The UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus is a four-bay NAS. It holds four 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA drives and adds two M.2 NVMe slots, running UGOS Pro on an Intel CPU with a 10GbE-capable network.
Drive-compatibility policy for this model
UGREEN uses standard drives with no proprietary lock — a deliberate contrast to the 2025 Synology restrictions. Any 3.5-inch CMR NAS or enterprise drive works. Confirm your capacity on UGREEN's compatibility page for the DXP4800 Plus.
Recommended CMR picks
- General / home: WD Red Plus or Seagate IronWolf.
- 10GbE / Plex: the DXP4800 Plus has an Intel CPU with Quick Sync and fast networking — WD Red Pro or IronWolf Pro feed it well, optionally with an NVMe cache.
- Bulk value: Seagate Exos or Toshiba N300.
What to avoid
- SMR drives — they stall rebuilds.
- Desktop drives — not 24/7-rated.
