UGREEN has launched the NASync DH2300, a network-attached storage (NAS) device designed to make high-capacity local storage easy for everyone. Alongside the DH4300 Plus (4-bay SATA) for advanced users, it redefines NAS as a practical solution for everyday needs, not just for IT professionals.

Up to 60TB of local storage

The DH2300 comes with a 2-bay SATA configuration supporting up to 60TB total capacity—30TB per drive. It’s made to handle massive photo collections, 4K videos, work files, and personal backups. By keeping data in one place, users can drop the hassle of managing multiple external drives or paying for cloud subscriptions. The device supports most NAS HDDs, allowing flexible upgrades without high upfront costs.

Setup in under 10 minutes

Ease of use is the main focus. The UGOS Pro operating system guides users through setup with step-by-step visuals and clear instructions. UGREEN says first-time users can finish installation and configuration in under 10 minutes.

The UGREEN NAS app brings all core features together—file management, photo backup, and media streaming—so users can do everything from their phone. There’s also NFC Quick Connection, which pairs a smartphone with the NAS through a single tap, skipping manual network setup and router adjustments.

Data protection made simple

Security is built into the system. The DH2300 uses TLS/SSL, RSA, and AES encryption to safeguard data and supports two-factor authentication. It has certifications from TÜV and TRUSTe, confirming compliance with international privacy and security standards.

Because it stores data locally, users have full control of their files. It also includes a local-only account mode that limits access to the LAN and a File Vault for private data.

Practical hardware for daily use

The device includes a 4K 60Hz HDMI port, allowing users to stream videos or view photos directly on a TV. It supports multiple RAID modes—JBOD, Basic, 0, and 1—so users can choose between maximizing space or prioritizing redundancy for critical files.

Pricing and availability

UGREEN will price the NASync DH2300 for entry-level users and share full pricing and availability details soon.

What’s your favorite YouTube design? I still hold a bit of nostalgia for the silver era, but the practicality of the current minimalist design is remarkable. Now, it’s time for a change. YouTube is refreshing its design starting this week.

Much like Apple with Liquid Glass, YouTube is going for a more transparent approach. The new design lets more content through the interface. It also features rounder buttons, in contrast to today’s blockier features.

The comments section is also getting a bit of an upgrade to allow for more structure between original posts and replies.

For engagement with actual videos, some videos will now have custom like animations. The update gives an example of a music video which puts out a musical note when liked. Adding a video to a custom playlist or the Watch Later list is also more natural.

YouTube is rolling out these updates starting this week. It will also be available for web, mobile, and TV users.

The purpose of a bend test is to determine how much pressure a phone can withstand before bending and breaking. The battery isn’t something you’d usually look at when performing these tests. That said, the new Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold now has the unfortunate distinction of being the first smartphone to explode during a bend test.

Here at GadgetMatch, we don’t really do bend tests. We leave it to the professionals like JerryRigEverything. If you’ve watched a bend test in the past, it’s likely from the renowned YouTuber. In the decade he’s been doing the test, he’s never experienced an explosion.

Today is a first. Putting through the foldable through his usual slate of stress tests, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold surprisingly exploded during the iconic bend test. Upon bending the foldable past its natural folding angles, the battery started swelling and expelling smoke. It eventually causes his smoke alarm to go off. Though it didn’t result in a catastrophic explosion, the phone still looked like a crime scene afterwards.

Via The Verge, iFixit says that the incident shouldn’t be a cause for concern. It’s possible that the exploding phone wasn’t properly discharged before testing. A moderately charged phone can potentially cause heat to run away and cause an incident.

Additionally, regular users don’t usually bend their own phones to the point of breaking. Replicating the phenomenon. Unless the user intentionally tries to replicate the feat, a potential explosion shouldn’t be a concern.
