to let that happen again, I explored various options to safeguard my digital files. That’s when I discovered NAS options, which involves a group of hard drives set up in a RAID configuration to store files across multiple drives at the same time. This means that even if one drive fails, your data is still safe.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to test several brands, and initially, Drobo was my NAS of choice. I had the pleasure of meeting the Drobo team and really liked the simple setup of their systems. Unfortunately, StorCentric, the owner of Drobo, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy and as of January 2023, Drobo support and new product availability officially ended. Because Drobo’s hardware and software were tied so closely together, I didn’t like the uncertainty of operating a Drobo in a self-service situation. So, I looked into other options and ended up turning to Synology.
