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.
