Green NASync DXP4800 Plus 4-Bay Desktop NAS, Intel Pentium Gold 8505 5-Core CPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 128G SSD, 1 * 10GbE, 1 * 2.5GbE, 2 * M.2 NVMe Slots, 4K HDMI, Network Attached Storage (Diskless)

The UGREEN NAS DXP 4800 Plus is my first NAS, and I’m impressed. The OS is intuitive and easy to use, making setup a breeze. The build quality is excellent, and the hardware is powerful, offering great performance. Compared to other brands at the same price point, this NAS provides significantly better specifications, making it a great value for the money.

I've used many different storage servers and NAS appliances over the years, and this one takes the cake, especially for the price.It's so well designed, and it's incredibly accessible for people that want to tinker (it has a JTAG header)! The CPU beats my old 24 core Dell r610 rack server despite only 6 cores and using an order of magnitude less power. And it Does. The. Job. as a NAS. I can hit ~1GB/s real world speeds when using SMB to copy a file to the nvme disks.You can take out the stock 128gb boot disk and replace it with your own nvme also, giving you an extra slot (if you boot off a USB), but beware the internal slot is only PCIe 3.0 speeds compared to 4.0 for the 2 main ones. Google for "dxp4800_plus_lspci_fio_tests.txt" for nvme details and speedtest results.My current setup: 236TB installed, 128TB usable- TrueNAS scale- 2x 64GB samsung USB keys (as mirrored boot pool)- 3x 8TB Sabrent Rocket nvme drives in a stripe for 24TB of nvme storage @ 3500MB/s- 4x 20TB WD Red Pro hard drives in a mirrored striped array for 40TB usable @ 350MB/s- 1x 4TB External USB 4 SSD to use for L2ARC on the hard drive pool @ 550MB/s- 2x 32GB Silicon Power DDR5 RAM sticks for 64GB total RAM- 1x 10GBe link to my UDM router- 1x 2.5GBe fallback link to UDM router- JetKVM plugged into the HDMI and USB portsI'm thinking about cutting a hole in the case to make the 3rd nvme slot more accessible, but they used such thick aluminum that it's not worth it!

Perfect for all my needs! Build quality is great, a lot of adjustments in UGOS, very capable NAS with great speeds if using SSD’s, storage capacity is great when loaded with HDD’s. Love that it comes with 2.5g and 10g Ethernet ports and also 2 Ethernet cords! Great value for the money compared to other brands!

So far I found the NAS system to be great, unlike it’s user manual. Without youtube videos I would be lost as I don’t have any NAS experience. Five points for the NAS hardware and minus 1 point for the manual giving an overall score of 4.

Good build quality. Easy access to upgrade RAM. Love that it has a microSD card slot. The software is decent not great not terrible. It has a lot of security options like 2FA. Cheaper than comparable hardware from other brands.

Is this overpriced? Yes, but it is worth the cost to have such little hassle. The build quality on this is amazing. Unfortunately, the software is not quite there yet. It's delicious a work in process. Additionally, the thermal pads they included broke my M2 NVME when I opened up the lid to stick in more RAM. They are too sticky/big. Get new thermal pads.

Easy to use and it works out the box. Setting it up with an iPhone. Security is excellent. I’m have 1tb hard drives in it right now. Later I will update.

So far I've had a blast playing with this NAS. It's a bit different than the other NAS systems, but once you learn to specify the file locations in docker, you should be good to go. The 10gbe connection has been a welcome addition to my network!Look into adding the velcro mod to quiet the hard drives down. I noticed they were louder than I'd expected until I put some strips of velcro in the case. Now it's silent!
