UGREEN NASync DXP2800 2-Bay NAS with 8 TB (2× Seagate IronWolf 4 TB) Intel N100 2.5GbE

The UGREEN NASync DXP2800 2-Bay NAS with 8 TB (2× Seagate IronWolf 4 TB) and Intel N100 provides a compact, preconfigured network-attached storage solution for home and small office environments. Equipped with two hot-swap drive bays populated by Seagate IronWolf 4 TB drives and an energy-efficient Intel N100 processor, this NAS offers centralised file storage, automated backups, media streaming and remote access via a 2.5GbE network interface for improved LAN throughput.

Advantages

The device combines preinstalled reliable NAS-grade drives with a low-power Intel N100 CPU to deliver stable 24/7 operation and efficient power consumption. A 2.5GbE port enables faster local transfers compared with standard Gigabit Ethernet, and the two-bay design supports RAID configurations for data redundancy or capacity optimisation. Built-in support for common NAS services—file sharing, scheduled backups, and remote access—reduces setup time for users who need ready-to-use storage.

Suitable for

• Home users seeking centralised file storage and media streaming
• Small offices requiring scheduled backups and shared access to documents
• Content creators needing local storage for video and photo projects with faster LAN transfer
• Users who prefer a preconfigured NAS with drives included for immediate deployment

When it may not be suitable

This NAS is designed for light to moderate workloads typical of home and small office use. It may not be suitable for large-scale enterprise environments or intensive multi-user virtualization and heavy concurrent database workloads that demand higher-end processors, more drive bays, or 10GbE networking. Users requiring advanced enterprise features such as large-scale clustering or specialised SAN functionality should consider enterprise-grade solutions.

Key specifications

• Drive bays: 2 hot-swap bays populated with two 4 TB NAS-grade hard drives
• Capacity: 8 TB total raw capacity (2 × 4 TB)
• Processor: Intel N100 energy-efficient CPU
• Network: 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet for higher LAN transfer speeds
• Supported storage modes: single-disk, RAID 1 (mirror) or equivalent redundancy/configuration options
• Use cases: central file storage, automated backups, media streaming, remote access

How to use

Connect the NAS to your local network using the 2.5GbE port and power it on. Access the device management interface through a web browser or the vendor-provided utility to complete initial setup, configure user accounts, shared folders and backup schedules. Choose a storage mode (e.g., mirrored RAID 1 for redundancy) according to your preference for capacity versus data protection. Map shared folders on client computers, enable media services for DLNA or similar streaming, and configure remote access and user permissions if you need off-site connectivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended workload: ensure a 2-bay NAS with Intel N100 meets your performance and concurrency needs
• Network environment: to benefit from 2.5GbE speeds, confirm your switch or router and client devices support faster-than-Gigabit connections or plan for a compatible upgrade
• Data protection: decide whether you prefer mirrored redundancy (RAID 1) or full capacity without redundancy
• Expansion and backups: consider off-site or cloud backup options and how you will expand storage in the future

Usage recommendations

For typical home or small office deployments, configure the NAS in RAID 1 to protect critical data, enable scheduled backups to an external location or cloud service, and connect over a 2.5GbE-capable LAN segment to fully utilise faster transfer speeds. Regularly check drive health and firmware updates via the management interface.
