Black Friday has become the annual benchmark for technology deals, and UGREEN’s 2025 offerings span their core product lines with discounts ranging from 20% to 38% off retail prices. I’ve spent considerable time with UGREEN’s ecosystem, particularly their NAS units, and the pricing during this sale period makes some of their products genuinely worth considering for specific use cases.
UGREEN NASync DH2300 2-Bay NAS
The entry-level DH2300 sees its price drop from £169.99 to £135.99 during the Black Friday period, representing a 20% discount. This 2-bay unit targets users making their first move from cloud storage subscriptions to local control.
Key specifications:
- 2 drive bays supporting up to 20TB per drive
- Intel Celeron N4505 dual-core processor
- 2GB DDR4 RAM (upgradeable to 8GB)
- Dual 1GbE network ports
- USB 3.2 ports for external storage expansion
- UGOS operating system with Docker support
- Hardware transcoding support for Plex/Jellyfin
At £135.99, the DH2300 sits in an interesting position. It’s £34 cheaper than its regular price, which brings it closer to basic 2-bay units from competitors like TerraMaster. The processor handles basic file serving and light Docker containers adequately, though I found it struggles with multiple simultaneous 4K transcodes during my testing. For straightforward file storage and Time Machine backups, it performs exactly as expected.
The UGOS interface remains straightforward compared to Synology’s DSM or QNAP’s QTS, which works in its favour for beginners but limits advanced functionality. Docker support opens possibilities for self-hosting services, though the 2GB base RAM becomes restrictive quickly when running multiple containers.
