<br><div><p class=”wp–block–paragraph“>I reviewed the <strong><a href=”https://mightygadget.com/ugreen–nasync–dh4300–plus–review/”>Ugreen NASync DH4300 Plusa>strong> at the start of the month and came away surprisingly impressed with it, so much so, I have continued to use it, primarily as a backup for photos and backing up cloud drives such as OneDrive and Google Drive.p><p class=”wp–block–paragraph“>Ugreen has already announced that they are launching a two–bay version of this called the NASync DH2300, but it will be officially launched on the 25<sup>thsup> of October.p><p class=”wp–block–paragraph“>There isn’t much to write about this launch; it is very similar to the NASync DH4300 Plus, but with two bays and a 1GbE LAN port instead of 2.5GbE, and obviously at a lower price point. Perhaps the biggest difference is the lack of Docker support.p><p class=”wp–block–paragraph“>It will likely be one of the best budget options for anyone looking for a NAS, arguably better than the <strong><a href=”https://mightygadget.com/terramaster–f2–212–nas–review/”>TerraMaster F2–212a>strong>.p><p class=”wp–block–paragraph“>While I think the TerraMaster F2–212 is excellent, it has an RRP of £230 and is currently available on Amazon for £172.49.p><p class=”wp–block–paragraph“>The DH2300 will be available at €209.99 in the EU and £169.99 in the UK, and that’s before discounts. At the time of writing, Ugreen had already knocked 10% off, with it listed at a bargain price of £152.99.p><h2 class=”wp–block–heading“><strong>NAS Comparison: Ugreen DH2300 vs TerraMaster

with its 8–core processor and 4GB RAM, making it better suited for multitasking and transcoding. The TerraMaster F2–212 is a more basic, power–efficient option that’s adequate for simple file serving but will struggle with anything beyond that due to its anaemic 1GB RAM and slower quad–core processor.p><p class=”wp–block–paragraph“>Considering the Ugreen undercuts Terramaster with the price, this is the option I’d recommend if you want a basic NAS focusing on file storage/backup. The Terramaster has the edge over flexibility due to the Docker support, but I hope Ugreen enables this in the future.p><div class=”sabox–authors“><div class=”saboxplugin–wrap” itemtype=”http://schema.org/Person” itemscope=”” itemprop=”author“><div class=”saboxplugin–tab saboxplugin–tab–about“><div class=”saboxplugin–gravatar“><a href=”https://mightygadget.com/author/jpsmythe_mightygadget_com/”><img data–lazyloaded=”1” src=”http://mightygadget.com/wp–content/uploads/2026/03/98e821b604a5ab9c5d89928902785bc3f6eb3bd6550d340f8d776eb2308a054f.jpg.webp” width=”100” height=”100” alt=”” itemprop=”image“/>a>div><div class=”saboxplugin–desc“><div itemprop=”description“><p>I am James, a UK–based tech enthusiast and the Editor and Owner of <a href=”https://mightygadget.com/”>Mighty Gadgeta>, which I’ve proudly run since 2007.
