Rank #9 in Best NAS Enclosure 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the TB Maths Doesn't Add Up
UGREEN NASync DXP2800 GT 2-Bay NAS, 10GbE
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The UGREEN NASync DXP2800 GT is number 9 in this guide. It is a 2-bay NAS enclosure at £459.99, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 29 Amazon ratings, built around an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor and a 10GbE LAN port. Those are the parts of the listing a buyer can actually check: the bay count, the processor, the port on the back.
Its listing claims up to 80TB of storage. Across 2 bays that is 40TB per bay, the highest per-bay figure in this guide — the 2-bay Synology entry here is declared at 36TB, or 18TB per bay, and the UGREEN 4-bay model works out at 32TB per bay. The second number worth pausing on is speed: the same 1250 appears in the spec table twice, once as 1250 Megabytes Per Second and once as 1250 Megabits Per Second. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I was replacing my box for unraid os and wanted something that took larger and multiple drives.This fit the bill perfectly without being a massive box. Now I have 2x 10TB hard drives in it, one for array one for parity and 2 x nvme SSDs for the cache. I also attach a usb hdd for weekly cache and array backups. My data is now fully protected and with the added ups (separate purchase) I'm safe if my NAS loses power, it will shut down safely.While it comes with 8GB ram I upgraded to 32GB as I run a lot of docker apps, plex etc and with the 10Gb network interface it does not struggle at all. The only downside compared to my previous box is the CPU, it is slow compared to it so a better CPU would have been nice so I can run CPU intense docker apps however I manage this by just starting/stoping these when I need them. I run 10 docker apps 24/7 and it runs these easy.I also booted into a Chinese screen on first boot, not that it mattered as I was installing my own OS, the bios is in English. This is easily solved with an update and if that's an issue for you, then you are not the type of person that should be buying this box.”
Verified purchase“Best NAS money can buy. Easy to setup and blazing fast as well. Did I also mention it's amazing value for money as well”
