The current set
Six named boxes. Manufacturer studio photos, who each is for, then a live Amazon UK search. We never invent the ticket.
Unsure which class you need? Run the planner.
2-bay · Value 2-bay
A first NAS for photos, documents and phone backup. No media server.
Not for: Direct Play libraries, transcoding, or a planning target at 8 TB and above.
2-bay · Plus-class 2-bay
A 2-bay that will serve a mostly Direct Play library. Still a mirror.
Not for: Households that may need hardware transcoding, or a target at 8 TB and above.
2-bay · Plus-class 2-bay
A 2-bay alternative in the plus class, if you prefer UGREEN to Synology.
Not for: A verified transcode box. We do not copy a Quick Sync claim as a lab result.
4-bay · 4-bay, no transcode claim
A household that crossed the 8 TB line and wants a current compact 4-bay.
Not for: A verified hardware-transcode enclosure. The public UK page does not claim that.
4-bay · 4-bay, no transcode claim
A 4-bay Synology Plus when capacity, not transcoding, is the constraint.
Not for: A verified transcode lab pick. We do not invent that claim.
4-bay · 4-bay, no transcode claim
A 4-bay UGREEN alternative in the same editorial class as the Synology 4-bays.
Not for: A verified transcode enclosure.
Drives and power, after the box
2-bay NAS
Named 2-bay enclosures in the current set. Search, not a SKU.
4-bay NAS
Named 4-bay enclosures. Capacity line is 8.0 TB in the planner.
NAS-rated CMR drives
Desktop drives are a poor fit in RAID. Class only — no part number.
UPS
A NAS should shut down cleanly on a power cut. Companion, not the box.
