"Your data lives locally, you pay once for storage instead of renting it forever, and you get complete control over how everything works. The long-term economics make sense, the customization potential is massive, and you avoid the very real problem of your photos being scraped for AI training or handed over to government agencies or sold to data brokers."
"That said, NAS devices have always had a learning curve that scared away casual users. The setup process, RAID configurations, network settings, and maintenance requirements made them feel like enthusiast gear rather than consumer products. UGREEN's new ARM-powered NASync DH2300 and DH4300 are trying to change that equation by targeting the specific use case of automatic photo backup and basic file storage."
"What you get for the budget price is a 2-bay DH2300 that runs on a Rockchip RK3576 processor with 8 cores at 2.2 GHz, paired with 4GB of non-upgradable LPDDR4X RAM and a 32GB system drive. These NASync models have Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI output, USB-C, and two USB 3.2 Type-A ports. The design uses a top-down lidded approach that makes drive installation easier and reduces the footprint."
Local NAS storage preserves privacy, eliminates recurring cloud fees, and gives full control over personal data and customization. Cloud services can cost hundreds yearly and risk data monetization or access by third parties. Traditional NAS units often intimidated casual users due to setup complexity, RAID choices, networking, and maintenance. UGREEN targets casual backup needs with ARM-based NASync DH2300 and DH4300 models focused on automatic photo backup and simple file storage. The DH2300 is a 2-bay unit with a Rockchip RK3576 8-core CPU, 4GB non-upgradable LPDDR4X RAM, a 32GB system drive, multiple ports, and an easier top-down drive installation design.
