DXP4800 Plus

Let's simplify things for you here: For NAS, get yourself a UGreen DXP4800 Plus or Pro. This will have all the CPU processing and video transcending chops that you will crave. It also comes with a 10Gbe port for faster network connectivity. Then for storage, start off with Qty: 2 of 16TB HDDs and se

Congratulations - even the Pro Version. Great future proof pick! Out of the box my DXP 4800 Plus was very loud when hard disk was working. You can add some rubber (or silicon feet) on the bottom - https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CVHCXYK3 Replace the Fan with a Noctua - https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07655KF5C

I’m running a DXP4800 Plus fully built out, so here’s some real-world feedback. Drives: 12TB is a solid starting point, but if budget allows, bigger drives age better. I’m running 4×24TB WD Red Pro and noise/heat are totally manageable with the stock chassis (I did swap to a quieter fan). In practic

I went with a ugreen dxp4800 Plus. I'm an engineer so I knew I wanted to self host stuff by myself. After playing with docker for a month I'm very happy with the results. The Nas is working great with just two 8tb in raid 1. Bought an SSD 1tb to run the docker apps. Got immich, vault warden, Navidro

A NAS is a Network Attached Storage. It's basically an energy-efficient computer specialized in storing data that you keep running 24/7.

DXP4800 plus. You don’t need to fill every bay but you have the option to upgrade in the future.

Honestly, the 4800+ is probably the best value on the market right now. Its not a super fast chip, as its a N100 plus a single alder lake P-Core. The thing is, its WORLDS faster than anything from Synology that is running 7+ year old tech in their systems. The DXP4800 comes with a 120gb NVMe BOOT dr

It is more than what you need. The two-bay DH2300 can work for you. Depending on storage needs the four-bay DH4300 will give you room to grow. Get the DXP line if interested in more advanced features such as docker containers. Following the 3-2-1 Backup rule, I suggest starting with one hard drive i

My personal recommendation would be a Ugreen DXP4800 Plus with 2 drives in RAID 1. Add a 3rd drive later when you need more space and convert to RAID 5. Add a 4th drive later if you need to. If you ever want to run Plex, immich, or other services, it will be able to do it. Mine does.

The cache drives really don't provide any noticeable performance improvement on the DXP4800+ in my experience, but increasing the RAM made a very noticeable difference on my system. Granted I don't have the 2800. A reddit search shows that people are upgrading the single SODIMM to 16 or 32. A user c
