NASync DH2300

Just know that the mobo/CPU combo is OLD. Nothing wrong with old, but it won't have the latest tech in terms of jellyfin encoding. It will have slower ports like USB 2.0 and slower sata and maybe not even NVME. It will also pull down MUCH more power than a newer device. You can get a N100/N150 mini

System is pretty good as far as accessing movie files remotely. If you’re using it as a file server and just playing the movie with no transcoding pretty much any NAS will work. I read people attaching a storage device to their router and that works too for this purpose. But if you want hardware tra

Damn that’s big. So yeah, I tried to ask the rest of the community with Reddit and discord for some feedback, but you are right, I could’ve made a post telling that I was going to CES to get even more feedback. That was a mistake. If I get invited next year (or any of the community representatives),

My first foray into NAS and media servers so went the cheap(ish) plug and play route with a Ugreen DH2300 and 2x4TB drives I had inherited. Docker isn’t natively supported on this model so had to mess around with it to get it to work. It’s working fine for what I’m using it for at the moment but I’m

I went from a DS213 to the dh2300. So a similarish situation as you’re currently in. I can pretty much do anything I could need: photo backups (local AI identification and facial recognition etc.) (also an option to easily remove all duplicate photos (and files). — unlike the dxp models, you cannot

I currently use Jellyfin on my dh2300, it handles it perfectly, even with tailscale for remote use. I warn you that you'll need to install the docker app manually, as it's not available in ugreen store for the dh2300.

Select the DH4300 Plus from the ugreen website, download the Docker app, load it onto your DH2300, and you're done. It works perfectly. https://nas.ugreen.com/pages/downloads

I agree with this advice in general. Ugreen launched its first lineup very successfully because it had a superior CPU and memory to what was already out there, especially Synology. That's the 2800, 4800, 4800+, etc. They followed up with a less expensive but less powerful lineup including this DH230

I have the DH2300, I use it to watch stuff, .mkv, .mp4, anything really. Encoded as h.265 or h.264, it doesnt matter, it can handle it. It has a native video player that can play all of these files as well (accessible on pc, phone, laptop, some tv types etc.) So for your use: Series - works perfectl

As someone pointed out, that DH2300 won’t do transcoding which is a must. I have a DXP2800 and it’s been fantastic, but it’s also almost $400 and might be out of your budget. Ugreen does have a pretty good operating system that allows you to run docker containers which makes setting up Jellyfin and
