NASync DXP2800: specifications and dated store comparison →Two-bay Intel NAS for containers and media on 2.5GbE

ChooseCompute has not tested this NAS. The buying judgment below combines exact-model manufacturer documentation with independently reviewed original tests; each result retains its configuration and software date. See the review evidence ↓
Two HDD bays, RAID 1 and standard file protocols cover a small household; retain a separate backup.[1][2]
Docker is supported and the official Plex guide supports Intel hardware transcoding with graphics access and Plex Pass.[2][3]
The N100 and 16GB official RAM ceiling constrain larger or concurrent VMs.[1][2]
Only two SATA bays and no 10GbE or PCIe expansion.[1]
Follow any specification for its full conditions and sources.
Living with it
DXP2800 combines Intel N100, expandable 8GB DDR5, two NVMe slots and 2.5GbE in a small two-bay system. It is a useful step up for Docker and compatible Quick Sync media workloads. The official 16GB RAM limit and two SATA bays constrain larger virtual machines and future RAID expansion.[1]
PCMasters measured a large RAID 1 file at 166 MB/s write and 150 MB/s read. ComputerBase found intermittent write slowdowns on UGOS 1.0.0.0940 in 2024; a current-firmware retest has not established whether that issue persists.[6]
PCMasters ran a Windows 10 VM, but Lightroom RAW previews and zooming from the NAS stuttered compared with the MacBook internal SSD. That supports archive and backup use more clearly than active photo editing over this connection.[5]
Our buying advice combines official specifications with the original reviews below. We have not tested this product ourselves. Expand a review for its setup, measurements and limitations.

The reviewer found daily file serving and Plex streaming effective, with hardware transcoding available through the paid Plex path.

Repeated writes varied substantially; hardware substitutions did not remove the issue during testing. Observed transfer range: Just over 80MB/s to about 250MB/s. NAS Performance Tester runs depended on whether slow transfers occurred; even the RAID 1 SSD volume could be affected.

Tested: UGOS 1.0.0.0940; two 20TB IronWolf Pro HDDs in RAID 1; two 480GB IronWolf 510 SSDs in RAID 1 or read/write cache; 2.5GbE. Full three pages and own-model chart rows inspected.
Applies to: Exact DXP2800; early-firmware performance variability, not a claim that current firmware has the same defect.

In April 2024 Heinzman found excellent hardware but no third-party Docker/Plex yet; UGREEN told him Docker was planned for May 2024.

Tested: DXP2800 review unit in April 2024, before UGREEN enabled Docker in App Center.
Applies to: Exact DXP2800 hardware. Software comments are dated April 2024 and do not override the 2026 official Docker table.
