I Didn’t Need a NAS… Until I Did

Описание: Setting up a NAS doesn’t have to be complicated - or locked behind monthly subscription fees.

In this video, I walk through the UGREEN NAS DH4300 from start to finish, including unboxing, drive installation, setup, software, and real-world use. I focus heavily on the user experience, because with a NAS, the software matters just as much as the hardware.

By the end of this video, you’ll know:

-How easy (or not) this NAS is to set up
-What the desktop and mobile apps are like to actually use
-How file access and network drive mapping works on Windows
-What it’s good at — and where the limits are
-Whether it’s worth buying, or if you should skip it
-This isn’t a spec-sheet read-through. It’s a real walkthrough based on daily use.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR VIDEO EDITORS

While this NAS works great for storage, backups, media access, and general file management, editing 4K footage directly from network storage can be limited by read/write speeds.

For best results:

-Keep active editing projects on fast local storage
-Use the NAS as a reliable place to store, back up, and manage your media
-That’s normal behavior for network storage — and something to plan for.
