I did order the 4800+. I have no need for the Ugreen OS and will replace it.
Every report I have read about say that the hardware looks very good for the (kickstarter) price

    But if the EFI is locked and you have to use a workaround to boot?

    I'd wait a real review before purchasing a "e-waste bomb"

    The real reason the hardware is locked to their Linux distro is that the moment they discontinue security updates, it immediately becomes e-waste and you have to buy a new one instead of use it until it physically breaks. This approach works great on Apple devices, who have a 5-7 year lifetime from market launch

    If Synology decides to not support your NAS it can't even load anything else. Synology dexided for the DS218j (or DS220j) that it suddenly can't use BTRFS anymore. If I remember it correctly it was due to not having enough memory.
    But that was only after the upgrade to DSM 7.x
    Yet I see only confused posts on the web instead of rage and "I wont bzy Synology anymore".
