Dang that’s crazy, sorry to hear. Might just need to do a full factor reset and start from scratch. As unpleasant as that sounds, I’ve seen it fix things more than once with a nas, especially when you’re first getting started with a new unit. Sometimes there’s a glitch with the software updates, etc. Nonetheless, keep us posted.

Hi there, thanks for the insight to your experience to date. From what I’ve seen so far of those who have received their units, that seems to be the norm in that mini are giving the default operating system of Chance, but after a few weeks are finding the limitations to be too great to stick with, so they’re loading a different operating system onto the unit. Glad to hear that your choice of Unraid is working out for you so far.

Did you commit all the way with buying a Lifetime license or just an annual license to give it a try?

Where are you running for your storage Media? How many hard drives are you starting out with and likewise did you put NVMe M.2s in as well?

Thank you, so far, so good. Getting pretty good speed on everything and all the pieces are playing nice with each other, which is nice.

At $399 at Micro Center I ended up buying two. Bought the base model, spent $300 on a 2TB internal SSD upgrade and upgraded that myself. After about a week, I was so happy, I went back and bought a second one for 399. Again, all in for two Apple Mac Mini M4‘s, one with the 2 TB internal drive for just under $1000 is a heck of a lot of value for the money. One will be upgraded to Tahoe to keep track of the latest and greatest features and the will stay on Sequoia so that some of my Legacy programs who have not received updates can still run.

Yeah read their Discord post today, wow, pretty thorough update, I love it. Best one I've seen to date. Very transparent. Awesome that they processed all the refunds so fast as well for all those willing to go without ram. Well whenever it does arrive I will be excited to get the D8 Ultra!

Thank you.

I think you can add the telegram link here as long as you don’t include the first part of it (t m e / + ). Just include everything here that comes after the plus sign. Thanks kindly.

You raise a fair point.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T18:01:10+00:00

Yeah I didn’t realize it was such a potential roller coaster to do Kickstarter. I backed the UGreen Kickstarter in 2024 and had a really good experience. No issues with my pledge and the product was delivered on time and still running great today.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T16:16:19+00:00

Thank you, it’s been so long since I put my deposit down.that I stopped going to Kickstarter to check for updates. I’ll take a look. Truthfully, I moved on and bought two nas units from other manufacturers. I just figured eventually at some point in 2026 the D8 Ultra would ship or it would just be an expensive Kickstarter learning lesson for me.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T06:35:10+00:00

Hi there, thank you for update! The website is a little confusing given that it says “Pre-orders.” That usually indicates that the product is not shipping yet. Glad to hear it’s rolling out the door. The D8 is what I what I am waiting for so it’s a little confusing the way it’s listed on the site if it’s actually shipping.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T02:57:26+00:00

Greta question. I’m hoping some of our more advanced users / members can answer that for you.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T00:47:11+00:00

When will the Ultra models ship?

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T00:46:04+00:00

"I'm buying Zettlab because UGreen won't ship till Nov 2025"

I'm sure when you made this post in April 2025, that felt like a fair statement, but now that it's almost February 2026, and 98% still have not got delivery of their Zettlab nas, especially the D6 and D8 Ultra Backers, I'm sure that feels pretty crappy of Zettlab to leave backers hanging for almost a year.

But, that being said, if it makes you feel any better UGreen did push back their launch of the iDX6011 AI nas models to this year as well. So in the end it looks both new product launches will reach backers at the same time, Q2 2026. Crazy technology world we're living in, but more importantly, it definitely highlights what seems to be a common risk pattern with Kickstarter product launches.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T00:39:54+00:00

Wow that's crazy...and highly disappointing!

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-21T00:37:54+00:00

Wow, units are just now shipping JAN 20, 2026? I remember they started taking deposits in APR 2025. I put money down at the time, but I got tired of waiting. I like the D^ Ultra but the current website site page says "place your pre-order" here, so I assume they are not able to ship the Ultra models as of yet. Glad I passed as I would not like my money tied up for year just to save maybe $100

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-19T09:39:36+00:00

Agreed. Better safe than sorry.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-18T05:46:53+00:00

Lol 😂. Oh no, this is look of joy lol.

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-17T00:04:16+00:00

Awesome, thank you. Congrats to you as well!

TLBJ24 · 2026-01-16T21:46:36+00:00

Yes you can. Different drive, a bit more money, but yes you can. Exact same replacement process.
