Ugreen to Challenge Synology with Affordable Series of NAS Hardware
Thus far, Synology has been the primary choice for Network Attached Storage. But now, electronic device and accessory company Ugreen aims to change that, and users are showing their excitement through Kickstarter, pledging more than $2.3 million so far.
Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a type of storage that provides access to files over a computer network instead of plugging directly into a specific computer. It’s like a personal cloud storage option, though with no monthly fees, and users need physical NAS drives somewhere. NAS is ideal for individuals who need to access their files from multiple devices and locations or for teams and businesses that rely on collaboration.
Officially announced at CES on January 9, the Ugreen NASync Series is hoping to dethrone Synology as the king of NAS. The Kickstarter for the new line of NAS opened today, and to say it surpassed its goal is an understatement. The Kickstarter goal was only $20,000, and at the time of writing, $2.34 million had been pledged.
It seems that people are very excited about this new series. It doesn’t hurt that users can get 40 percent off each product now. The Kickstarter still has 44 days to go, ending on May 9, so seeing how high that pledge amount goes will be interesting.
