Anyone have any thoughts on the UGREEN NAS?

I've been eyeing a NAS for a while and the UGREEN 6-bay is looking pretty sweet at the 40% off price to replace my aged Drobo.  Anyone have any thoughts? I'd really would want to wait to see what Linus has invested in.

IDK how much I'm sposto say, but Ive been using one. Its a pretty decent basic NAS. I'd say the biggest downside is the supported apps and software. That may get better in the future though.

I saw a video that Docker is supported. If thats true that can do a lot for me as a SWE.

Kinda a pain though to do so as it doesn't show the bios menus from all my trying if it can boot from a drive. Only way I found to get into the bios/boot from usb was to remove the internal boot drive.
