Ugreen NASync IDX6011 Pro NAS review

I've worked with many NAS systems over the years.

I have far more storage than I know what to do with at this point across the companies I work with outside my journalistic work.

I've got well over a dozen active NAS systems set up, running different areas at any given time.

One branch of what I do is overseeing a photo, video, graphics, and media team.

Right now, that is three people, and they have a data warehouse of sorts for their content library that I believe is around 68 TB.

The majority of it is stored in Google Drive.

When they are editing the files, they obviously cannot pull from Google Drive.

I have been trying to come up with a solution for a while: how I can sync down enough so they have what they need at their fingertips, without downloading 68 TB of storage onto hard drives that could fail.

With storage prices rising, I didn't want to buy SSDs or redundancies.

That's when I saw this NAS announced.

I was absolutely floored and unbelievably excited, especially because another growing issue was that we knew we had duplicate files.

We just didn't have the time or patience to go through and manage it all.

I've had this NAS up and running for 164 days at the time of writing this.

Yes, that's a long time, but I also wanted to make sure it was as stable as I thought before I put my stamp of approval on it.
