5.9/10verdict: good, not the best

The DXP2800 is for home users and small setups that want a quiet two-bay NAS with 2.5GbE and two NVMe slots. It suits people happy to put up with a young operating system and thin documentation. It is a weaker fit for anyone who wants a mature app ecosystem or plans to run several virtual machines.
