The Exterior

Ugreen has gone for a very clean look overall for its range of NASync appliances and the DXP4800 Plus looks the part of a professional piece of kit. Each of the four drive bays are numbered, which can be handy if the drives have to be removed for some reason, as you're guaranteed to put them back in the right order. You can also see the drive caddy locks here.

At the bottom part of the front of the unit you'll find the power button with a built-in power LED, a set of LEDs that indicate network and drive activity—these can be disabled in software—as well as a full size SD 3.0 card slot, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-C and a USB Type-A port.


We have to give Ugreen a big thumbs up on the included dust filter—which is magnetic to boot—which is something we'd like to see on every NAS out there, as it prevents a fair amount of dust from entering the device through the 140 mm fan. As expected, we find most of the ports around the back of the NASync DXP4800 Plus and this is where things get a little bit interesting. Unlike most of the NASync DXP4800 Plus competitors, Ugreen decided to go with not just a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, but also a 10 Gbps port. On top of this, there's a 4K capable HDMI port—although Ugreen doesn't specify if this is 4K30p or 4K60p—a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port and two USB 2.0 ports, a recessed reset button and a 19 volt DC input.


At the bottom of the NAS is a hatch that hides a compartment home to a pair of SO-DIMM memory slots, as well as two M.2 2280 connectors.
