UGREEN DXP2800 or Synology DS225+ for files/photos across family
Hi everyone, I’m looking to get my first 2-Bay NAS mainly for photo and file storage across my family’s phones and devices, where we each can store all our individual stuff and access it privately.
My main use case is: • Backing up photos/videos from multiple iPhones • Easy file access for family members • Remote upload/download when outside the house • Reliable long-term use • Simple backups without too much maintenance • Preferably something beginner-friendly
I’ve been reading around and noticed a common discussion: Synology seems to have better software, while UGREEN seems to offer better hardware for the price.
I’m currently deciding between: • UGREEN DXP2800 • Synology DS225+
Which should i go with? Or if there are better recommendations, please let me know!
Also, i’m thinking to get the WD Red Plus hard disk, 8TBx 2 and do a RAID 1, or is mirroring unnecessary?
