UGREEN NASync DH2300

4.4/10verdict: skip

The UGREEN NASync DH2300 is for people who want a simple, low-power two-bay box for backups, photos and file storage. It suits a first NAS buyer who will use UGREEN's own UGOS Pro apps and doesn't need containers or virtual machines. Homelabbers who want Docker, more memory or faster than 1GbE networking should look at something else.

5.9/10verdict: wait for deal

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.
