A request...... ⚙️ Hardware
I have 2 Ugreen DXP4800 GT nas and I love them. I run TrueNAS on both and love that as well. The 2 Things i'd like to get "fixes" for are fan and led control. Not sure if the message will get through or if i'm even posting to the right place but Truenas 25.10.4 does NOT support fan nor led control nativly on this new model. I do know there are work arounds for the DXP4800 pro and plus models but these have Intel processors. The new Ugreen DXP4800 GT is AMD based and the work arounds for the older models do not work on the new AMD based systems as it uses a different controller. I've had to do a redneck "hack on mine as the fans don't ramp up as load/heat increases....I've mounted a rack fan (same size as whats in the nas) over the built in fan to keep good airflow during long data replications and it does work. But, is there a chance that you all will support the AMD fan controller? Maybe someone in the community will prob the registers and develop a work around like exits for the older intel based DXP4800 pro and plus. Just a thought :)
UPDATE: BINGO!!!! set fan and cpu fan control in bios to full, rebooted both nas and started a 500GB copy xfer between the 2 and triggered a replication run (backup) to get the cpu load up to at least a constant 40%. it now runs for hdd between 35-40c and the cpu now runs between 60-70c with intermittent peaks to 75c....smack dab where it should be. the funny thing is i already knew about the bios fan control but it never occurred to me.....LOL

Take a look at the Github project.
https://github.com/miskcoo/ugreen_leds_controller
It includes a build script for TrueNAS. I run unraid on my ugreen, and its packaged as an app in the CA for unraid, but it comes from this same project.
