Ugreen is a relatively new player in the NAS world, but its range is rapidly expanding. It now includes ten products spanning from entry-level two-bay options up to eight-bay devices aimed more at businesses. The NASync DXP4800 Pro sits towards the top of Ugreen's selection, offering four bays and similar features to the NASync DXP4800 Plus released in 2024, but with a more powerful processor so more demanding supplementary workloads can be supported. We put the newcomer through its paces.
The big change with the DXP4800 Pro over the Plus is that instead of the 12th Gen Intel Pentium Gold 8505, it uses a 13th Gen Intel Core i3-1315U. Alongside the later generation, the Core i3 has six instead of five cores, and the additional core is of the Performance variety, so supports hyper-threading and both P cores run at up to 4.5GHz. That gives you eight threads instead of six and about 25 per cent better performance overall. The integrated graphics also offers better performance, which may not seem important in a NAS box, but we'll come to that later.
While both Pro and Plus come with 8GB of DDR5 memory as standard, the Pro can be upgraded to 96GB where the Plus maxes out at 64GB. Like the Plus, there's a built-in 128GB SSD for the operating system and applications, rather than flash memory. Alongside the quartet of 3.5in bays, you get a pair of NVMe PCIe 4.0 slots for caching or extra storage duties. You get both 10Gbit and 2.5Gbit Ethernet ports on the back, and an SD card reader on the front too, alongside USB slots, both Type A and Type-C.
In other words, this is a comprehensively specified NAS box on paper. Read on to find out whether it fulfils its potential.
The Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Prois available direct from Ugreen for £689.99 inc VAT, though it is on offer until May 17th 2026 for £585.99.
