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'm absolutely happy with this little NAS! It's so powerful for this price! It's actually more powerful than what Synology offers in their $700 model! I've loved it so much I even bought another one as a gift for my friend, and he's very happy with it too. I've bought 5 Gbit USB-to-ethernet adapter from UGREEN and connected it to this NAS and connected ethernet cable to that adapter instead of the native port in the NAS, and I've got 5 gbit/s speeds now. I can copy files to my NVME SSD in this NAS with the speed of 500+ Mbytes/s. Since my router doesn't support high speeds I got TrendNet 10Gbit switch (4 x 2.5G RJ-45 Base-T Ports, 2 x 10G RJ-45 Ports, model TEG-S762) and connected the NAS and my main PC to that switch, so that they can interact with each other through the switch and not through the slow router.Software-wise, there are not many apps that can be installed with 1-click yet, but there's a Docker app, you install it, and then you can install basically any docker container app among thousands of available containers. To install apps I ask Grok AI for the correct "docker run" command (it installs and starts a docker container) and I was able to install what I needed this way. The UI natively allows adding users to the NAS and also get remote access, so you can access the NAS remotely outside your local network very easily. qBittorrent is supported natively (i.e. can be installed and run basically with 1 click), so I download torrents on my NAS instead of keeping the PC running and downloading at night when I need to download some large torrent with not many seeds. And then the downloaded torrents are of course available on the NAS to my whole home network. I share storage on the NAS via SMB (Samba) protocol, and the shared storage is easily and reliably available to all my PCs in my home network. High transfer speeds on these shares too. And the shares are always available without any issues (I used to have constant issues with shares being unavailable when I was attaching an external drive to my routers, but there are no such issues with this NAS. I guess perhaps because it supports all the latest SMB protocol versions and supports them well).You can also connect and share external drives via USB.0 issues so far. Again, absolutely happy with it.

**Update to fan running: After inspecting the Task Manager within the UGreen app, I see that the fan is being triggered by the security app (which I had set to run in the morning). I changed it to run once a week. No fans come on now after boot up. Problem solved.**I bought this NAS recently as an upgrade to my 12-year old QNAP TS-469 Pro and I couldn't be happier. This UGreen NAS unit is really well thought out. I'm using (2) Crucial Nvme M.2 drives as well as (2) SanDisk 2.5" SSDs that I pulled/re-purposed from the QNAP NAS. Post-purchase I upgraded the memory to 16GB (OWC sells compatible memory for it).The UGreen NAS apps (for macOS and iOS) are superbly designed and built. The UI for both are easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. I did need a little drive setup help from a tech friend who showed me how to assign Volumes in the RAID area. I also had to make sure my Spectrum router "reserved" the IP address for it (giving it a static IP address) within the Spectrum app's settings.I am noticing one tiny little bug with the fans. When I boot the NAS in the morning, the fans come on after a 1/2 hour or so -- speeding up and slowing down gradually. When I go to the UGREEN NAS app and reboot it, the fans go quiet. Probably something UGreen needs to tweak in the next firmware release. Very minor in the grand scheme of things.One super cool thing about the UGreen NAS is its startup or reboot time: 1 minute. That's amazing.I highly recommend this drive or the 4-bay model.

i have a spetacualr 4800 plus as main NAS and this for mirror in my office via internet, and I’m thrilled with the UGREEN 4800 NAS! It’s sleek, minimalist, and blends perfectly into my office setup. While it doesn’t support mucho RAM upgrades like the Plus version, it’s been flawless as a mirrored backup unit paired with my primary 4800 Plus. The software is surprisingly robust—Tailscale integration via docker ensures secure, encrypted remote access, and backups run seamlessly without hiccups. I skipped adding SSD cache, but performance is still snappy for everyday file transfers and media streaming. My only hiccup was a corrupted sync app in my main 4800 plus NAS after a power outage (always use a UPS!), but UGREEN’s support team is already fixing it. If you need a reliable, no-fuss NAS for backups or light office use, this is it. Synology can’t compete with this value, they are obsolete— this is highly recommended!
