Works as expected

Works seamlessly to plug in old drives and keep moving forward.


Great design with better cooling than the standard. Linux build with custom NVIDIA kernel that supports OpenWebUI / Ollama for LLM inference. Runs ComfyUI well. Extremely customizable and works well for varied inference loads with much better / larger LLMs with its ~120GB available LPDDR5 VRAMthan would run on a standard RTX GPU w/ 16 - 32GB GDDR7 VRAM. I would buy another for the right price (less than $3500)

much quicker nas than my ds223 have the option to have a warm spare quiet

I decided to replace my old Synology DS414 with the DS425. It was still working very well, but after 12 years of service, I decided to replace it. I appreciated Synology's updates and exceptional stability. That's why I have no concerns about the DS425. Thank you to this company and its very reliable products.

-Supports mirrored raid. -Lot of applets to sync with cloud storage. -Web UI is easy to use. -Set it and forget it. Mostly. -Supports multiple users. -Has a fan to keep drives within safe operating temps.

Works as advertised, latest version of software allows for other drives to be used instead of Synology drives, Ironwolf works great.

Excellent solid hardware (2.5GB LAN, M.2 Storage for cashing, I/O Ports) at a great price. Installation of hardware (drives, etc.) done well. UGREEN NAS app make it simple and quick to get the unit up and running.

Works superbly. Easy to setup. Very good management software. Lots of other users (e.g. on Reddit). Bought empty, and populated with four (4) 6TB drives (WD6001F4PZ-49CWHM0). More storage than I'll need for a decade.

easy to install extras screw and SATA cables were included. Easy to see LED lights that indicate drive activity. easy to read documentation

Loaded up VMware ESXi 8.x ISO via Remote KVM IPMI and installed without an issue for an Asrock AMD R9 5900X build.

Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU

I was impressed with how the unit was packaged, the included accessories and the unit's design. UGREEN'S attention to details is top notch. I easily installed both of my drives on the unit's HDD rails, slid them in and booted up. I opted for a local configuration only (no UGREEN ID or web access) over LAN. UGOS is minimal but effective: configuration, diagnostics, basic apps, user management, etc. I also installed the UGREEN NAS app on my iPhone, which also works good.

This thing is truly amazing. Can run models up to 200 billion parameters. (Most of mine are between 70-120b, but my 24b "devstral" model is very useful for simple coding.) For a "personal AI" it's perfect. I use it to assist with sensitive client matters that I do not want to "share" with public AI services. Yes, it is brittle, but it is not hard to perform factory-restore using Nvidia's image - they have clear instructions posted and AI can help you if you need it. Be sure to use Nvidia's tool to create the boot thumb-drive. The unique hardware and driver situation makes this computer incompatible with other distros or OSes.


Package was shipped quickly and arrived without delays

Synology NAS arrived early and was easy to set up. Operating without faults!!
