UGREEN NASync Family Hands-on at CES: From HDDs to SSDs

[btarunr]

UGREEN just announced its NASync line of NAS servers at the 2024 International CES, and we went hands on. Our tour begins with the large NASync DXP8800 Pro 8-bay 3.5-inch NAS; and DXP6800 Pro 6-bay 3.5-inch NAS. These are powered by unspecified models of 12th Gen Core i7 and Core i5 processors, respectively, along with 8 GB of single-channel DDR5 memory, a 128 GB SSD for as their internal system disk, and dual 10 GbE networking interfaces. The two also feature their own HDMI display outputs from the UHD 700-series iGPUs, SD card readers, and Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Next up, are the smaller NASync DXP4800 4-bay, and DXP2800 2-bay NAS; which are powered by Intel N-series SoCs that feature only E-cores; 8 GB of DDR5 memory, 32 GB of eMMC based system disks, an SD 3.0 card reader, and 2.5 GbE networking interfaces. The DXP4800 has two 2.5 GbE interfaces, while the DXP2800 has just the one. The star attraction is the NASync DXP480T Plus, an all-flash based NAS. It has pretty much the same underpinnings as the DXP6800, including a 12th Gen Core i5, 8 GB of DDR5 memory, and a 128 GB SSD as system drive; but comes with four M.2-2280 slots, each with PCI-Express 4.0 x4 wiring. You get one 10 GbE networking interface, two Thunderbolt 4, an unspecified Wi-Fi + Bluetooth interface (possibly 6E), and an HDMI output from the iGPU of the Core i5.

These could be interesting. I'd love to know prices and if you can run your own OS though

Agreed, they look like great candidates for TrueNAS.

Because when you need to install or replace drives you should be forced to flip the chassis upside-down.
