UGREEN NASync DXP480T Plus

This is a really great SSD NAS. However, the price of this NAS is twice as much as other comparable SSD NAS equipment on the market. Unfortunately, the cost is going to keep many from purchasing this product.

DXP4800 Plus Great product, well designed, and well thought out. It was easy to install, set up and load with data!

DXP4800 Plus I didn't necessarily have low expectations going in, but I figured a company that's mainly done chargers and a few docking stations wouldn't produce this strong of a NAS on their first try. It's an excellent simple NAS for newbies. Setup is easy, the interface is easy, the functionality is powerful. If you're willing to tinker a bit, this device is great with TrueNAS or Unraid. I favor TrueNAS here but tested both and Unraid worked perfectly fine on one of the USB 2.0 ports. The only hiccup I experienced with either was that the LEDs don't work as expected (at least not without installing a workaround). UGREEN's UGOS that comes installed by default is perfectly good, and once they release the source I'll likely even come back to using it. In this 4800 Plus you get four SATA bays which you can lock 3.5" drives in without screws. They also accept 2.5" drives. On the bottom there is a removable aluminum plates that exposes 2 M2 slots for 2280 drives and 2 DDR5 SODIMM slots, supporting up to 2x32GB RAM. There's no ventilation at all in this NVMe/RAM compartment which is unfortunate, so you have to rely on the extremely thick thermal pads provided for any NVMe drives you install or they will easily overheat. There's also a third NVMe slot that you have to mostly disassemble the case to get to. It houses the 128 GB drive that comes with the NAS and has the UGOS by default. Having 3 NVMe slots at least means you can use 2 for mirrored cache while the the third hosts the system files.

DXP4800 Plus Great

DXP8800 Plus Outstanding build quality. Thoughtful design. Power efficient yet powerful Intel Core i5 1235U 10 core / 12 thread processor with built in video subsystem. Easy Access HDD's and easy access to RAM as well as NVMe SSD's. Fast dual 10GbE. Thunderbolt 4 support along with USB 3.2 Gen 2. The only downside that I can think of is the provided UGreen UGOS Pro OS which needs some work. Most of the basic features are there. If a supported app isn't available then Docker will likely get you sorted. Still, the lack of iSCSI LUN support can be a problem for advanced users. Virtual Machines cant access external media such as USB or Thunderbolt. The OS is stable, it's just some of the little things haven't been sorted.

DXP4800 Plus The HW in this NAS is great. It holds 4 3.5" disks Raid (5,6,10) and also has options are an SSD volume or r/w cache. The memory is expandable using DDR5 SODIMMS. It has two (2.5F, 10G) Ethernets ports as well as several USB 3.2 options. The UGOS provides many of the most common NAS options. There is also native Docker and Virtual Machine support.

DXP2800 I'm reviewing this as someone that's been in IT for over 25 years and has used similar units from Synology all the way up to huge $100k+ SANs. This is a great little storage tank for use in the home and even to a certain extent some limited usage in the corporate world. For me, I'm using it solely for local machine backups, so I don't really need a ton of features beyond just a bunch of disk space, but this has a lot more than I expected. The ability to install M.2 NVMe drives as read/write caches is great and seems to speed things up considerably. It was super easy to configure and the box itself is well-built and easy to manage. Some of the most clever drive trays I've ever dealt with: no tools required and I had this thing loaded up with test drives and serving files in like ten minutes. I had it set up as a local Time Machine backup in under an hour. (most of that was spent finding a place to hide it) It's reasonably quiet and it has a lot of options to silence beeps and dim lights, which is nice if you're using it at home. If there's one thing I take from evaluating this: I see a lot of potential in this thing going forward. It really reminds me a lot of older Synology units where they had the essentials needed when they came out, but then they just kept adding more features over time to make them even better. This is missing things that Synology has like iSCSI targets, etc, but I'm sure all that stuff will come as time and market needs dictates. I should mention that I haven't yet tried the Docker setup, but I do intend to here soon. In that case, I feel like a RAM upgrade would probably be justified.

DXP2800 Just WOW! This thing is amazing! They storage capacity is INSANE!!!

DXP4800 Plus Easy to assemble and put into operation....I put in 4 20TB harddrives, setup Raid5 and now have 55TB volume. My only wish here was better documentation.

DXP4800 Plus i replace the OS on the nas with truenas. it work well just like any other computer. ugreen is ok with changing the os. i was able to get the full 10g speed with the nas with the nvme. so with that in mind, i just use the nvme as a cache for my 4 sata drive. with that i was able to get very fast speed with my nas.

DXP4800 Plus What can I say, this thing is AWESOME. FAST CPU, plenty of RAM and is even expandable, 4x SATA slots, 2x NVME slots. Comes with two CAT 7 cables, so if you plan on taking advantage of the 10gb port, you're good to go out of the box. I did take one star away and here's why: the HDD trays are made of plastic. At this price point, I would expect a superior product. While it doesn't affect performance in any way, I would have really liked it if they were made of metal. They are easy to use, toolless drive insertion is great. The only other complaint is the limited selection of apps in the interface. Something as popular as Plex isn't even available. You can use docker and install it that way, but it really should be integrated and available from the Appstore. So close to 5 stars if they would address those two things.

DXP4800 Plus This is one of the most feature-rich NAS units that I have used. For something similar, you would have to pay multiple times the price. The hardware is more akin to a full-fledged computer than a NAS appliance, and the performance benefit shows. The DXP4800 Plus has a Pentium processor, 8GB of DDR5, and expansion slots for NVME drives. The processor has made all operations run quickly and smoothly as well as the included apps. The app library is relatively small with UGREEN's young NAS OS, but core features are all there. created my setup with four 10TB NAS drives in RAID5 with two 128GB NVME drives in RAID1 acting as an accelerator. Two NVME drives are required to setup a read/write cache while only one is required for a read cache. I was able to achieve over 500MB/s in this configuration with two 2.5G connections active while migrating 20TB of files. I have been very impressed by the ease of setup and the stellar performance of this NAS.

DXP4800 Plus I��ve always trusted UGREEN, and their NASync DXP4800 Plus hasn��t disappointed. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to the clear and straightforward instructions. I didn��t need any special tools, and within minutes, I had added both an HDD and an SSD, installed the app, and started uploading files. It��s clear that the design prioritizes simplicity and efficiency. I��ve been using this NAS to store our company��s most sensitive files for extra security, and the performance has been flawless with zero downtime. For anyone looking for a reliable and affordable NAS without unnecessary features, I highly recommend this one.

DXP4800 Plus When I first saw this on Vine, I wasn't expecting much, but grabbed it. I started doing some research and everyone is raving on this little unit. The price is pretty much right in line with other quality 4 bay NASs from other manufacturers. The installation was pretty straight forward. I populated with 4 20Tb WD reds. I had 6 in another machine I was messing with and was running TrueNAS. Nothing important was on the drives, so II put them in this unit. Two of the drives, however, would not be recognized and was throwing errors. After moving the drives around to different bays and then swapping trays, it was determined two of the six drives would not work. I haven't subsequently tried these drives in another machine, so at this point I don't know if the drives are bad or this NAS is finicky. I will report back later. It is obvious that Ugreen is emulating Synology in their OS, as the similarities are striking. However, the OS is not nearly as polished. So far, no bugs or glitching have been found. The setup of the pool and volume has been flawless. I ran the error check test with no errors. I've copied a bunch of files over without issue. I don't have a 10Gb network, so that has not been tested, but will now give me an excuse to spend the money on a switch, some 10Gb cards, and proper cables to at least get my workstation up to speed to transfer files as a sportier rate. Compared to the Synology 918+ this is a good machine. Plus, everyone is talking about installing alternate OSes on this and I think after a bit I'll install TrueNAS, something you can not do on any other purpose built NAS I can think of. So far, 100% recommending this NAS.

DXP2800 Took a little bit of setup to get logged in from my PC because I had to reset the system and didn't read the full instructions. After a factory reset the default login is "admin" for user name and the password is blank. After I got up and running I had consistent transfer speeds from my PC to the NAS at 113Mbps. I migrated all my Plex library onto 1 12tb disk and my backup files onto an 8gb disk. Working great. Time will tell but so far I love it. Would recommend.

DXP4800 Plus Received this and got it setup, currently only have a 256GB SSD in as I don't have my HDDs picked out yet. I plan on using this as a backup to my current NAS as I don't want to have to rip and convert my Blu-rays and DVDs again should my current NAS fail. For the price I'm torn with this product, $700 will allow you to put together a more capable computer with storage included rather than this diskless system, though you will struggle to match some of the features like 10G LAN or the ease of swapping drives. Just putting something together without looking for deals or trying to get the best price/performance I could custom build a system with a 12400f, 32GB RAM, 256GB NVME, and an 8TB HDD for just a few dollars more than this, the custom system would outperform this NAS considerably while using a bit more power. Out of the box though this is a compact system that works; however, you need to pick up storage to really use it. You can setup different RAID options for redundancy, for my use case I won't be using RAID as it will basically be a backup Jellyfin server. You can install apps from their small offerings or install basically any Linux applications if you're comfortable doing that. You can also use Docker for setting up apps like Jellyfin. Without installing anything extra you can set this up for a multi-user NAS through which you can assign permissions and roles fairly easily. It has out of the box remote access that you can setup, I will not be using that. With 4 drive bays this is appropriate for home users and small to medium businesses. Setup is pretty simple for a home user and should allow most people to have enough storage for their needs. The video library / streaming works; however, I will be sticking to Jellyfin as the included app would only return Chinese titles when searching and I'm not sure why, I assume this will be fixed with an update. I also just really like the Jellyfin interface and have been using it for a couple years. Build quality is excellent. It's a very compact system and feels very well put together, this would be one of the more difficult areas to replicate with a custom build. I would recommend this if you want a NAS that is basically ready to use out of the box with a little bit of configuration and setup. Just keep in mind you also need to have or buy drives to actually use this. If you're comfortable doing so you can custom build a NAS that will outperform this significantly but isn't likely to be as compact and requires more knowledge and effort.
