Newly arrived into the highly competitive NAS market, Ugreen has launched a range of six devices ranging from a 2-bay model up to an eight-bay unit. The four-bay NASync DXP4800Plus sits in the mid-range and uses an interesting choice of hardware.

Powering the DXP4800 Plus is an interesting choice of CPU as Ugreen has opted for an Intel Pentium Gold 8505 as it's a 12th Gen processor compared to the standard DXP4800 which uses a 13th generation Intel Processor N. Although a generation older the 8505 has a better feature set than the N series; 64GB of memory support (as opposed to 16MB), better graphics and perhaps most importantly it supports PCIe Gen 4 and provides 20 PCIe lanes compared to the 9 lanes of PCIe Gen 3 that the N supports.

The NAS comes with 8GB of DDR5 installed and supports up to 64GB via a pair of SO-DIMM slots. Another interesting feature is that the DXP4800 Plus (and the devices above it in the range) don't use a flash memory system disc but instead uses an actual SSD with 128GB capacity. Ugreen also provide the DXP4800 with a pair of NVMe PCIe 4.0 slots for caching or extra storage duties.

The DXP4800 Plus is the only NAS in the current lineup that has a choice of two different speeds of Ethernet connection, 10GbE and 2.5GbE. Ugreen back the NAS with a 2-year warranty.
