UGREEN NAS DH2300: A Budget Powerhouse for Retro & Backup? Absolutely.
Bob over at RetroRGB tested the UGREEN NAS DH2300—and he’s impressed. Priced for mortals (under $150), this compact 2-bay NAS isn’t just for basic file storage; it’s a legit tool for retro enthusiasts and everyday PC backup needs.
The standout? It works seamlessly with the MiSTer FPGA platform—letting you stream ROMs directly over your network instead of juggling USB drives. Bob even provides a ready-to-use `cifs_mount.zip` to simplify setup (thank you, automation). Bonus: It’s SATA/NVMe-ready and supports RAID 1 for redundancy on a budget.
Why it shines:
- Plug-and-play setup (no PhD required)
- Quiet, low-power, and compact—perfect for a living room or desk
- Dual drive bays (expandable later)
- Works out-of-the-box with Windows/macOS/Linux backups
Bottom line: If you’re building a retro rig or just want reliable, affordable network storage, the DH2300 punches way above its weight. And for a limited time (until Feb 22), you can snag it with discounts using codes DHNAS23US (US) or DHNAS26UK (UK).
