UGREEN's DXP4800 Pro arrives as a mid‑cycle refresh of the DXP4800 Plus, keeping the same metal unibody and four‑bay layout while swapping in a 6‑core Intel Core i3‑1315U. The new CPU adds native AV1 decoding and higher multi‑core throughput, and the board supports DDR5 at 5600 MT/s with two M.2 slots for fast SSD cache, making it a compelling upgrade for power users.

Standard connectivity includes 10 Gigabit Ethernet and a 2.5 GbE port, HDMI 2.0, USB‑C and USB‑A, ready for demanding home or small‑business networks. The unit supports up to 96 GB DDR5 RAM—8 GB installed—and delivers strong Plex and Jellyfin hardware transcodes, especially AV1 4K streams. Under load it draws about 60 W, higher than the Plus, while its fan keeps temperatures in check.

Pricing positions the Pro at $719, just $63 more than the older Plus model and a few dollars above the Synology DS925+ at $629, which lacks 10 GbE. For users prioritizing raw transcoding power and future‑proof networking, the DXP4800 Pro offers the strongest hardware package in the 4‑bay segment today. Long‑term reliability appears solid after months of testing, earning it the top spot for performance‑focused NAS buyers.
