I’ve tested a lot of NAS servers over the past few years, and while I prefer using the powerful 8-bay DiskStation DS1823xs+ as my main server, I’m increasingly switching to UGREEN’s products in this category. There’s a good reason for this, as the brand is consistently offering class-leading NAS servers.<\/p>\n

This is especially true in the budget category; The introduction of the 2-bay DH2300 and 4-bay DH4300 Plus allowed UGREEN to meaningfully compete with almost every other brand in the sub-$400 category. Even after six months of availability, the DH4300 is the best overall NAS you can buy if you’re just starting out, and with servers Now available for $399<\/a>This is the best time to get your hands on it.<\/p>\n

I set up the DH4300 Plus in late 2025, and I liked that Ugreen came up with a vertical design; This makes the NAS look a little different, and it is more convenient to install the HDD. The build quality is quite good, and you get good ventilation \u2013 the vertical design makes it a bit more effective than a traditional NAS server. I like the looks of the DH4300 Plus, and I haven’t had any issues with the NAS in the six months I’ve been using it. I like that there’s NFC on the NAS that lets you download mobile apps, and it makes it very easy to set up.<\/p>\n

The internals are equally attractive, the DH4300 Plus comes with an Arm-based platform with Cortex A76 and A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. It has 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, which looks nice, and while it’s soldered on, it’s no big deal \u2013 the onboard memory is more than enough to handle anything you throw at it.<\/p>\n
