Before you choose
Check the whole setup.
- Check UGREEN’s current drive compatibility list, capacity limits and selected diskless configuration before choosing HDDs or NVMe drives.
- Match the 2.5GbE NAS port to the switch, client NICs and cables. Actual transfer speed depends on disks, workload and the complete network path.
- Choose a storage layout and a separate backup with a restore plan. RAID redundancy does not replace an independent backup.
- Check current UGOS app support, updates and remote-access controls. Size Docker, VM and media workloads to the N100 and installed memory; no local performance test is claimed.
Plan the role
Fit it to the system.
Connect the NAS by Ethernet to the network switch so compatible clients can reach shared files. Keep an independent backup of important data. For creators, size capacity and transfer needs around the actual projects; for remote work, configure and verify access controls before relying on remote access.
