UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus

Yes. The DXP4800 Plus includes 8GB of DDR5 memory and supports expansion up to 64GB. More memory can help with multiple Docker containers, virtual machines, large photo libraries, and concurrent users. Confirm the exact RAM module in the compatibility list before upgrading.

Both are four-bay NAS models with two M.2 NVMe slots, but they suit different storage and network setups. The DXP4800 Plus uses an Intel Pentium Gold 8505 processor, 8GB DDR5 memory expandable to 64GB, and one 10GbE plus one 2.5GbE port—useful when a creator workstation is on 10GbE while other devices remain on a 2.5GbE network.

The DXP4800 GT uses an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, two 10GbE ports, and optional U.2 NVMe SSD support in bays 1 and 2. Choose it for multi-user 10GbE workflows, higher-speed all-flash storage options, or a network built around dual 10GbE connections.

For the full model range, compare UGREEN NAS specifications.

To approach 10GbE transfer speeds with the DXP4800 Plus, every part of the transfer path must support 10GbE:

• A computer with a 10GbE Ethernet port or compatible 10GbE adapter
• A 10GbE switch, or a direct 10GbE connection between the computer and NAS
• Suitable cabling, such as Cat6a for 10GBASE-T runs
• NAS drives and RAID storage fast enough to sustain the workload—one HDD cannot deliver 10GbE throughput on its own
• A fast source or destination drive on the computer, especially for large write operations

A 10GbE connection has a theoretical maximum of 1.25GB/s; real file-copy speeds will be lower because of network overhead, RAID mode, drive performance, file size, and the protocol in use. Large sequential files are the best way to test network throughput; many small files will transfer substantially more slowly.

First confirm that both the NAS and computer have negotiated a 10GbE link. If performance remains lower than expected, follow this guide to identify and troubleshoot NAS transfer bottlenecks.

The DXP4800 Plus is rated at 42.36W during drive access and 18.12W during drive hibernation (This power consumption data was measured by UGREEN’s lab using a Seagate 2TB hard drive.).

Installed drive type and count, RAID activity, background tasks, network traffic, cooling, and hibernation settings all affect actual use.

Yes. You can run Plex in Docker on the DXP4800 Plus. Its Intel Pentium Gold 8505 processor supports Intel Quick Sync Video, which can assist with compatible hardware-transcoding workloads.

Direct Play places relatively little demand on the NAS. Transcoding demand varies substantially with the source codec, resolution, bitrate, subtitle burn-in, client compatibility, Plex settings, and available memory; Plex’s own hardware-transcoding requirements also apply. For installation and configuration steps, follow the UGREEN NAS Plex setup guide.

The two M.2 M.2 NVMe Slots serve two main purposes: SSD caching (accelerating reads/writes from the HDD storage pool by caching frequently accessed data on faster SSDs) or as a dedicated SSD storage pool (for workloads requiring maximum speed, such as running Docker containers, virtual machines, or editing active project files). For most users, SSD caching provides the best quality-of-life improvement. Our guide on mixing SSDs and HDDs covers both strategies in detail.

For most users with four matching drives, RAID 5 is the capacity-and-protection balance. Choose RAID 6 when the additional fault tolerance is worth the capacity trade-off. RAID is not a backup, so keep a separate copy of important data. Use the RAID Calculator for the DXP4800 Plus to model your exact drive sizes.

• RAID 5: Uses the equivalent capacity of one drive for protection and tolerates one drive failure. With four matching 8TB drives, usable capacity is approximately 24TB before system and file-system overhead.
• RAID 6: Uses the equivalent capacity of two drives and tolerates two drive failures. Four 8TB drives provide approximately 16TB.
• RAID 10: Mirrors two drive pairs, leaving approximately 16TB from four 8TB drives. It can tolerate certain two-drive failures, but not two failed drives in the same mirrored pair.
• RAID 0: Uses the full raw capacity but provides no drive-failure protection.

The DXP4800 Plus is a good fit if you need four SATA bays, one 10GbE connection for a high-speed workstation, a 2.5GbE connection for the rest of the network, memory expansion up to 64GB, M.2 SSD support, and room for Docker or virtual-machine workloads.

Consider another model if your priority is two 10GbE connections, U.2 NVMe support, fewer drive bays, or substantially more raw capacity, browse UGREEN NAS storage models.

Both are 4-bay NAS units targeting enthusiasts and small businesses, but with key differences. The DXP4800 Plus uses a faster 5-core Intel Pentium Gold 8505 CPU (vs. the dual-core AMD Ryzen R1600 in the DS923+), includes a built-in 10GbE port (where Synology requires an extra 10GbE add-in card), offers 4K HDMI output (which the DS923+ lacks), and is typically priced around $620, while the DS923+ is roughly $600 before adding 10GbE.

Where Synology pulls ahead is in the maturity of its DSM software, its larger first-party app ecosystem, and its longer track record with enterprise features such as Active Backup for Business. If you prioritize raw hardware performance, 10GbE out of the box, and aggressive pricing, the DXP4800 Plus can offer better overall value for that use case.
