Ugreen DXP4800 GT NAS drops to $559.99 with $100 discount

The DXP4800 GT combines an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor with four cores and eight threads and 8GB of DDR4 memory. Memory can be expanded to 64GB, and compatible ECC memory can be installed. It has dual 10GbE networking, two M.2 NVMe slots, and four SATA bays that support drives up to 32TB each; two of those bays also support U.2 NVMe SSDs. TechRadar says the NAS has a claimed maximum capacity of 144TB. Other connections include USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and an SD card slot.

In a five-star review, TechRadar's Alastair called the DXP4800 GT 'an excellent choice for smaller studios, offices and homes, really anyone who wants dual 10GbE without the huge cost that has until now been associated with this network speed.' He said that after comparing the yearly costs of Google Drive, WeTransfer, Wipster, and Backblaze subscriptions, those costs quickly surpassed the price of the DXP4800 GT. TechRadar described it as 'the best-value 4-bay 10GbE NAS you can buy' and an excellent choice for video and creators who need mass storage and speed.

TechRadar notes that the DXP4800 GT is a diskless NAS, so buyers must budget separately for HDDs or SSDs. It also says the $559.99 price is not the lowest it has seen; the publication has seen it at $528 in the recent past. According to TechRadar, buyers who only need backup storage or who lack networking hardware that can take advantage of 10GbE may be better served by a more basic two- or four-bay NAS that costs considerably less.

For photographers and video creators, TechRadar says the combination of fast networking, SSD expansion, and direct SD card imports can be especially useful. The system is capable of local-like 4K and 8K editing directly from the NAS when the rest of the network and storage setup can keep up. The UGOS Pro software supports Docker, virtual machines, SAN Manager, backups, and compatible surveillance cameras, according to the report.

Editor's Summary The Ugreen DXP4800 GT NAS is discounted by $100 to $559.99 at Amazon, according to TechRadar. The four-bay device offers dual 10GbE, Ryzen processing, NVMe expansion, and up to 144TB claimed capacity, but it is sold without drives. TechRadar's five-star review positions it for creators and small teams needing fast centralized storage.
