UGREEN NAS DH4300 Plus

The DH4300 Plus is the device that finally replaced my Raspberry Pi “do-it-all” experiment. It gives me RAID-protected storage and enough processing power that Plex transcoding isn’t a constant workaround, while Docker lets me run Homebridge and Plex in one always-on place.

Pros

+Four-bay RAID support for safer storage (I used RAID 5)
+Runs Docker containers for Plex and Homebridge
+More processing power than my Pi setup for real-time Plex transcoding
+Easy setup and management through the mobile app
+2.5GbE capable for fast transfers (network permitting)

Cons

-Hard drives sold separately, which increases total investment
-Your router/network can bottleneck speeds (my Eero 6 Plus capped me at 1GbE)
