UGREEN is taking a swing at the higher end of the NAS market with two new models that look built for people who are tired of waiting for files to transfer.
The new NASync DXP4800 GT and DXP2800 GT both ditch Intel in favor of AMD silicon and add 10GbE networking for much faster performance than the average home NAS box.
Both systems are powered by the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor, a 4-core, 8-thread chip designed for devices that are expected to stay on around the clock.
The bigger of the two models is the DXP4800 GT, a four-bay NAS aimed at creators, photographers, video editors, and anyone else pushing around large files all day long. It comes with dual 10GbE ports, two M.2 NVMe slots, front-facing SD and USB ports for quick imports, and support for as much as 144TB of storage.
UGREEN is also pitching the machine as a home surveillance hub. Its latest UGOS Pro software includes a new Surveillance Center application that can manage camera footage locally, which may appeal to users looking to avoid yet another monthly subscription.
The smaller DXP2800 GT keeps the same AMD processor and 10GbE networking, although buyers only get a single 10GbE port this time around, while trimming the design down to two drive bays and up to 80TB of storage capacity.
Personally, what stands out here isn’t the storage capacity or even the AMD processor. It is the inclusion of 10GbE networking across both models. Fast networking has traditionally been reserved for expensive enterprise gear, so seeing it show up in more consumer-focused NAS devices is a welcome trend.
The UGREEN NASync DXP2800 GT is priced at $509.99 but it is currently on sale for $399.99. Meanwhile the DXP4800 GT costs $659.99 but it is currently on sale for just $527.99.
