on mine the first line says:

DDNS is not enable yet. You can enable it in WAN / DDNS when people need to access FTP via the domain name from WAN.

means access is only within LAN right (which is all i need)?

on the FTP share page:

mine is all OFF.

As long as uPnP and ftp are off, you should be fine.

I am using unraid myself. Don't want to kenna lock by vendors.

Popular NAS brands are Synology, Qnap and Terramaster.

Heard lastest model of Synology NAS only support Synology HD to get full feature support. Synology HD is very costly.

I am choosing one of this 3 brand
For home use backup
Now you said Synology HD is very expensive
I am looking for balance in performance and price and reliable

Which one?

Thanks

You can also check out asustor, some of their entry level models are fairly affordable too

6 months later, still didn't get? lol.

Can go shoppee and look for Ugreen 4800 plus, 4 bay nas. It has its own OS, but you can install any NAS software you like, unraid, truenas ce and pretty good specs.

Ugreen seems to be the NAS to get now. Many long-time Synology users have boycotted Syno for their policy shifts that scream "cash grab". Asustor or Qnap are okay, but Qnap is a bit pricey.

If you have a bit of technical ability, consider building your own with TrueNAS. You're likely to get something much more powerful for not much more money.

What's the recommended cache size for Ugreen NAS or NAS in general? Should I get 2 x 1TB NVME drives? Or should I start with 1 x 2TB NVME first?

How about RAM size recommendations?

4800dxp plus? Best to use 2 M.2, for read/write cache/raid 1 else it's just read cache only with only 1 M.2. Frankly 256GB or even 512GB is more than enough as cache, 1 TB if you have around 70TB or more worth of data (Basically 4x24TB HDD@Raid 5...).

Ram 8GB is fine. Add more if you are running a lot of VMs/containers.

Thanks. Going for 4x12TB HDD@Raid 5. Should be good for the next few years. Rest of the budget need to look out for a good UPS.

Those on Ugreen 4800plus, do you set your file system to BTRFS or EXT4 for Raid 5? BTRFS is set as "recommended" but there are those who said it is unstable and can lead to data loss.

I set it to BTRFS as it support snapshot
