UGREEN NASync DXP2800 2-Bay Desktop NAS, Intel N100 Quad-core CPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 2.5GbE, 2 * M.2 NVMe Slots, 4K HDMI, Network Attached Storage (Diskless)

I've wanted something that acts as both a day to day storage and backup for photos and phone data which is why I delved into NAS. After looking at synologys offerings I was disappointed as even the most basic versions were expensive and seemingly quite cheap quality and so I was put off.Then one day I saw Ugreen, a brand I have come to love launched a Kickstarter for a NAS line up. I was annoyed they were only available to Germany and the US but I assumed one day they would do international and now they have. I immediately grabbed the 2800 and a couple 4tb nas drives and have it all setup in RAID 1 and I have to say that there are very few things that I can complain about.Pro's:- Very good build quality, almost entirely made of thick aluminium with no creaks or loose parts.- Great design as it's somewhat futuristic (An item from the Halo universe comes to mind)- I/O offerings are great on the back and front, with USB-A & C 2.0/3.2, HMDI and 2.5gb ethernet.- Software is clean and easy to use providing all the important features for users use cases.- The mobile app feels similar to the desktop version and works just as well- The TV app available from the NASync website is again clean and picked up the NAS instantly providing it's video contents straight away without any hassle and showcases the films very nicely.Cons:- The CPU even under a light workload (around 20-30%) likes to hover around the 72 degree mark which is hotter than I would expect it to be. This however does not affect drive temperatures which stay around 30/35 degrees.- Due to the high CPU temps it's means the exhaust fan will ramp up and down to vent the heat and it does so quite aggressively, something I hope an update will fix one day.- The TV app although works great when setup was a bit tricky when it came to installing onto my google tv chromecast as you have to download and install the apk file. best option is probably to turn on developer settings (to allow 3rd party app installs), download a browser on the Chromecast itself and get the apk saved locally.In conclusion, Ugreen offer something for everyone and what they do offer is very good, I would highly recommend it if you're thinking of investing in a nas yourself.

So much better than I expected. The included UGOS software is excellent, really easy to manage your storage and shares on the network. The added bonus is the ability to use docker which means you can install all sorts of server software like Plex, Jellyfin, Syncthing and Nextcloud - Turning your NAS into a fully fledged home server. Low power, low resources, everything just works great. All managed through the desktop app on your PC and there's also a phone app. Build quality and packaging are also first class, your drives just click into place no screws required.

If you are new to using NAS, this is the one. I've used Terramaster, Asustor and Synology but the Ugreen NAS is far and away the easiest to set up and use. The software is intuitive and seems to be bug free, there are also lots of tutorials on line to help during set up. Yes, you will need to buy hard disks or SSDs for it, but that goes for all NAS enclosures. Installing all the parts is a doddle. I also recommend installing an M.2 NVME to increase speed. The Intel N100 quad core chip has more than coped with every task I've asked of it.The enclosure comes well packaged and padded and as soon as you take it out of the box, you know it's a quality product,I've bought other Ugreen PC accessories in the past and they have all worked flawlessly. After buying and using this NAS, Ugreen will be my "go to" supplier for networking components.

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and it’s been exactly what I was looking for. Setup was straightforward once I figured out the network access (tip: set up your DDNS and WireGuard early). The system is snappy, file sync is reliable across Mac Studio, MacBook, and iPads, and Docker support is a major win.The build quality is solid — clean metal casing, good thermal management, and it runs quietly even with 2 HDDs installed. Web interface is decent, though not quite as polished as Synology DSM — but more flexible in many ways.For anyone wanting a pro-level home or small-office NAS without going full QNAP/Synology, this is a serious contender. Especially for developers or file-heavy workflows.

The hardware is excellent. I am new to NAS and I chose UGreen because of the hardware which is superior to other NAS. I have experienced a strong learning curve with the software but UGreen support has been helpful. I have both a Mac and a PC and setting up on the Mac has been easier. Setting up on Windows 11 Pro 24H2 was more of a problem but that is now resolved. This was due to networking issues. I'm using 2 x 12TB IronWolf Pro disks which can make some noise.

Decided after a lot of toing and froing to purchase this Ugreen Nas. I was worried a little due to some comments regarding the operating system being a little bit underdeveloped. I have been used to Qnap in the past. But i must say the build quality is great and it was really well packaged. Only just setting it up but the operating software seems fine and I would say that a Nas beginner would have no problems with it. It prompts you as you go and explains most of the functions so you can make the right decision during set up. From this early stage i am Impressed. Comes with everything you need including a ethernet cable, screwdriver, screws and power block/cable. It takes two HDD drives and also two Mvme cards (optional) for added storage or cache. Has a HDMI output on the rear as well as all the other outputs. It also has a USB AND TYPE C input on the front. Hopefully you can see all this on the photographs. On the front it also has a power button and the hdd lights which can be switched off completely or for periods of time depending on your situation. The fan on the rear has a magnetic cover which makes it easy to clean. I did notice that most of the reviewers so far on here seem to be vine testers. I purchased mine and am very pleased with it. Just buy your 2 HDD'S and away you go. It also comes with a 2 year warranty.
