Note:
1. Please choose appropriate hardware for optimal compatibility. Prioritize products that have passed compatibility testing to ensure a better user experience.
2. Compatibility tests cannot cover every aspect of all products on the market, and changes in hardware or software may affect device compatibility and stability.
3. HDDs and SSDs have a defined lifespan. Make sure to check the status of your drives and take appropriate measures to avoid potential data loss.
4. It is not recommended to use SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) hard drives or mix old and new drives in the same RAID storage array, as this may lead to a risk of data loss.

UGREEN NAS Hard Drive & SSD Compatibility FAQs
The compatibility list includes models that have been carefully tested by the UGREEN lab to ensure maximum stability. If your hard drive is not listed there, this does not necessarily mean that it will not work, especially if it is a current standard SATA hard drive. However, complete stability cannot be guaranteed. For maximum data security, we recommend using the listed models.
Yes. Our Home Series models—including UGREEN DH2300 and UGREEN DH4300 Plus—support high-capacity HDDs such as the Seagate ST30000NT011.
That said, drive choice is only one piece of a quiet setup—mounting, fan curves, and placement can make just as much difference in real-world noise. If you want practical ways to cut vibration and keep a living-room NAS quieter, see our guide on reducing NAS noise at home.
CMR drives behave predictably under the exact kinds of workloads a NAS commonly generates (multi-user writes, small random writes, background housekeeping, and RAID rebuilds), while SMR drives can become extremely slow and “spiky” when they have to rewrite data—enough to increase the risk of RAID trouble and data loss.
Whether you are using the [UGREEN DXP2800] or the [UGREEN DXP4800 Plus], we strongly suggest choosing CMR drives (like WD Red Plus or Seagate IronWolf) from our list to ensure your data remains safe and accessible.
