Operating system and software
When you log into the web GUI for the first time, a checklist of recommended functions and settings is displayed.
So let’s just follow it. The very first step is to create a memory pool.
Depending on the combination of hard disks installed, JBOD and RAID1/5/6/10 are available for the pool, alternatively there is also Basic, which is simply a single transparent data carrier.
If required, several volumes / file systems can also be created in a pool; BTRFS and Ext4 are available.
Finally, there is another overview of the selected settings before they are confirmed by entering the password.
The created volume can then be made available via a network share. The assignment of read and write permissions is also defined via the wizard. However, this does not automatically activate a required network service such as SMB, FTP or NFS, more on this below.
At this point I have deviated from the checklist, we will look at the various functions on the following pages.
The Storage Manager provides a simple overview of the installed data carriers with the SMART status and temperature.
If required, additional widgets can also be added, which is very practical.
Other storage pools can also be created; if data carriers have not yet been used, there is a corresponding note on the start page.
UGOS also includes a task manager, which can be opened either via the shortcut on the desktop or by double-clicking on the small preview in the taskbar.
I think the breakdown by service or process name is good and is usually informative enough to understand what is currently happening in the background.
Various system events are listed in the Log Center, and past notifications can also be viewed here.
The options offered in the Control Center are quite straightforward at first glance, but there are several tabs of settings behind the icons.
This time, even the time zone was set correctly without my intervention, but it can also be adjusted here if necessary.
There is also a summary of the various technical details.
In the network settings tab, you can make sure that the NAS is connected at the maximum available speed. Since I “only” have a 2.5GbE switch, the 10GbE port unfortunately cannot develop its full potential.
In order for the shared folder created earlier to be found by our computer, a network service must also be activated. For Windows systems, this is usually SMB.
If you wish, you can also adjust the login page and the corresponding port; by default, 9999 is set for HTTP and 9443 for HTTPS.
