UGREEN NASync DXP4800GT review

The DXP4800GT is a four-bay NAS from UGREEN. All four bays take 3.5" or 2.5" SATA drives, and bays 1 and 2 also support U.2 NVMe. Two M.2 NVMe slots sit alongside them. It runs UGOS Pro and comes with a two-year manufacturer warranty.

UGREEN lists a maximum of 144TB, calculated as 4 × 32TB plus 2 × 8TB. The supported RAID modes are JBOD, Basic, 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10. That covers both capacity-focused and redundancy-focused layouts across four drives.

UGREEN recommends NAS-rated CMR drives and names WD Red Plus/Pro, Seagate IronWolf/Pro and Toshiba N300. The research found no restriction on other drives. Bays 1–2 support U.2 NVMe over PCIe 3.0 x4, so those bays can serve as fast storage as well as bulk storage.

Expansion is limited. There is no PCIe slot and no Thunderbolt. The front panel has one USB-C and one USB-A port, both 10Gb/s. The rear has one USB-A at 10Gb/s, two USB-A at 5Gb/s, HDMI 4K output and an SD 3.0 card reader.

The processor is an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 with four cores and eight threads, running at 2.1–3.7GHz. It is a Zen+ part with a configurable TDP of 12–25W. The Radeon Vega graphics provide H.264 and H.265 hardware transcoding.

The research lists those two codecs and no others. If you need a specific codec for media work, check it against UGREEN's specification first. With eight threads and hardware transcoding for H.264 and H.265, the chip suits file serving, a few containers and media streaming.

The NAS ships with 8GB of DDR4 at 4800MHz. It expands to 64GB, and ECC (ODECC) is supported. UGOS Pro supports Docker and virtual machines, but UGREEN doesn't publish a separate RAM figure for containers or VMs. The 64GB ceiling leaves a lot of headroom for several containers or VMs. ECC support also suits people who care about data integrity.

The two RJ45 ports are both 10GbE, and link aggregation can reach 20Gbps across them. There is no Wi-Fi, so the box needs a wired connection.

One caution applies. A pre-release review of the Plus model called 10GbE performance underwhelming and said the M.2 slots fell short of expectations. That review covers a different model, so treat it as a prompt to check rather than a finding about the GT.

The owner and reviewer feedback in the research comes mostly from the DXP4800 Plus, not the GT, so it may not carry over fully. Reviewers praised the build quality and easy setup. Some said UGOS may be too restrictive for advanced users. That matters if you want to tinker beyond what UGOS exposes. The research says nothing about installing another operating system.

Fan noise reports conflict. One review called the Plus very noisy. Another described it as quiet at idle and louder under load. One owner also hit a 2.5GbE port that failed to configure at boot, fixed with a workaround. The GT lists 10GbE ports, so that issue may not apply.

The research found no end-of-support date for the GT. UGREEN offers a two-year warranty.

The hardware fits someone building a fast home or small-office file server who wants 10GbE built in. Four SATA bays, two M.2 slots and a 64GB memory ceiling give room to grow. The limits are the lack of PCIe or Thunderbolt, and the UGOS restrictions that advanced users reported on the Plus model.
