uGreen NASync DXP4800 Pro Review: Sweet Spot of Price & Performance

At $679.99, the four-bay uGreen NASync DXP4800 Pro NAS is a capable mid-range NAS for creators and small teams in the Apple ecosystem, with an excellent value proposition. uGreen has built out its NAS range quickly since entering the category. AppleInsider has covered uGreen NAS hardware before, including the DXP4800 GT.

The DXP4800 Pro sits above the GT and Plus in the four-bay lineup. It pairs a six-core Intel Core i3-1315U chip with generous memory headroom. The pitch here is sustained performance for heavier work. Docker, virtual machines, and media processing are the target use cases.

The DXP4800 Pro shares the look of its siblings. It is a grey-black four-bay box with front-loading drive trays. The front panel holds the power button, status LEDs, an SD card slot, a 10Gbps USB-C port, and a USB-A 10Gbps port. Those front ports make quick media imports easy. There are six lockable drive bays at the front, numbered from left to right. They retain uGreen's normal design ethos with trays that are tool-free and hot-swappable.

The four bays each take a SATA drive up to 32TB. That alone allows 128TB before any other storage is added. Two M.2 NVMe slots supplement the main bays. Each takes up to an 8TB stick, adding 16TB more capacity, or caching for extra speed. uGreen lists a total maximum of 144TB. RAID options span JBOD, Basic, and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10.
