Today is World Backup Day, which is the perfect time to look at storage deals that can actually clean up the mess of files spread across phones, laptops, tablets, and old external drives. I found a great deal on the UGreen NAS DH2300 2-Bay Desktop, which is down to $176 (was $220) at Amazon.com for the final day of the Big Spring Sale.
The NAS system is also on discounted in the UK, where the UGreen NAS DH2300 is priced at £243 (was £296) at Amazon.co.uk.
This is a diskless 2-bay desktop NAS, so you’ll need to add your own drives, although it supports up to 64TB of total capacity. Fully loaded it will give you plenty of room for huge photo libraries, video collections, personal documents, and backups from multiple devices.
UGreen pitches this as a beginner-friendly system, and that’s a big part of its appeal. It’s a simple step up from cloud storage or scattered external drives, giving you one private place for your files instead of leaving everything split across different devices and services.

Inside, it comes with 4GB of onboard LPDDR4X RAM, a 1GbE port, and a processor built to keep day-to-day storage tasks ticking along nicely. Transfer speeds can reach up to 125MB/s, which means moving a 1GB file can take around eight seconds under the right conditions.
There’s 4K HDMI support, remote access, and an AI photo album system that can tag faces, locations, text, and objects, making it much easier to search through a growing library of images later.
Privacy is a big selling point here, as your data stays on your own drives, and UGreen includes features such as RAID support, two-factor authentication, permission controls, and encrypted transfers.
In his rave review, our NAS expert Mark said the DH2300 is the “perfect starter NAS for someone who wants to capture Cloud content and also have local computer backups without breaking the bank.” We also said it “offers an easy-to-follow learning curve, and most users should be up and running within a remarkably short time.”
For anyone who wants an easy first NAS on World Backup Day, this is an excellent deal.
