Last week review 04-2026
Weekly review 04-2026 and this week it was quite sunny and above all very mild 😉
This week was once again the UGreen NAS, especially the DXP4800, topic, because it comes as a 4 Bay NAS already with a 10GBit interface. This has a rarity value in this price category. In addition, of course, you still have the option of the additional 2.5 GBit connection.
During my attempts, I was concerned with finding out whether the built-in hard drives are not the eye of the needle when using the 10GB interface, because a mechanical hard disk realistically manages between 150-200MB/sec. and thus the interface is of course not remotely used. On the contrary, you could also stay with the 2.5 GBit interface. And these values were also confirmed in the first practical attempts with a 10GB network card.
These values have first improved when using the cache memory in the DXP4800 by 1 NVMe drive in such a way that at least one 5 GB adapter could be used. However, I returned the 10GB card. I now use the 5 GBit USB-C adapter both with the MacBook and on the Windows PC.
At Microsoft, the last patch day must have gone a bit wrong. The reason here is complaints that various apps freeze after the update. This should primarily affect Outlook but also other apps and all Windows versions. Now users have to wait for a patch for the patch that hopefully fixes this problem. Sometimes you wonder why a concert like Microsoft is not able to test the patches before they are released.
And where we are already with errors, I can report that at the beginning of the week my Lightroom Classic suddenly reported that the catalog had errors and had to be reopened. Unfortunately, the repair process was interrupted in the middle of it. I just thought, of course, no problem, we’ll take the last catalog out of the backup, because I really have the catalog backed up on a Linux server every time I finish Lightroom. But that’s when the trouble started, because this catalog was also supposedly corrupt. I then went further back and with a catalog from the beginning of January at least the repair process could be completed. Nevertheless, this catalog has errors that my SQLite scripts to change the paths from Windows to Mac use were acknowledged with “malformated image”. The end of the song is that I’m in the process of rebuilding the catalog.
All in all, another very eventful week. I hope you like the articles and look forward to your questions and comments.
