A surprisingly capable, affordable 2-bay from a newcomer — strong hardware, with software that’s still maturing.
Best for: Value-hunters. Price: ~£290 (diskless, 2-bay).
UGREEN barged into the NAS market with hardware that embarrasses the incumbents on price. The DXP2800 gives you fast networking and NVMe slots for the money of a basic Synology.
Raw value. As a home backup target it does the job and then some.
The software is younger and less proven, and the long-term support story is still being written. For many that’s a fair trade for the price; for a business-critical backup, the older names are safer.
Value-focused buyers who want great hardware and can live with newer software.
Anyone who wants the safest, most-proven, most-supported platform.
