Flagged as a product to avoid

3 of 6 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

The category's loudest marketing push on the thinnest longevity record: two years of firmware history is not a proven track record, and the platform shares the industry shift toward soldered, non-upgradable memory. Buy the DS225+ or TS-464 instead.

Flagged 23 September 2026
Hardware value is strong, but the software ecosystem is unproven, making it a risky choice compared with the more mature options from TerraMaster and Synology.
Flagged 23 September 2026
A first-generation NAS entrant with an immature UGOS platform and no long-term software track record, which is the single biggest risk you can buy in this category despite genuinely excellent hardware that outlets credit for value. Buy the Synology DS225+ or TerraMaster F4-424 Pro instead.

I’d say the NASync DXP4800 Plus is the sweet spot in terms of price and performance for their entire range, but in reality, you could argue each NAS is a sweet spot for its pricing.

The UGREEN DXP4800 Plus is an excellent choice for someone willing to get stuck in with their NAS. If you’re willing to live in Docker, it’s got container loads of oomph and even more value.

The DXP4800 Plus includes 10GbE as standard, which changes the value calculation significantly if fast networking is a priority.

On ATTO, the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus was one of the fastest NAS enclosures we've yet tested. Whether reading or writing to the disk, SSD, or cached volumes, it managed at least 64 megabytes per second (MB/s) on 4KB operations – a brilliant result. At around 155MB/s its 16KB write speeds weren't quite so exceptional, but at 243MB/s its read performance was astonishing.
