UGREEN 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)ClimatePartner certified

This is my first multi-disk NAS beyond a Raspberri Pi + HDD or a spare laptop running SMB.I'm impressed. The software, though a little cheesy in the package descriptions, is stable and useful. It has the ability to run almost anything in Docker. There are plenty of built-in file sharing protocols. So far, the 8GB of RAM is enough for now and I'm comfortable knowing that can be upgraded. No issues with physically adding and recognizing new disks and managing the array.I'm running a 2.5Gbps home network and this NAS maxes that out bandwidth consistently.I can't quantify is how well it uses the NVME cache. I have a pair of 512GB NVME sticks and it doesn't seem to maximize their capabilities. The disks are a little bit noisy, constantly churning since I'm storing video from one CCTV camera, a little bit of sound insulation in the housing could improve that.

I've been a heavy Plex user for almost ten years. Up until now I have put the server on a Windows PC with too many HD's. The constant updates, changes, and such that Microsoft does causes everything to reboot and restart far too often. I've been looking for a real solution for myself, about 8 people I share my libraries with, and about 12TB worth of movies, shows, music, etc.I noticed this NAS a few months ago and started some research and just kept coming back. For the money, you can't get the same performance and hardware/upgrades that this comes with. I upgraded the 8MB RAM to 32MB to be sure it would be quick enough for me. I bought 2x 16TB drives and kept 2x 8TB drives from my previous server.I am not a Linux user or know how to do alot of this type of stuff, but it took me about 2 hours to have the server completely setup and ready for media to be transferred. There is a YT Video out there about 18 minutes long and an English gentlemen walks you through most of it. It worked perfectly the first try out of the box and I started transferring the data.It took about 12-14 hours to transfer everything, but there wasn't one slip or hiccup or problem. Everything went perfectly and Plex immediately started updating everything and gave remote access without issue. The setup of the NAS is easy, the setup of Plex is easy, the Web app is incredibly fast and intuitive and the phone app is awesome and easy to use as well. I know these are relatively new to the market, but I can't wait to see what they bring out going forward.Amazing speed and I am very pleased to finally be done with a giant server PC and go to this nice compact box. Buy with confidence, you won't be disappointed!

Very happy with this NAS so far. I am using 4x 4TB Western Digital Red Plus hard drives with it plus 1TB Samsung 990 Evo Plus for a boot drive for TrueNAS and a 4TB Samsung 990 Evo Plus for a cache drive. It is much faster than my old QNAP NAS.Some interesting things to note:* TrueNAS recommends 16GB of RAM so I bought a "Crucial 8GB DDR5 RAM, 4800MHz CL40 High-Speed Laptop RAM, SODIMM 262-Pin - CT8G48C40S5" and it seems to be working well.* During setup of TrueNAS, the system kept resetting itself... so I disable the Watchdog timer in the BIOS.* Use Ctrl+F2 to get into the BIOS.* I left the original SSD with the UGREEN NAS software in there and bought a new 1TB SSD to use to boot TrueNAS.* Unfortunately the LED drive and network lights need special software. There is a solution for this unit when using TrueNAS out there but it is limited. Basically it checks the status of the drives and sets the light accordingly every 5 minutes via the cron job you can setup to run a special script. At least I should be instantly aware if a drive goes bad because I notice a light is red instead of green.* It took me awhile to figure everything out, get the new SSDs and RAM installed (easy enough though), doing some quick testing, get TrueNAS working the way I want with SMB shares, and robocopy everything over from my old NAS, but it was without any major issues and so far the system seems very stable. Hopefully it will keep working reliably for years without me having to spend a lot of time on it.

I recently migrated from a Synology DS420+ to the DXP 4800 Plus. The setup was a breeze—especially if you’re familiar with NAS systems. The OS is reminiscent of DSM, though it’s missing a few features. I had no trouble getting Docker containers spun up for the apps I need, and Plex hardware transcoding works flawlessly, thanks to my Plex Pass.One odd issue cropped up with the 2.5Gb NIC negotiating down to 1Gb. Fortunately, it was easily resolved by simply unplugging and reconnecting the network cable. My UPS is connected via USB and was immediately recognized by the OS, allowing me to configure power options without any hassle.For storage, I configured a WD Red NVMe as Volume 1 to host apps and Docker containers. My spinning drives are set as Volume 2 to handle mass storage.I can’t quite give it a full five stars, mainly due to the limitations of UGOS’s built-in backup software. While it functions reliably, users coming from Synology HyperBackup may find it lacking. Currently, backups to another NAS over RSYNC are supported, but it can’t perform folder syncs—only backup files in its proprietary format. To its credit, it does support versioning.Packaging was excellent and included everything needed for setup. The NAS itself is impressively built and looks great on the shelf.

I have used both a Synology and a UGREEN and I by far like the simplicity of the UGREEN NAS. I took others advice and upgraded to 32Gb of Ram right away. So far it has been working well and is fast.I also downloaded the app to my phone which allows me to access any of my information I need.I wish I would have bought this instead of all the other usb devices.

Easy to set up and use. There have been regular updates and improvements since receiving it. Seems reliable. Built on Linux with useful apps. Also offers 2 step authentication
