uGreen NASync DXP4800 GT brings dual 10GbE at $659

The uGreen NASync DXP4800 GT is a four-bay NAS aimed at creators and small teams, built for long sessions with an AMD processor, dual 10GbE networking, and U.2-class SSD support. Priced at $659.99 MSRP, it adds up to 144TB capacity, runs UGOS Pro, supports ONV

On a desk, the uGreen NASync DXP4800 GT doesn’t try to impress you. It’s a black box with a copper-toned front trim, a quiet presence meant for the background. But once you start moving large files—or setting up local media and camera recording—the pitch becomes clear. This is a mid-range network-attached storage system built to keep up for long stretches, not just coast through quick check-ins.

The headline feature is dual 10GbE networking, and uGreen positions it as “Grand Touring” performance—steady output over extended sessions. It’s also a meaningful hardware shift for the DXP lineup: the DXP4800 GT is the first DXP model to use an AMD processor instead of Intel. For creators and small teams. that combination is supposed to translate into faster. smoother local workflows without leaning on subscription cloud storage and camera plans.

From the start, uGreen makes the experience feel desk-friendly. The four drive bays are front-accessible, each using a numbered lockable tray. The front panel also includes a power button. status LEDs. an SD card slot. a USB-C port. and a USB-A port—ports placed where you can grab them quickly instead of reaching around the back.

If you care about storage capacity and flexibility, the numbers are straightforward. The DXP4800 GT has four SATA drive bays supporting SATA drives up to 32TB each. enabling up to 128TB from the spinning drives alone. It also includes two M.2 NVMe slots. each designed to take up to an 8TB NVMe stick for an additional 16TB. uGreen lists a total maximum capacity of 144TB, combining the SATA maxes with the M.2 maximums.

Those two M.2 slots run at PCIe Gen3 x2, which sits below the Gen4 speeds found in some higher-end models. uGreen’s framing here is that Gen3 is enough for SSD caching. which is the practical role those M.2 drives are meant to fill. For RAID flexibility, the DXP4800 GT supports JBOD, Basic, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10.

Under the hood, the NAS uses a 64GB eMMC chip to handle the operating system separately from the main bays. In the review unit testing. uGreen’s provided drives included four 2TB Seagate Red drives. and the tester also used four 24TB WD Red Pro drives. The 24TB WD Red Pro units were noted as selling for about $900 per unit on Amazon.

For SSD testing. the setup included a pair of Samsung 990 Evo Plus drives and a pair of Samsung SSD 9100 Pro 1TB drives. The guidance from the tester was blunt: you don’t need drives that fast. and it’s fine to stick with PCIe 3.0 drives if you already have them. since they’re cheaper and still deliver enough speed.

The storage system is also paired with UGOS Pro, and uGreen’s OS features include the ability to add more drives to an existing RAID. The trade-off is time. The setup can take a very long time—sometimes days—especially for RAID 5.

Networking is where the GT name really starts to matter. The DXP4800 GT carries two 10GbE ports. uGreen describes this as up to 4x faster than the more common 2.5GbE found on many consumer NAS devices. The review points out that it’s not perfectly reflected in every real-world scenario. but it’s close enough to be meaningful: in day-to-day use. performance is expected to match what your network can actually support.

On a gigabit network, you can expect speeds consistent with what you’ve ever seen from one device. On a 10GbE network, the same expectation holds. The review also emphasizes the practical ceiling: 10-gigabit isn’t standard in most homes. so you need compatible router or switch infrastructure to get the full benefit. The review compares the current reality—Wi-Fi 7 routers with 10 gigabit ports being cheaper than they were when network-attached storage reviews started—to the added cost of switching.

Even with the NAS itself doing the right things, you still have to pay attention to the network gear around it. The rear ports include two USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports and two USB-A 2.0 ports, plus an HDMI output supporting 4K at 60Hz. On the front, there’s one USB-C 3.2 Gen2 port and an SD 3.0 card slot.

HDMI isn’t just for show. Using the included Player app, the device can store media locally and play it directly. uGreen positions this as a fun extra feature that goes beyond the usual “set it and forget it” NAS setup.

Inside, the DXP4800 GT runs the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514: four cores, eight threads, rated up to 3.7GHz. uGreen describes it as built for 24/7 use, and the company also claims a 26% performance gain over the chip in the standard DXP4800.

The review notes that it feels fast enough, though it isn’t as quick as the uGreen NAsync iDX6011 Pro. That comparison matters because the iDX6011 Pro was described as costing more than three times as much.

Real benchmarks were included. Listings using the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 on Geekbench were said to put the single-core score around 1. 100. with multi-core scores generally varying between 2. 200 and 3. 100. The tester compares that to Apple’s older Intel Macs for context. concluding that in 2026 it isn’t a great score for a computer—but it’s pretty good for network storage.

Memory is another point where the GT design makes sense for most NAS tasks but can bite if you push it. The system ships with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, expanded across two slots for up to 64GB total. The review calls that headroom useful for running multiple Docker containers or heavier workloads.

UGOS Pro is the operating system in the box. The tester described it as working decently after a few years of development. estimating it as “about 90%” of Synology’s offering in this respect. Setup. management. and access control were described as easy. and for typical NAS duties—file serving. media streaming. and Docker apps—the R2514 is said to be more than capable without a RAM upgrade.

Backups bring both promise and limits. There is support for Time Machine. but the review says it isn’t immediately usable and doesn’t provide the procedure. uGreen’s video and a support document were cited as more helpful. The review also compared the backup and restore experience to a Time Capsule. saying speeds will be far slower than direct-attached storage.

Where UGOS Pro makes a fresh impression is security and camera handling. The review points to a new Surveillance Center app in the latest UGOS Pro. It connects to ONVIF-standard IP cameras for live viewing, local recording, playback, and event monitoring. ONVIF is an open standard intended to let cameras from different brands work with third-party software. which is why the DXP4800 GT can act as a local recording hub for mixed camera sets.

For Apple users, the review ties that directly to privacy. Storing camera footage and photos locally keeps data off cloud services, described as a privacy advantage over subscription-based camera and storage plans. But the review is equally clear about what it isn’t: it is not HomeKit Video.

The media side also lands well. Plex can run on the NAS, and there’s full hardware-accelerated 4K transcoding. The review says it can handle concurrent 4K streams in both direct play and transcoded formats, depending on clients and network bandwidth.

In testing on a 10-gigabit wired network, the tester hit six 4K60 HDR streams to Apple TV units using Infuse, with direct streams and no transcoding. Transcoding reduced the number to five streams, which the tester still described as incredible.

Not every story here is about performance. The review also addresses an internet rumor that the hardware is assembled in China and that it could be a “spy box” for China—or even worse. described in one thread as a “global illuminati” conspiracy. The tester said the device does periodically “phone home” to check update status, described as the only behavior confirmed.

For users whose concerns go beyond that, the review offers an escape hatch: install other network operating systems like a full Debian install, TrueNAS, Unraid, or Proxmox. That would remove uGreen’s stock system from the picture.

It all circles back to the DXP4800 GT’s pricing and its single clear value argument. The $659.99 MSRP is positioned as a serious tool rather than a casual purchase. uGreen’s angle is subscription-averse: avoid ongoing cloud storage and camera management fees by hosting locally. For Apple households. the review says UGOS Pro’s Time Machine support and macOS compatibility make it a workable fit. but it also reiterates that a 10-gigabit-capable Mac or compatible switch is needed to get the most out of the networking.

The DXP4800 GT’s strengths are summarized as dual 10GbE networking. AMD Ryzen processing with 64GB RAM headroom. and no subscription fees for storage or camera management. The limitations are equally explicit: 10GbE requires compatible network gear. M.2 slots are limited to PCIe Gen3 x2. and UGOS Pro still trails Synology’s software.

The rating given is 4.5 out of 5. with the tester explaining that scoring was debated between 4 and 4.5 “for the longest time.” The conclusion lands on cost-effectiveness and out-of-the-box capability. while also admitting the obvious: if you get heavily into Docker. it could use more RAM. Otherwise. the review frames the GT as a capable mid-range NAS that’s flexible enough to improve with an SSD upgrade. more RAM. or a full operating system change.

The uGreen NASync DXP4800 GT is available from Amazon, priced at $659.99.
